The best strapping machine is the I10.  At under $1000 it is also a great bargain   The Uline strapping machines are cheap imported pieces of garbage (in my opinion).  This table top strapping machine is the same cost, and made in Japan from high quality materials!  Strapack has great machines, and we suggest buying the I10 strapping machine over anything else!  It simply lasts forever and does not break down!
