Duo-Fast FM550ALR PRO 18 Gauge Pneumatic Engineered Flooring "L" Cleat Nailer (1-1/4" - 1-1/2")
The 550ALR is equipped with the PrimSurfer roller base. The PrimSurfer fulfills the need for increased Speed and Precision in large surface as well as residential flooring jobs. Its two-way fluid sideshift extends the natural hand movement and matches the agility of the installer, allowing a constant, comfortable posture that prevents "top nailing". Not having to lift the tool repeatedly eases off the feeling of tension in the user’s arm and back. PrimSurfer also provides a substantial gain in time and installed surface, which translates into more benefits for the contractor. First to develop and perfect this groundbreaking addition, Primatech keeps improving it with a new generation composite and lighter carrier frame for its adjustable EXPERT series flooring tools.
