Fletcher FrameMate Framing Tool

Description

Reviews

A professional quality tool, the FrameMate inserts brads and 5/8" framer's points into wooden picture frames up to 3" (76 mm) wide. Squeezing the handle brings clamping pressure to bear on the brads or points, forcing them into the wood.

A rubber cushion and minimum pressure prevent the tool from marring the outside of your frame, especially small and delicate frames. Use FrameMate with canvas panels, boards, etc.

Loose Framer's Points — Order separately. Available in packages of 200 or 2000.

Crafters Vital Tool

Comments about Fletcher FrameMate Framing Tool:

Makes setting points in crafted ad manufactured molding an ease regardless of the density of the wood. Sets with a gentile squeeze, lots easier than trying to drive points any other way.

Price Increase

Comments about Fletcher FrameMate Framing Tool:

I have been using my Fletcher framing tool for years, and like it very much. I recently wanted to buy another one for my daughter and found that they had doubled in price. Do they ever go on sale?

A favorite Tool

Comments about Fletcher FrameMate Framing Tool:

This tool is great for someone like me that frames their own paintings. Not heavy=duty enough for a professional framer. It is adjustable to fit small and average size moldings. I have had mine for 15 years with no problems. What I actually bought recently were the framers points to go with this. I would rate them excellent. The box I was shipped though was not tightly closed and some points spilled into the shipping container.

Professional?

By Chris

from Portland, ME

Comments about Fletcher FrameMate Framing Tool:

This tool took the long toss to the trash can yesterday. No use for hand tools that have specific uses and fail in any way for that use. This tool fails to place a fastener 80% of the time. I'm too old and experienced in wood work to have any use for this junk.

You can do better than this

Comments about Fletcher FrameMate Framing Tool:

This point driver requires the strength of the operator's hand to manually pull to push the point in. If it's really hard wood, you'll have a long afternoon. The magnets to hold the points aren't very effective. I'm getting ready to go purchase one that fires the points in using a load or cartridege of points. Also, a frame approaching 3 inches is too hard to push against. If one isn't careful, the frame finish could be marred. I bought this about 15 years ago when I had a very occasional use and my hands were stronger. It was okay then, but not now that I have a lot more paintings to frame.
