Another easy to operate pneumatic tool from Signode is the RCNS2-114. Commonly known as the pistol grip sealer, it is a great user friendly tool that can be operated single handedly. As with all Signode tools, this tool is also ergonomic in design and lightweight. Due to this feature it is popular among the workers.
Though it is a very simple tool, Signode has a good manual insisting on safety guidelines while using its tools. The RCNS2-114 also comes with a good safety manual and warranty. Operators are generally given training on how to use these tools either by a trained professional from Signode or a company operated who has experience handling these tools.
The RCNS2-114 applies a single reverse notch seal joint on high tensile steel strapping. Since its casing is made of metal alloys, it is safe to use and durable. It also performs well even in harsh strapping conditions.

According to industry experts, the RCNS2-114 is great to install street signs, in oil drilling platforms and chemical and water treatment plants. It is also useful in securing cables on boats and ships. The only disadvantage according to many users is that since this is only a sealer, they have to use a separate tensioner in order to pull the strap tight.
Though there are efficient tensioners like Fromm A452 and Signode PN2-114, there are those who prefer the combination tools that are far easier and faster to use. Pneumatic tools are fast losing favor among some of the industry users who are switching to battery operated tools that are brought out by Signode and Fromm. These tools are very efficient, easy to operate and faster, increasing productivity.
The RCNS2-114 is very efficient when sealing in awkward positions and whenever productivity needs to be maximized. These labor saving devices come in two styles, light weight pistol grips and the diaphragm types for heavy duty applications.
