User questions & answers

Question:	Is it true that the hammer is only "positive placement" for nails up to 2.5" long
Answer:	Yes, pp tip for nails up to 2.5" in length. Framing tip for up to 3.5"
Question:	How is it powered? Is it pneumatic or battery operated and/or use compressed gas cylinders
Answer:	It is pneumatic. I've been using a 6 gal Campbell Hausfeld compressor with 1/4" quick disconnects at about 90 - 100 psi for metal connectors and 16d nails and have never run out of air. I bought it mainly for the metal connector ability, which it does great, but is also great for down to 6d nails. Just turn down the pressure on the smaller nails.
Question:	Is it difficult to find nails for this hammer
Answer:	Metal connector nails need to be larger around to fit properly in the holes and have the shear strength. If the nail is longer than 2-1/2 inches the gun will not fire by design. I can only find the 1-1/2 21 degree nails on Amazon and Home Depot online. They are expensive, but surprisingly, I tried some 33 degree 1-1/2 inch nails in this gun and it fires normal. I don't see any wear as a result either. I would not try this with longer 33 degree nails because they would angle out of reach of the driver. The gun out performs my old Senco SN60 by a large margin, is lighter, but about an inch taller.
Question:	What is the difference between a round head and a clipped head nailer
Answer:	The round head is the traditional type nail you would find in a box or bin of nails. The clipped head is the round head clipped off to the width of the nail shank on two sides--does not had the holding power of the round head.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the kit come with a carrying case or not? Description contradicts
Answer:	Yes, there is a carrying case included.
Question:	Power source in the description says “corded electric”. I thought the power came from the air compressor. Why am I having to plug it in as well
Answer:	Trust me, it is powered by an air compressor. In fact I used mine yesterday. This is a great product. Just remember to use compressor oil in the nailer before each use.
Question:	Is the trigger the only thing that activates the nail being fired? Seems less safe that way
Answer:	No, the nose of the nailer must be depressed to activate the nailer.
Question:	My moldings require a very accurate placement of the nail. Will the "smart point" be worth the extra money over other nailers
Answer:	Absolutely. I found the placement of the brads to be very accurate using the smart point. I use this nailer all of the time.

User questions & answers

Question:	can i purchase replacement baseplates
Answer:	the base plate are non marring for 3/4 and 1/2 inch floors. They are made of some type of vey hard and slick plastic. I uses for prefinished 3/4 inch hardwoods. Not sure of your question, but both come with the tool and you will want one of them on when ever you are laying floors depending on the thickness of your floors.
Question:	Description "non-marring base plates" are included. is that the protective foot attachment (m-4) for prefinished floors? not the same item

Question:	is it for solid harwood flooring
Answer:	This tool is intended for the installation of new hardwood flooring, not to repair previously installed flooring, which squeaks, due to warping, or joist sagging. Old flooring will require some other type of repair, such as the use of screws and wood plugs to covers to them, or special ring shank nails.

Answer:	Used it to put down a large den floor, worked great! Would buy again!

Choosing a Pneumatic Nailer

For small household jobs, an old-fashioned hammer is the perfect stand-by. But if you've got a bigger project on your to-do list, then a pneumatic power nailer could be your new best friend. Pneumatic nailers are a great alternative to traditionally powered nailers, because they're capable of providing more power -- and they operate with fewer moving parts, so a pneumatic nailer can take more abuse than its corded or battery-run cousins.

A Word on Air Compressors

All pneumatic tools require a steady supply of controlled, compressed air in order to work properly, and nailers are no exception. Bigger compressors with hardy motors and large tanks generate higher PSI levels and maintain them longer, so you'll probably want a piston-type, two-stage compressor to power your nailer. Smaller or single-stage models are fine for little projects, but if you need a pneumatic nailer, the odds are good that you're looking for some intense PSI and CFM ratings. Sometimes, a pneumatic nailer will come with its own compressor -- or it can be purchased as part of an air tool set.

How Pneumatic Nailers Work

Pneumatic nailers use compressed air power to cock and release the hammer. In order to fire a fastener, a valve opens to let air fill a cylinder -- which has a piston that's driven down hard and fast. This forces the nail out of the gun and into your workpiece. Then the piston recoils, and another nail is loaded.

Important Points to Consider

Check manufacturer's guidelines to find out what pressure (PSI) and volume (CFM) of air will give your pneumatic nailer the best results. Also, keep in mind that any restrictions on the air hose will diminish the tool's performance. Hoses that are very long, contain too much moisture, or are incorrectly sized will reduce air flow. This can prematurely wear out your tool and cause it to perform poorly.

General Features

Most models will feature a rubber nosepiece to prevent scuffing and marring of your workpieces, plus an exhaust system (rear or adjustable) to keep sawdust and debris out of your face and away from your project. Pneumatic nailers usually have an adjustable depth of drive, and depending on the model, they can accommodate nails up to 2-1/2 inches long, in a variety of different gauge sizes. With a powerful enough compressor behind them, they can shoot thousands of nails a day.

Question:	what compressor to buy for this tool? please advice (for framing
Answer:	I just did my first range shooting today. I was able to borrow a pair of these cups. I wear glasses. I had absolutely NO problems with the seal letting in extraneous noise. Even with 30dB of reduction, the noise is still quite loud, but not enough that your ears will be damaged, or even be ringing, when your shooting day ends. I just put in my order for a pair of them. Highly recommended!
