Cable Tie Tensioning Tool
The Malco TY4G is a hand-operated cable tie tensioning tool built for electricians and installers who secure bundles with nylon ties. It tensions and cuts in one motion, reducing repetitive strain during panel building, conduit runs or datacom terminations.
Width and Strength Limits
The tool accepts nylon cable ties from 0.18 in to 0.25 in wide with a tensile strength range of 125 lb to 175 lb. Ties outside this width or strength window will not tension correctly or may slip in the jaws, so the installer must match the tie specification to the tool range.
Capacity and Headroom
It comfortably handles standard intermediate and heavy-duty nylon ties used in electrical enclosures and cable management. The tool runs out of range with miniature ties below 0.18 in or extra-heavy ties above 175 lb tensile strength, which require a different tensioning tool.

Questions about this item
Should I use this tool with .18 in or .25 in cable ties?
The TY4G works with nylon ties from .18 in up to .25 in wide, so any tie in that range will tension and cut cleanly.
What does the 125 to 175 lb tensile rating mean when I am on the job?
It means the tool tensions and cuts nylon ties rated between 125 lb and 175 lb breaking strength — the range most common for standard electrical bundling.
Does the tool have a specific interface or standard that limits the ties I can use?
No proprietary interface; it accepts any nylon cable tie from .18 in to .25 in wide with a tensile strength of 125 to 175 lb.
