Overview

The Panduit MEHT187 Metal Embossing Hand Tool is a lightweight, portable solution for creating durable, raised identification marks on metal tape for industrial applications. This compact tool embosses 3/16" (4.8 mm) characters on both aluminum (META-X) and stainless steel (METS3-X/METS4-X) tapes, ensuring maximum visibility in harsh environments. The MEHT187 includes one roll each of META (aluminum) and METS (stainless steel) tape, an additional marking wheel, and a carrying case for on-site convenience. With a lettering height of 0.18" (4.8 mm), the tool supports alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9) and symbols (/ ( )), making it ideal for labeling pipes, cables, valves, and equipment exposed to dirt, paint, or extreme temperatures ranging from -112°F to 1000°F (-80°C to 538°C). Designed for medium to high-volume applications, the MEHT187 delivers fast embossing speeds up to 300 plates per hour, providing a corrosion-resistant and long-lasting identification solution for indoor and outdoor environments. The tool’s easy-feed design simplifies cable tie installation, improving productivity in demanding settings. Compatible with Panduit Pan-Steel stainless steel cable ties, the embossed plates feature a raised slot for secure attachment. The MEHT187 is a cost-effective, on-demand labeling solution that eliminates the need for pre-printed labels, reducing downtime and installation costs. Its durable construction and compatibility with Panduit’s embossing tapes ensure reliable performance in electrical infrastructure, safety signage, and industrial identification projects. Whether for new installations or maintenance, the MEHT187 provides permanent, tamper-proof identification that withstands abrasion, chemicals, and environmental stress.
