Official StorePlant Tying Machine — Garden Tapener for Tomatoes, Grapes & Vines

Tie up a whole row in the time it took to do one plant

Squeeze the handle and the stem is tied — the tape wraps, a staple closes it, and the blade cuts it free in one motion.

Manganese steel body, adjustable jaw, five colors. Works on tomatoes, grapes, cucumbers, peppers, garden flowers and climbing vines.

Hand-tying is the slow part of staking

Twist ties and twine mean two hands, a cut length, a knot, and a walk back when it slips. On a row of twenty tomatoes that is most of an afternoon.

This tool does the whole tie in one squeeze, so you move to the next plant without putting anything down.

1. Hook the stem and its support inside the jaw
2. Squeeze the handle once
3. Release — the tape is stapled and cut

Adjustable jaw, no crushed stems

The opening width adjusts, so the same tool handles a thin cucumber runner and a thick grape cane without pinching either.

The tape holds the stem against the stake rather than biting into it. Stems keep growing through the tie instead of scarring the way they do against wire.

Manganese steel where it takes the load

The frame and jaw are manganese steel — the same reason a good pair of secateurs outlives a cheap one. On plastic tapeners it is the moving mechanism that fails first.

Built for repeat work: greenhouse rows, orchard blocks, market gardens, and a home vegetable patch that gets staked every spring.

What it ties

Plant	Typical use
Tomatoes	Holding stems to stakes and cages as they grow
Grapes	Training canes along trellis wire
Cucumbers	Guiding runners onto netting or mesh
Peppers	Supporting heavy fruiting branches
Garden flowers	Tying climbers to frames and obelisks

Light in the hand, quick to learn

It works like a stapler, so most people have the rhythm within a couple of plants. Light enough to carry down a long row without your forearm complaining, and small enough to live in a garden bucket rather than the back of the shed.

What is in the box

Tape and staples are consumables — plan on refills once you work through the starter pack.

Frequently asked questions

Does the tape come with it?

Yes. A starter bag of tape and staples is included along with the manual. Both are consumables, so plan on refills for a big planting.

Will the tape hurt the plant?

No. The tape holds the stem loosely against the support rather than cinching it the way wire does, and it is meant to stay on through the growing season.

How thick a stem can it handle?

The jaw width adjusts to cover everything from thin cucumber runners to grape canes. It is built for soft and semi-woody growth, not for tying thick branches.

Is the tape biodegradable?

We do not claim that. The source specs list tape and staples with no biodegradable rating, and we would rather not tell you something we cannot stand behind. Remove ties at the end of the season.

Does the color change anything?

No, all five are the same tool. Pick whichever you are least likely to lose in the foliage — orange and yellow are the easiest to spot.

What if it is not right for me?
