Strapping Machines And Packing Machines: What's The Difference?
Strapping machines enable many items to be bundled securely together by way of a metal or plastic band. This band is then cinched tight by a ratcheting handle and kept in place by a metal buckle that's applied by a special banding tool.
There are many companies that manufacture a variety of different types and styles of machines that perform basically the same function. Many companies use strapping machines to secure their products to transport pallets or crates as well as strapping many products together on their own, such as piping and metal rods.
The strapping machine works by pulling and fastening a band of metal or plastic around the products and keeping them immobile during transport. Whether it's across town or around the globe, many companies rely on the strapping machine to get the products to market safely and securely. Some basic training is usually required to be able to strap and fasten products properly. Not performing the required steps in just the right order can make for a load that is loose and may shift. This will mean a dangerous load not only for the driver of the transport truck but also for the person unloading the products by forklift. If the strapping isn't tight enough, it can slip off and the load can become very unstable and dangerous.
Packing machines are used to place products into packing boxes or crates to make them ready for transport to the market, or to the customer directly. Some packing machines utilize special electronic eyes that can actually sense when the product is within its range of movement and it will pick up the product and place it in the box or crate. Packing materials such as Styrofoam beads or peanuts are then poured in to provide a cushion against breakage and jarring during transport.
The packing machine also can close up and seal the box as well as place an inked stamp or label on the box in preparation for shipment. Some packing boxes and crates are strapped together on a pallet by way of a strapping machine before being moved into the back of a truck for transport. Some packing machines can even handle breakable items such as plates and ceramic tiles without damaging the products at all. This takes a specialized machine of course, which usually means that the machine will cost a lot. Many packing machines also weigh the product and case or box before shipping it out in order to calculate shipping or mail costs. This is usually all done by way of an onboard program within the machine that is connected to a computer. This program keeps track of all inventories in this way and can tell what products are on hand and which ones have been sent out of the warehouse to the customer.
There are probably packing machines at manufacturing companies that package up strapping machines for shipment, which seems a little redundant. Packing machines can make repetitive packaging jobs much easier to handle and keep track of for companies that specialize in this business.

How do I break a ratchet?
I have a really old snap-on 1/2" ratchet that I found. I know with their lifetime guarantee, they would give me a brand new one if it was broken. But that's the problem. It isn't broken. If I beat the crap out of it with a sledge hammer, would that void the warranty? lol. Any ways you can think of break it without looking like I broke it? I was thinking maybe chucking the tip into a drill press and holding the handle and spinning it until it couldnt handle it anymore. Ideas please!
So you're telling me that they would replace the guts of a ratchet they haven't produced in who knows how many years? And you're all 100% right about using it because it IS a perfectly good ratchet, but there's something about a shiny new chromed out 1/2" snap on ratchet that appeals to me. I'm sure you understand. If it's hard to get them to actually replace it, I'll just use it. I thought the guarantee was like no questions asked here you go have a new one.
So why would you want to break it if its not broken? that makes no sense at all, first off Snap On will just replace the head assembly not the whole ratchet, and the fact they will know you misused it will void any warranty, and if they want to get real nasty they will make you show proof of purchase, in most cases you deal with the distributor anyway, ya know the guy that shows up at your shop once a week in his big tool truck. that's the guy you want to deal with, sometimes if your in good standing with him deals can be made, he might actually know someone on his route that is looking for the vintage stuff, that way you get a new ratchet and everyone is happy, but the guy that just happens to find a Snap On tool and decides he wants a brand new shiny one just is not going to happen.
