Review: Essential Tool for Upcycling: The Perfect Picture Frame Assembly Tab Gun - I’ve been upcycling framed artwork and picture frames for a while now, and this Picture Frame Assembly Tab Gun has become an essential tool in my process. Removing and replacing the backing of frames is a crucial step, and this tool has made it incredibly easy. I love how straightforward it is to use. The tab gun allows me to insert flat metal tabs with precision, which securely hold the glass, artwork, and backing board in place. The professional finish I get from using this tool is impressive, and it’s so much more efficient than struggling with alternative methods. The tabs themselves are flexible, which makes it a breeze to replace artwork or photographs without any hassle. Overall, this hand-operated tab gun offers great value and has made my upcycling projects smoother and more polished. It’s a fantastic investment for anyone who frequently works with picture frames.
Review: Works well. - Works well. Makes framing / re-framing so much easier. Has quite a 'kick' so important to hold the frame secure / tightly when firing the tab into the frame, especially on frames of harder type wood / material. Otherwise very easy to use. No more fumbling around with those little pins for me!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can presure be varied for different types of wood?**
A: information on the box states "adjustable driving force for different woods".small wheel on back of gun indicates left or right for different pressure.

**Q: Does the gun come with staples.**
A: Hi Jill,  I don't think there were any staples with it. You can choose which type you need . . The ridgid or the flexible. The flexible are the type that you punch into the frame and they bend to hold the backing board in place. You can then change the picture. The ridgid I think are more of a permanent thing. It is a very good product and does the job well.Hope this helps.

**Q: What type of clips do you use with this gun.**
A: T4F Flexible Tabs or T4R Rigid Tabs. (Depends on density of wood). Not sure what the term "clips" means in this context.

**Q: Can the gun be used to nail the corners as well?**
A: Hi, no this tool is used to keep everything inside the frame. It inserts flat tabs to keep the items all in the frame.
You would need a different item to join the corners of the frame, we have the PFK03 or PFK04 Tools that would do that job for you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for a Grumpy Grand-dad
*by D***N on 31 January 2014*

I've struggled quietly for years with changing the contents of factory-produced picture frames; either bending the flexible retaining tabs (and cursing the resulting sore bits on my fingers) or practising my dental extraction skills with a pair of pliers to get the rigid tabs out before exploding with rage when trying to get the darn things back in again. The whole thing had turned me into a very VERY grumpy grand-dad indeed. Blasted kids! Why did they need their own picture frame, anyway? And why couldn't they stick with needing just the one picture, instead of growing up all the time? But then a heavy parcel from UK Framing Supplies turned up after I had ordered it via the Big A --- with almost unseemly speed. (Stingy as well as grumpy, I'd even tried for free delivery but with something that heavy, that wasn't reasonable, was it? It turned up next working day.) Now my happiness is complete. The device is built like HMS Dreadnought, which is why the parcel was so unexpectedly heavy, and it has a generally very good feel to it. It's a snap to put those tabs into the frame. (Geddit? "Snap". Oh well...) What to do with all the rest of the 2500 tabs that come in the box that I also ordered, though? More grand-children, anyone? Start my own framing business? Dragons, where are you when I need you?
