Flexco Introduces Its Improved Aluminum MSRT Installation Tool

DOWNERS GROVE, (IL) May 6, 2008 – Flexco is pleased to announce the release of its improved Aluminum MSRT Installation Tool complementing the Flexco® SR™ Fastening System with a focus on providing a lightweight, portable application tool. The Aluminum MSRT Multiple Rivet Driving Tool has been designed to assist splice installers in harsh working environments where heavy splicing equipment has to be moved on a regular basis.

The tool's new scalloped design of the riser plate allows for fast, accurate alignment of fastener strips on the anvil plate. The riser plate positions the belt for easier feed into the fastener strips.

The robust design of the clamp bar with Acme threading provides maximum holding capabilities, especially on thick, high tension belts where a safe strong hold is required. The clamp bar and riser plate have been designed with serrated grips for more secure clamping and operator efficiency.
