What this tool is for

The Logan F400-1 places individual inserts with a swivel foot. It suits fitting jobs where you want to choose and load a fastener at each position around the frame. If you regularly install a run of the same points, compare the magazine workflow of the F500-2 before buying.

Choose the insert around how you expect to use the frame. A backing you will reopen has different needs from one you plan to leave in place. Confirm the exact insert code on the F400-1 product page before ordering a refill.

Questions about this tool

Which insert codes cover rigid and flexible fitting?

Logan identifies F10 for a rigid insert and F11 for a flexible insert in this tool. Check those codes on the selected package.

What should I check if I also fit a canvas in a frame?

Check the actual fit of the canvas and the offset of the frame back. Logan documents a multipoint option for work mounted on stretcher bars.

Can I use it on a very wide molding?

Logan lists 3 inches, and the selected listing also gives 2½ inches in its description. If your molding is near either figure, confirm the clearance for your profile with Logan before buying. Measure the width where the tool will sit.
