Clinch the strongest interlocking B-deck side-lap connections
Creating the strongest side-lap connections just got easier.
RED® – the Rolling Electric Deck tool. The first and only battery-powered deck tool on wheels.
The only deck tool on wheels
RED® has an ergonomic design that’s easy on your back, enabling users to effortlessly and consistently clinch the industry’s strongest, stiffest side-lap connections on interlocking B steel deck (BI). Running on battery power, RED® eliminates cords and hoses—and the risk of tripping or getting all tied up.
Complete large-scale jobs efficiently
RED® really shines on high-square-footage steel construction projects. Its ease of use means you’ll work smarter and easier to achieve the strongest, most consistent side-lap connections. While the tool’s ergonomic design will improve the efficiency and performance of your personnel.
Visual verification
When it comes to confirming your side-lap connections, RED® provides three means of verification. A green light will appear with an audible tone when you’ve completed a clinch. Users can then easily verify a successful connection with a simple visual inspection: You should see three plies at the point of connection, and light should be able to shine through a complete connection.
