For home and DIY users seeking professional performance levels, the ALU940 is a newly developed, revolutionary staple gun, which is up to 65% easier to fire compared with conventional staple guns. This is possible thanks to Rapid’s new patented Powercurve® Technology which makes the handle's power follow the hand’s natural power curve exactly. This means that the gun applies the users strength optimally, saving energy and reducing user fatigue. The ALU940 can be used regularly for tasks including fastening thinner boards or Masonite or material such as insulation, damp proof coursing, plastic wrap, labels, cardboard, paper or other items that demand high levels of fastening.
