The tool is formed of a pair of planar webs which are spaced apart, in a parallel disposition, and are joined, along common sides thereof, in a spine. One of the webs has a diagonal cutting edge formed therealong, and the other thereof is integral with an apertured tab which extends therefrom in an obtuse angle. The web with the cutting edge further has an upturned lip which closes into proximate interface with the other web. Ends of strapping are slid into the tool, after having been enwrapped about a crate, box, stack of lumber, or the like. The tool can be crimped, to secure the strap ends therein, or the strapping can be crimped elsewhere, for or aft of the tool. When the strapped crate, box, or whatever, needs to be opened, one has only to insert a tire iron, rifle barrel, or the like, into the aperture of the tab and, bearing against the tool with the end thereof, pull the cutting edge across the strapping to sever the same.
