STRAP IT DOWN

The PowerFast StrapGun is a lightweight, all-steel anchoring tool for 12/2 and 14/2 non-metallic sheathed cable (NM-B and NMC types). A guide system positions insulated, UL-listed PowerFast straps over the cable, eliminating the risk of pinching or cutting it, and the plastic insulator provides a built-in depth-stop for the staple; the tool meets all code requirements. Its drive-spring mechanism requires less effort, preventing hand fatigue. It requires no power cord or air hose and can be carried on a tool belt or tool pouch, and comes with a belt clip. Straps come in 25-piece strips and are available in 400-count boxes which also fit in a tool pouch or apron.
