FrameMaster Point Driver
The FrameMaster is the perfect point driver for fastening pictures
and mats and glass into wooden picture frames. This point driver
is in use by almost every picture frame shop in the country. It
is the best one made! This gun inserts picture framer's points flat
to the surface and fires up to 100 points without reloading. Each
point provides four times the holding power of brads. We use this
gun constantly! Very rugged built, you will own this gun for a life
time.

 Picture
Frame Fitting Tool
This used to be considered the Expert fitting tool before the framers
points guns came along. It is still used in many a picture frame
shop. To use this tool you place your glass, mats and backing into
the picture frame. Then you use this tool to squeeze small brads
along the top of the backing, into the picture frame. The jaw is
adjustable to fit up to a 3 3/4 inch wide frame molding although
you must leave room for the length of the nail you are going to
use.
It drives brads tight and flat into the frame. Works great, just
slower than the framemaster guns above. Brads only need to go into
the picture frame 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch to hold securely. To see
nails used by this tool click
