Some tools become popular due to the brand name. If the tool is manufactured by Fromm, customers are assured of its quality and durability. Fromm’s P355 is one such tool that is very popular in the industry, even though people constantly switch from pneumatic to battery operated tools as they are more efficient and faster.
The P355 is a poly strapping pneumatic tool that is very consistent in its performance. Also unlike many other pneumatic tools, this tool is very light in weight and can be carried around by the workmen. This increases productivity and efficiency and fatigue is eliminated. Many companies are reluctant to switch to poly strapping from steel strapping. This tool is an ideal one to start the switch over, because it is very simple to operate and the added advantage is that the savings due to this switch over will be 50 %.
