Ramset® Introduces Upgraded Cobra+ Powder Actuated Tool

GLENVIEW, Ill., Oct. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Ramset has introduced an updated, feature-rich version of its Cobra+, .27 caliber Powder Actuated Tool. These features help professional contractors increase productivity while addressing key worker pain points. The latest tool includes several unique upgrades to ensure worker comfort, such as noise suppressing design, that reduces sound up to 30 percent, an improved power adjust system to reduce load changes, and improved ergonomics for more comfort.

The Cobra+ weighs 5.25 pounds, lighter than competitive tools, giving users the valuable benefits of improved balance and reduced fatigue. This means workers can minimize how often they need to stop work and rest their hands due to discomfort.

Similarly, the improved power adjust system helps contractors decrease the amount of times they need to pause on the job to change out loads, and the ergonomic grip and padded handle design absorb recoil, providing greater comfort on long jobs.

"In our almost 70-year history, Ramset has secured a reputation for producing durable, dependable tools for residential and commercial construction," says Victor Truong, Project Engineer. "The Cobra+ has been tested to fire more than 9,000 shots with only regular maintenance and cleaning, underscoring the brand's ability to provide quality tools for professional contractors."

The Cobra+ can be used with a maximum pin length of three inches, covering the majority of core applications contractors face on residential and commercial jobsites. The significant noise reduction allows contractors to work on jobsites without disturbing occupants in adjacent spaces.

The new Cobra+ passes ANSI A10.3 and Australian Standard AS/NZS 1873.2 drop tests for safety requirements and durability at the same level as the previous tool model. Contractors must be licensed to use this tool; there are opportunities to become licensed on Ramset.com or through a licensed instructor.

The Cobra+ is available at The Home Depot, in-store and online, now. For more information, please visit Ramset.com.
