A pneumatic strapping tool for tensioning a strap around a load, adhering the strap onto itself, and cutting a feed end of the strap includes a piston, a weld motor operably connected to the piston and a vibrating weld element operably connected to the piston for contacting the strap and adhering the strap onto itself. A tensioning motor is configured for unidirectional rotation. A feed wheel is operably connected to the tensioning motor by a drive assembly to tension the strap prior to adhering the strap onto itself. A transmission cooperates with the drive assembly and is switchable between a first state in which the transmission engages the drive assembly to permit only one-way rotation of the drive assembly and a second state in which the transmission permits two-way rotation of the drive assembly. The strapping tool includes a self-contained pneumatic module that is removably mounted to a cylinder housing. The module includes a compressed gas inlet, a plurality of valves and passageways between the inlet and the valves to provide compressed gas to the cylinder housing, a pneumatic weld motor and the pneumatic tensioning motor. The module includes at least one timer for operation of the weld motor and for providing pressure to the cylinder. An articulating guide is disposed at the strap path and moves between an open path position when the tensioning motor housing is pivoted to the loading/unloading position and a closed path position when the tensioning motor housing is pivoted to the strap engaging position. The guide aligns the strap with a second strap to which the strap it is adhered and aligns the straps with the feed wheel and anvil.
