Bob, I just bought one from Harbor Freight cause it was cheap and I could do it online. I don't imagine I'll use this all that often, but hopefully it'll work for a while anyway.

However, Bostich is a very good brand. All of the other big names you read about over here make them too. Porter Cable, Dewalt and Passload. I'm not sure about the air fittings between here and there. Most air tools come with the same female pipe thread fitting and you supply the end that fits your connector to the air supply. The fun will be in finding a place that will ship over seas. Many places won't even ship to Canada from inside the states, but I haven't studied the problem much since I live in the states and don't have a problem shipping. ----- Original Message ----- From: Agent86b To: blindhandyman@ <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, December 13, 2008 4:52 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Palm Nailers again Hi all, you all have convinced me that I really need a Palm Nailer. If for no other reason I can use standard nails. Here if I purchase a finishing nail gun I can only get nails in boxes of 3000, I think I will have stopped using a nail gun before I finish all the boxes of different size nails I will have needed. Unfortunately I can not find a Palm Nailer in Australia. I have contacted the big hardware stores, asked my local ones and nobody knows what I am asking fore. I have taken a picture with me to show them what I want still no luck. >From my research, it appears that they may only be available in the US and Canada. Before I consider purchasing one from the US I would like to know what are good and not so good brands. I have taken a look on the harbor Freight and Bostitch sites. I need quarter inch size fittings. Here the fittings I have are called Nita fittings. I am not sure about that spelling though. Finally if I do purchase from the US, what are good reliable people to buy from? If this topic has gone to long on the list please write directly to me. Thanks as always for any help. Max.
