Actually, you can buy a fairly simple "sdud gun" that you whack with a hammer. The ones I've used were chambered for eigther .22 or .32 blanks. They were safe enough, loud, and unforgiving if you screwed up, but they sure beat drilling into concrete.

Hell of a noise in an enclosed environment and you don't want to make any mistakes with that!! . .The fasteners get pretty expensive too. . .These gas nailers are mostly available in framing and roofing nail sizes. Hitachi,is another industrial manufacturer of the bigger ones. Mostly air is used for framing nailers and of course the all electric nailers apparently use a flywheel mechanism which spins up before driving the nail. I had always assumed they compressed a spring somehow with the motor but apparently not. I don't know how the battery staplers work, quite possibly setting a spring with an electro magnet. So far I have only used the sort you squeeze. . .Dale Leavens, Cochrane Ontario Canada [EMAIL PROTECTED] .Skype DaleLeavens .Come and meet Aurora, Nakita and Nanook at our polar bear habitat. . . . ----- Original Message ----- .

Well, they are out there but it seems that mostly for framing sized nailers . and even they use a rechargeable battery to ignite the gas.
