Whether you are securing fiberglass duct take-offs or managing heavy-duty cable bundles, the TY4G provides the mechanical advantage needed to achieve a secure, high-tension fit faster and more reliably than by hand. Engineered for Safety and Comfort Repetitive tensioning on the job can take a toll on your hands. Malco has addressed this with the TY4G’s ergonomic design, featuring gray vinyl cushioned grips that provide a natural fit and feel. To protect the user, the handle closure is designed with reduced pinch points, allowing you to apply maximum force with total peace of mind. The built-in hand stops ensure your grip remains steady, even in tight or awkward spaces. Precision Tensioning and Clean Cutting Achieving the right amount of tension is critical for a long-lasting duct connection. The TY4G features a precision adjustment knob, allowing you to customize the tension for 125 lb. and 175 lb. nylon ties. Once the tie is perfectly tightened, the manual cut-off mechanism allows for a clean, flush finish with a single pull of the handle, leaving no sharp edges behind. Built Tough to Outlast the Elements Constructed from high-grade hardened steel stampings, the TY4G is finished with a durable, black baked-on enamel and nickel-chrome plating to resist rust and corrosion. This tool is built to survive the back of the truck and the rigors of the construction site, ensuring it remains a reliable part of your gear for years to come.
