Oh okay Shane. I guess I was a little confused about that. The reason for the confusion is that when I went to Harbor Freight, They showed me a small palm nailer for about 30 dollars an then a larger one for 40 dollars. They didn't show me anything that included the kit with the adaptors. Now that I have the Item number from you, I'll call then and see if they have that in stock.
Thanks again for the info.

So you are paying $30 for the extra attachments.

It looks like if I buy the palm nailer from Harbor Freight for 40 dollars and then they charge me 69 dollars for a kit just to be able to use it, then I'm the one who is getting nailed. That info makes me feel like I'll never go to Harbor Freight again, if that's the way they do business.

What you want is the air hand nailer kit, item number 46433-ZZZ. It should have a small plastic case with the nailer, tips, and instructions inside. What you are likely looking at is the palm nailer, which is just the nailer. The kit costs about $69, the nailer by itself costs less.

Are you saying there is a separate kit for the adaptors or is this kit part of the purchase of the nailer at Harbor Freight?

Also, you will get a hammer attachment. Switching between attachments is simple. Just don't lose the spring. Take the tip off using the tools provided in the kit. Slide the tip you want into the jacket you just removed, then put it back on and you are good to go. If you get the kit, you will see what I'm talking about.

I looked at a pneumatic palm nailer at Harbor Freight yesterday. It was 40 dollars and took up to a 16 D Nail. What I don't quite understand is that the hole in the end , where you place the head end of the nail, is pretty large, about 5 sixteenth of an inch or more. How would one hold a small finishing nail straight to nail it in straight with such a large diameter tube to place the nail into? Any one know how that works?

There is a Mastercraft electric model available on sale at Canadian Tire this week for $79. It is a 12 volt model. As for which is better, as usual it depends on use and need and similar things. Maybe the best is a pneumatic one from Porter Cable, it seems to allow for the widest range of nail sizes up to 6 and a half inches.I don't remember what they charge for it but I think a bit over 200 bucks. I think it is the one I would buy if I expect to do a lot of work. The disadvantage is dragging around all that hose. For a few dozen nails or a one off deck or fence requiring a couple of hundred nails I think the electric would sufficient for most people. a little heavier but more easily portable and no hose pulling you back or under your feet and so on. Bear in mind that I don't own one, I still get some perverse pleasure from swinging a hammer except of course those really close quarters situations where you don't have room. If ever I do any significant amount of framing again I'll buy a nail gun and shoot now that they are coming down in price. ----- Original Message ----- From: Tom Hodges To: [email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> Sent: Saturday, October 24, 2009 10:47 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Palm Nailers Can anyone tell me if Palm Nailers are available in both electric and pneumatic?
