Battery Powered Net Clip Tools vs. Manual Tools

When it comes to installing net clips from Loos Naples, you need a few different products. One is the net clip hardware, and the second is the tools to install the net clips on wire rope. If you have already purchased need clip hardware and are looking for a tool to install the clips, look no further than our new battery-powered net clip tool. Continue reading to learn about the differences between our new SL-7510-CP3 battery powered tool and the manual 1#N tool.

Labor Intensity:

One of the main advantages of using a battery-powered net clip tool compared to the manual is its reduction of physical labor. With a manual tool, you must hit a heavy hammer repetitively to close each net clip onto wire rope which takes a lot of time and can be particularly strenuous. However, the SL-7510-CP3 tool is automated and prevents the need for hammering each clip onto the wire rope.

Efficiency:

Not only is manually banging each net clip onto wire rope a physically tiring process, but it also takes a much longer time than using a battery-powered tool. A manual tool is a great economical solution for attaching net clips, but we recommend using our battery-powered tool if speed is your priority.                                                                       

Consistency:

Our battery-powered tool ensures the reliability of every clip attachment because it is an automated process. Our manual swaging tool is also highly reliable, but as it requires direct hammer hits to attach the clip; meaning there is potential for user error if the clip is not centered when hit. Using our new SL-7510-CP3 battery power tool will get consistent results from the first clip to the last.

While there are certainly economic advantages to choosing a manual 1#N tool for installing net clips on wire rope, it is clear that if you want the best tool for net clips, choose between our new SL-7510-CP3 battery power tool!
