Construction Marketplace 5 7 Tuesday, January 9, 2018 driven tools for a wide variety of con- tracting and construction needs. Our his- tory of superior craftsmanship carries with it a strong reputation for quality tools designed to get the job done proper- ly and efficiently. We place an emphasis on creating tools that are easy to use for speeding up your jobs, while ensuring safety is never compromised. CM: On your website, you label most of your nailers as 'Nailers and SCRAILers.' Can you elaborate? BM: Our parent company, the Beck Fastener Group ® , is the creator of the SCRAIL ® fasteners. These innovative fasteners are described as half screw, half nail. They are rapidly driven into wood using common pneumatic nailing tools, yet stay adjustable and removable due to their aggressive thread design that reach more than 80 percent of the hold- ing power of screws. Our FASCO ® brand nailers, therefore, are also SCRAILers, for both coil and strip SCRAIL. CM: Tell our readers about your nailers, and how they sync with current tool trends. BM: Our air-driven tools include fine wire-, medium wire- and heavy duty sta- plers, bradders, pinners, T-nailers, as well as manually operated staplers and tack- FASCO America (Cont'd. from p. 1) ers, plus a variety of specialty tools. Our coil and strip nailers, specifically our F58 and F60 lines, accommodate various fas- tener types depending on the task at hand and feature our patented easy jam clear- ing system. We recognize that labor shortages and higher costs necessitate an increased need for tools that maximize the output of each labor hour and minimize overall cost. Versatility is therefore an element in high demand, so contractors can get more from their tools. With this in mind, the new FASCO F60A CN15W-PS90 SCR 3 ½" Coil Construction Framing Tool takes nails as well as SCRAIL fasteners, in both wire coil or 15° sheet plastic coil. It features a wider nail range and is 10 per- cent lighter than its predecessor, the pre- vious F6 AC. Our F58AC RoofLoc-75 is another example. This tool is part of our revolu- tionary RoofLoc ® SCRAIL system that was developed by the BECK Fastener Group to install metal roofing and facades quickly and efficiently, plus it's great for decking, sheathing, fencing, framing and much more. It also comes in a F58AC RHN20-90B SCR version that accommodates multiple different fasten- er types: 20° Plastic Strip Nails, 20° Plastic Strip SCRAIL (fine and coarse threads), 20° BeckDeck ® double thread- ed SCRAIL and 20° Plastic Strip Collated Concrete Pins.
