Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. How do you remove metal banding?
A.
- When the tense straps are cut, they spring outward, leaving sharp edges.
- Wrap the metal strapping in the jaws of duck-billed shears, tin snips or bolt cutters.
- Turn your face away from the metal band and squeeze the tool's jaws together until the tension in the metal strapping relaxes.
