The SnapTable PRO Hyper-Lite not only speeds up panel installations but also perfects them. 

In a recent MetalCast episode, host Heidi J. Ellsworth sat down with Morgan Jakosa, an expert from Swenson Shear, to talk about the company's innovative metalworking tools. What stood out was their flagship product, the SnapTable PRO Hyper-Lite, a game-changing tool designed to accelerate panel installations while maintaining a high standard of quality. 

"Swenson is an amazing company. We're American-made tools and we're a small family owned business, but we're doing really big things," Morgan said. The SnapTable PRO Hyper-Lite epitomizes this, as it notches, cuts and hems standing seam panels. Its adjustability for different panel widths and profiles offers a versatile solution, cutting down on preparation time for roofing contractors.  

The podcast touched on the prevalent labor shortages in the metalworking industry. With the SnapTable PRO Hyper-Lite, smaller firms can grow and larger companies can advance by automating some of the most time-consuming tasks. "With our tools, you're able to not only speed up the process of panel installations, but you're perfecting them as well," Morgan said. 

Moreover, Morgan highlighted the ease with which new employees can be trained using the tool. "Not only are you training the younger generations who you hope will grow with the business and continue to learn the trade and stick with you in roofing, you're teaching them the right way... once they get the hang of it, it's amazing what they could do," she said. With user-friendly designs and 24/7 customer service, Swenson Shear ensures that anyone can become proficient with their tools, further alleviating labor shortages.  

Lastly, their tools are not only made in the U.S. but are also built to last, reinforcing the company's commitment to quality over quantity. "We pride ourselves on American made, so we're not going to cut any corners," Morgan said.
