Nailers & Staplers
If you’re intimidated or unsure about using a nail gun, the Porter Cable PCC790LA goes overboard making the specifics of its operation as straightforward and unambiguous as possible. The magazine of the Bostitch F21PL holds 60 plastic-coated framing nails, from 2 to 3.5-inches long, or 60 metal-connector nails. The teeth on the Bostitch F21PL are nice and chunky, great for digging into wood while toe-nailing. We’ll also see my new DeWalt cordless finishing nailer in action too. Compared to pneumatic framing guns, this is a spendy proposal to consider. It’s also a lot more complex, with on-board electronics and a more moving parts.
When I was using it to create a ramp with boards that were hanging off the edge of a surface, the boards moved with the shot of the nailer and did not set as reliably. After moving the boards onto a solid surface and adjusting the setting of the nailer to 2, they drove in beautifully. The trigger of the Bostitch F21PL offers both sequential and bump settings. Sequential firing means that every time you pull the trigger, one nail is shot out.
Once done, I epoxied the magazine body into the hole and quickly assembled everything so that I could make sure it all looked right before the epoxy set up. Once the epoxy cured, I took the mag back apart, cleaned up some of the bigger resin boogers, and then masked the top of the mag and hit it w/ some mil-spec glossy black coating . The new nail gun, made by Dewalt can drive a 16D nail through a 2 X 4 at 200 yards. This makes construction a breeze, you can sit in your lawn chair and build a fence. Just get the wife to hold the fence boards in place while you sit back and relax with a cold drink.
Typically powered by compressed air , these also now come in electric versions and some battery-powered versions. Pneumatic staple guns are the best for the carpeting and flooring jobs. Since you can find various types of carpet and flooring staple guns ranging from manual to pneumatic, their price depends on their type. Manual staple guns are the cheapest, electric and pneumatic staple guns are pricier than the manual ones. The stapler is the most common used furniture building gun that you can use for any furniture.
I adjusted the depth gauge to the deepest setting but it still only drives a 3inch nail about 2 inches in. Has worked flawlessly up to now dewalt tools but now the nails wont feed right about half the time. If so did you manage to fix it or is it a case of sending it back to dewalt.
The battery will allow you to fire 700 nails before needing a recharge. You’ll be able to use it comfortably even in tight spaces and for long periods of time thanks to its ergonomic design.
