- Manual tying tool that automatically makes a tie
- This tool is operated with one hand and without pinching (no more tendinitis risk). The arm works effortlessly.
- One hand is free to position the cane properly.
- It can be used with either the right or left hand!
- Its automatic operation allows working with gloves.
- The tying is done very quickly in just 3 seconds!
- The movement consists of 3 simple steps: 1–push 2–pull 3–lift. (see demonstration photos)
- One spool makes 1100 to 1200 galvanized wire ties
- The tie will gradually degrade and release during wood pulling
USAGE TIPS:
It is very important to perform the movements gently. Simply go forward to the stop, backward to the stop (a quick snap as the wire is cut at the rear stop). It is recommended to work smoothly rather than quickly.
The winding of the spools is specific for Ligatex. If, despite careful winding, the wire gets stuck, the tie will not form. Simply pull 10 cm of wire to pass the blocked area of the spool, then repeat steps 3 and 4 above (operate the tying tool “empty” to cut the wire and reposition the end properly).
LIGATEX requires no special maintenance, just normal use.
There are no systematically wearing parts (even the wire cutter shears without cutting; no sharp edge!).
Just keep it clean and avoid over-oiling. The fully exposed mechanism would otherwise collect dirt. Lightly oil the friction parts with sewing machine oil or penetrating oil.
LIGATEX is a comfortable, fast, and economical machine!
Used for several years in all major vineyards in France and abroad, in Germany, Italy, Australia… the Ligatex tying tool has won over all its users.
More comfortable and faster than separate wire systems; lighter, simpler, just as effective and much less expensive than electric systems, LIGATEX is the ideal compromise for tying under the best conditions!
