Flexco Introduces the Alligator® Staple Gold Class™ Plus Installation Tool

March 6, 2012 - PRLog -- Flexco recently introduced the Alligator® Staple Gold Class™ Plus installation tool. Designed for quicker and easier installation of Alligator Ready Set™ Staple fasteners, the installation tool combines the initial drive and final set into one base and simplifies the process of switching plate sizes.

The Gold Class Plus installation tool integrates the initial drive and final set functions into a single tool base, eliminating the need to switch bases in the middle of an installation. The simple adjustment between initial drive and final set position not only makes installation quicker, but virtually error proof as well.

Rapid transition of the tool to accommodate multiple fastener sizes is also possible with the Gold Class Plus installation tool. The quick-change comb design allows users to change between fastener sizes in seconds, as opposed to minutes.

The installation tool is compatible with the Alligator Gold Class power driver, which simplifies installation with effortless trigger pulls to drive the staples and provide proper compression, while keeping the fastener loops protected to ensure smooth hinge pin insertion.

The Alligator Staple Gold Class system eliminates the need to use a hammer, reducing the risk of repetitive motion injuries and operator fatigue associated with hammer-installing numerous splices throughout the day.

“Users can expect to reduce installation time by 35 percent with the Alligator Staple Gold Class Plus system,” said Beth Miller, director of light duty marketing for Flexco. “They will also see improved splice consistency in comparison to the hammer installation method.”
