Nail Guns ...

[Raider Ronnie]

Anyone got an older belt driven compressor they want to part with ?
Doing some work inside my house. Plugged in my 30something year old Sears/Robuck in last week and it's time to retire it. Don't want to deal with the noise of an oiless loud one.

Yes Eddie, pretty much
but you could do better elsewhere maybe
I'm not sure if the depot cheapens them with cost cutting inferior parts or not.

try Toolhauz in Needham maybe, there are lots of places online too like toolking.com etc.

the angled porter cable finish may be just fine for you if you're not using in to do lots of houses full of trim. I just like my senco. very reliable, I have their brad gun also.

I ran into that with a Simmons shower/tub valve I bought there .. Plumbers supply house valve had a brass piece that was plastic in the HD valve . I wish they wouldn't do that .. You think your getting the same thing when your not .

Ed make sure the nails it takes do not have the plastic holding them together. they fly off ,I know many guys that got them in their eyes.

Well, you should probably be wearing some sort of eye protection when shooting framing nails anyway....

Tagger...do yourself a favor and buy a coil framer. I have a Senco stick framer, and it is a great gun, but reloading every few minutes really can be a pain.

I'd really like a 16 gauge finish nailer as the holes are easier to fill.

Try coastaltool.com for ordering. Excellent customer service, free UPS delivery (next day for me here in Boston), and excellent prices.

stick nailers are for 2x stock as in putting headers,corners,rafters,joists..

coil nailers are made for plywood/sheathing/strapping..

stick nails are a heaver ga. closer to a real common nails if you buy the right nail for them.

coil nails are mere thin ga. or known as a box nail which requires you to use many as this is why they come in coils.

stick nails come with plastic holding them together because of the heavy ga. wire and an almost full head.Thinner ga. wire nails don't require this and shouldn't be use in 2x stock framing...

know your tool, know the nail in which job it's made for.

I have a Senco framer, and brad gun. I have Bostitch finish, crown stapler and roofing guns, never had any problem with any of them.

My bddy had a Hitatchi it was older, but it was heavier also.
