A Great Pneumatic Sealer: A461
Even though pneumatic tools are slowly losing popularity, they are still used by many industries who do not wish to switch over to faster battery operated tools. The Fromm A461 is a great pneumatic sealing tool that is used by many industries. It is a stand-alone sealing tool with a safety mechanism that prevents defective joint.
The A461 is intended for use with a push style tensioner tool, like Fromm’s A452. Fromm tools are by and large very durable and strong tools that are ergonomically designed and user friendly. The A461 is very safe to use and can be single-handedly operated.
This tool applies an up-cut double-notch joint and applies the seal in a single stroke in a very smooth and even manner. The A461 and the A452 are used to seal and strap large and hard to strap applications, like timber, metal beams, pipes and other objects with a long diameter and a small surface area. This tool is a very strong tool among other pneumatic tools and pulls close to 1900 pounds of tension.

A suspension bracket is available along with a spring loaded balancer and using this is highly recommended due to the weight of the tool and the applications it would be strapping. It is for this reason many industries have begun switching over to combination tools that do the work of tensioning, sealing and cutting in one go and is very convenient for the operator, who saves a lot of time by not switching to different tools for tensioning, sealing and cutting.
Fromm A483 is a very popular combination tool and does all three jobs of tensioning, sealing and cutting at the touch of a button. According to industry experts purchasing the A483 is a great investment option as it is cost effective in the long run. Also, it is easier to care for one tool that performs three operations than taking care of three different tools. Another advantage is that it reduces the number of airlines on the work room floor making it easy for the operators to work.
