Kyocera Senco Industrial Tools Inc. has launched an all-new, built-in-the-USA pneumatic framing nailer. The Senco FN91T1 balances power, durability and ergonomics—it was designed to sink nails all day long and survive the toughest job sites without causing undue fatigue to the user.
The FN91T1 is assembled from globally sourced materials at the company’s Ohio production facility, where most Senco nails and staples have been manufactured for decades. Located outside of Cincinnati, the facility will soon serve as Senco’s global headquarters following an ongoing renovation and addition.
The FN91T1 is Senco’s most powerful pneumatic framer yet, delivering 18% more driving force than comparable framing nailers. It is designed to consistently sink up to 3 1/2” framing nails in dense engineered lumber like LVL and OSB without slowing down. The nailer drives paper-collated, 34° clipped-head and offset-round-head nails from 2” to 3 1/2” in length.
Weighing in at 8.75 lbs and featuring durable magnesium magazine and a body and belt hook made from heavy-duty aluminum, the FN91T1 was built to take abuse. However, Senco’s U.S.-based engineers also designed the FN91T1 to be exceptionally well-balanced and comfortable to use all day. An overmolded rubber grip prevents slipping and reduces fatigue from recoil, and an in-line magazine improves balance and creates a clear line of sight for more accurate nail placement.
Other features include tool-free depth of drive, aggressive toenail safety, dry fire lockout, rear two-step loading and a multi-purpose design. Beside framing, the FN91T1 is ideal for truss building, subflooring, sheathing, decking, siding, fencing, pallets and crate assembly.
The FN91T1 is available at Senco dealers with a suggested retail price of $299. Each tool comes with an air plug, a no-mar pad and a 5-year warranty.
