I've had an air brad nailer for years. They're soooo fun! Only shot a nail through my finger once. I was on the floor of the garage, nailing something, when it happened. The brad went in, hit the concrete floor and bent into a u shape. Think it even might have stuck in the floor a bit. My whole thought process while extracting the thing was, gee, my wife would really freak out if she saw this! Better fix it before I go in the house. It wasn't a terrible experience. They are nice to have! I used to pop squirrel feeders together with mine and all sorts of stuff.. ----- Original Message ----- From: Barry Levine To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, March 29, 2008 6:12 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] A Paslode Nailer
Howdy Blind Handy People, I have a new, as in just purchased about an hour ago, Paslode 18-gauge cordless brad nailer! Hah! My scores on the man-scale have just risen another whole standard deviation above the mean! It works off a battery and a gas charge. The battery will last approx 4000 hits, and the gas canister will go for approx 1200 hits. It will handle brads from five-eights inch long, on up to two inches. I bought it because I have a little project that was going to be a pain if I had to manually nail some finishing brads to hold a couple of 6-foot lengths of one-by 3 clear finishing pine in place.Now, the only problem I have is not having enough finishing work around the house to use it more. The only downside to this little 4.9 pound beauty of a tool is that my wife states she won't stay in the same room with me while I'm shooting. Ah well, life is full of little sacrifices. --Barry [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
