Ergonomics

Ergonomics is the applied science of equipment design intended to reduce operator fatigue and discomfort and it is the key behind the Apla-Tech® Pneumatic Drywall Finishing Tools. Operated by "air", these tools drastically reduce the physical strain normally associated with drywall finishing and thus increase measurable productivity for the drywall finisher.

Statistical data in an independent study presented to the public in May, 2002 showed that it took only 2% the muscle force to run the Apla-Tech® tools for finish work compared to the mechanical tools. And with the government looking to implement new ergonomic guidelines for drywall finishing, Apla-Tech® Pneumatic Drywall Finishing Tools are the tools of the future.

The Cannon®

No "push" tool

By using the "Cannon"® for all your finishing needs, be it angles, flat seams or corner bead, this one tool does it all!

Simply fill with compound by using our pneumatic pump or you can use your hand pump. With the desired head in place, you're ready to finish with ease.

With a 3' standard Cannon you can coat 80 to 120 linear feet (depending on coat) before having to refill the tube. This is a savings of approximately 20% of your time per day just in tool filling!

Imagine, increasing your production and decreasing the strain on YOUR BODY! With air power instead of back, arm and shoulder power, you can work longer without the fatigue found in awkward, unbalanced mechanical tools.

The "Cannon"® comes with 50" supply hose and uses as little as 3/4 horsepower compressor and 15 to 35 PSI depending on thickness of mud.
