Does anyone remember the strapping (tyton?) guns that were bought into use in the RAF somewhere in the late 80's - early 90's? Wonderful bits of kit at first, load the magazine with plastic clips, load a clip into the gun, wind the plastic tape round the loom, stuff the ed of the tape into the clip, tighten it up, squeeze the trigger to shove a pin in the clip into the tape, then cut the tape - all very simple & quick apart from one minor problem. The loaded magazine of clips would discharge its contents all over the place if you got it wrong, FOD hazard of the highest order, as in safe s&x the tool was quickly withdrawn!
