I don't know what I would do without my air
system and tools. My shop would come to a grinding halt without my staplers, nailers,
brad guns and T-nailer.
Never been a fan of nailers persay and not even in part due to having to with the help of Linsemens pliers having to pull one out of someone's
hand at one
point. (The cordless drill caught in someone's hair was a
bit less dramatic.) Used them over the years and the glue helps the
nail but overall when doing bigger lumber I stll think a drywall screw is better. Both in compressing the lumber in gripping it in a
strand bending sense to keep it in, but the screw threads I think also help in at least balancing that glue. The screw is also fairly easily removed for re-use of the materials, a
nail is not even over that of a staple that can be removed fairly easily. The glue on a pneumatic
nail... not as easy to remove.
Not persay against a nailer but thinking with my own first buys a finish nailer than narrow
crown stapler, they were more useful. Sure if doing mostly stud type sets the nailer might be useful, but especially for me the narrow
crown gun is really useful in range from 1/2" to 1.1/4". This for soft
flat to as
current project tool drawers so I can get rid of my
road box and free up some space. Finish nailer is really useful for
molding. Both I think a good start and needing a smaller
compressor in start up costs.
Now that I finally have a 20gal.
compressor and soon to supplement it with an extra 10gal. I intend to buy a medium
crown gun next. The nailer.. don't expect I'll ever need such a thing but I don't do stud walls. For a stud wall, need a big
compressor thus a nailer wouldn't be a starting thing I would recommend unless you also have a large
compressor.
