Say Goodbye to Fastener Jams

Nevertheless, during the few occasions that jams do occur, you can quickly clear the culprits and keep on working without a disruption in the workflow.
Dual Action Trigger for Rapid Fastening
There are two ways in which contact actuation works in the SNS41 stapler, for sequential operation or bottom-fire mode depending on the type of work and speed you want. When you position the tip against the surface and pull the trigger, you get regular sequential operation. If you want rapid firing for larger pieces of work, pull the trigger first and place the tip against the surface. Every time the tip and surface make contact, a staple is pushed in with bottom-fire mode, letting you rapidly shoot staples in high production projects.

Pros
The depth of drive adjustment feature on the Senco SNS41 is a great feature to let you drive staples in precisely and deep enough for projects like fencing with wood dowels etc. With roof sheathing, users have found the 16 gauge staple will fire staples as speedily as you can pull the tool along your work surface.

The adjustable exhaust is very useful in blowing air away from your face and the surface you are working on, allowing you to work comfortably. You can use the multi-directional stapling feature of the air stapler with the bottom fire mode for large and rapid projects. But if you are working in a group and in certain other circumstances when you want to ensure safety, you can limit firing to a single direction with the sequential trigger mode as described above.
