Malco TY4G Tensioning Tool – Fasten Nylon Ties to Duct Take-Offs

Designed for HVAC and ductwork crews, the Malco TY4G Tensioning Tool helps you secure nylon ties to fiberglass duct take-off connections with controlled grip and clean cuts. The manual operation provides tactile feedback as you apply the right level of tension, while a simple lower-handle pull engages the blade to trim the excess tail. The reduced pinch-point closing reduces strain during repetitive use, and the tool’s rugged, black baked-on enamel finish resists on-site wear.
