1. A strapping device comprising:
a base comprising a tensioning plate;
a rocker pivotable about a rocker-pivot axis from a first rocker position to a second rocker position;
a tensioning wheel rotatable about a tensioning-wheel axis and pivotable with the rocker such that movement of the rocker from the first rocker position to the second rocker position moves the tensioning wheel away from the tensioning plate and movement of the rocker from the second rocker position to the first rocker position moves the tensioning wheel toward the tensioning plate;
a sealing device;
a spring imparting a spring force to the rocker that biases the rocker to the first rocker position; and
an input device movable from a release position to an activated position to activate a motor operably connected to the rocker to pivot the rocker from the first rocker position to the second rocker position, wherein the spring forces the rocker from the second rocker position toward the first rocker position responsive to the input device being released from the activated position.
