By Grace Alexandria. 

Speed up your processes with the SnapTable PRO Hyper-Lite so your company can focus on honing your craftsmanship. 

In Season 1 Episode 20 of MetalCast, Heidi J. Ellsworth visits with Morgan Jakosa of Swenson Shear. and discuss which tools provide the most support during labor shortages. They highlight the benefits of the SnapTable PRO Hyper-Lite, Swenson Shear's flagship product, and cross-training. They cover how these products and tools can save both time and money while being easy to utilize. 

Swenson Shear is a family owned company focused on providing modern, American-made tools to help people complete their jobs more efficiently. One of the main challenges companies have had is balancing labor demand with their available workforce. Swenson has experienced a higher demand for their products. While these tools speed up the labor process, they won’t take away from your craftsmanship. 

“Of course, there's a lot of craftsmanship out there and we're not wanting to take from that at all. We just want to help you speed that process up,” explains Morgan. “You're able to not only speed up the process of panel installations, but you're perfecting them as well. It allows smaller companies to expand and take on more jobs, and it allows these bigger companies that are really behind to not only get caught up, but get ahead as well.” 

Swenson’s most popular product is the SnapTable PRO Hyper-Lite. The SnapTable started with the idea of being able to notch cut and hem standing seam panels and has evolved greatly from there. Now, the SnapTable PRO Hyper-Lite boasts the ability to prep a valley panel profile in the same amount of time as a straight cut, making it extremely user-friendly. 

“I think hearing about our tools for the first time, it probably is overwhelming,” says Morgan. “It looks more complicated than it is, and I know we'll get to that, but it really is user-friendly.”
