Review on ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ Enhance Your Framing Skills with the Logan Pro F400 1 Fitting Tool by Wendy Rodriguez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

works well on soft wood, not very hard

I made frames for some of my mother's paintings. The frames were poplar, poplar (both relatively soft), pear (medium-hard wood), and Japanese pagoda (very dense hardwood). The flexible tips that came with the tool worked really well on poplar and poplar and I liked them so much I will be ordering more. But they could not be driven into a pearwood frame. When I tried to apply more pressure you could actually see the shaft flexing and then the part of the tool holding the tips was cracked and bent. I was able to bend it to stay flat enough to use on softwoods, but wish the tool had a stronger material to hold the tip. I switched to 18 gauge rods for the pear wood frames and they worked fine, but for the really tough Pagota wood the tool couldn't drive the rods at all. So in general it works great for soft wood and can be used with medium hard wood nails but not hard/dense wood.

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
