Primatech 550AR Expert Series Pneumatic Hardwood Flooring Tool

The 550AR is powered by the PRIMPACT striking module and comes standard  with the PrimSurfer roller base combining undeniable versatility. The cam operated height adjuster allows for precise positioning of the fastener on  products from 3/8″ to 3/4″ and 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.

TOTAL PRECISION – SIMPLE OPERATION

Another exclusive feature is the 550A’s articulated, dual action and fully adjustable base which enables it to deal with an infinite variety of solid / engineered flooring from 3/8″ to 3/4″ (10 to 19mm).

Once set on the board, the foot of the tool rests firmly against the tip of the tongue to keep the tool in position and prevent damaging the top finish.

The cam operated base plate adjuster maintains a consistent angle of penetration to deliver the fastener snugly into the nail pocket of the board with controlled penetration and perfect accuracy.

The compact base makes for a narrower racking gap and contributes stability.
