NG Bailey gives
cordless gas nailer the thumbs up
One of the UK’s leading M&E contractors, NG
Bailey & Co, has tested out the latest innovation
from Spit, the Pulsa 700E cordless gas nailer, and given
it a rave review. Aimed at saving electrical contractors
time, money and effort on site, ITW Spit has developed
and launched the Pulsa 700E, the lightest and best balanced
cordless gas fixing tool available. The Pulsa 700E will
tackle a wide variety of jobs around site but is particularly
suited to fixing cables, conduits and cappings.
NG Bailey Project Manager Scott Edwards tested out
the new Spit Pulsa 700E cordless gas nailer on a major
project in Maidenhead, Berkshire. As well as using the
Pulsa system’s standard pins, his team fixed a
variety of clips including cable tie holders, conduit
clips, bows and half bows on the building’s concrete
frame and floors.
“We found the Spit Pulsa
700E to be extremely easy to use and gave huge time savings,”
comments Edwards.
“In particular, the installation
time for metal capping onto concrete risers was reduced
from fifteen minutes per strip using the traditional drill
and screw method, to less than one minute per strip. We
can already envisage many other applications where similar
time savings can be made.”
“As well as these major
time savings, we noticed many other important benefits
over drilling, including significantly reduced hand-arm
vibration, dust-free operation and much less noise,”
he continues. “This gas
powered tool also offers advantages over PATs including
greater user comfort, ease of operation, and the ability
to work with many different substrates from light block
to concrete and steel.”
Overall, NG Bailey estimated that the Pulsa 700E gas-powered
nailer offered total timesavings of around 50% on cable
installation, plus considerable additional savings on
consumables such as drill bits.
Pulsa 700E has been designed with a number of new features
to make electrical installation work quicker, faster
and with fewer interruptions. Its powerful motor drives
15mm-40mm pins and has a magazine capacity of 23 pins
with a 3-pin lock out. Each fuel cell will fire up to
650 pins allowing a 150-pin wastage factor. The new
battery design has a 1-hour charge time and will fire
approximately 1,000 pins before needing a recharge.
A new intermediate storage position stops the battery
falling out of the tool or discharging when not in use;
a highly popular feature in recent tool trials.
