Senco
F-LXP, a new 18-gauge cordless stapler from KYOCERA SENCO Industrial Tools (SENCO), is ideal for siding, paneling, cabinet assembly, and more. The new stapler shoots 18-gauge L-wire staples with a ¼" crown and uses SENCO's FUSION technology to feel and perform like a pneumatic stapler. The F-LXP uses staples from ⅜" to 1-½" in length and does not require a hose or compressor. This cordless stapler is also ideal for heavy upholstery, insulation, soundproofing, trim, sheathing, underlayment, and soffits. Additionally, the cordless stapler's air cylinder does not need refilling from everyday use. Its pressure release valve allows the tool to be depressurized and refilled quickly if maintenance or repair is required. Thumbwheel Depth-of-Drive allows users to set the depth of drive without tools; a Selectable Actuation Switch makes it easy to switch from sequential to bump fire with the push of a button; Jam Reduction Intelligence reduces the occurrence of fastener jams; Dry Fire Lockout reduces wear on the tool, and an LED light and Streamlined Contact Element improve line of sight. senco.com
