Always hammered my ply by hand, but wish to progress to a nailer as I'm starting to do jobs with 15-20 sheets at a time (mostly 9mm but sometimes 6mm). Are all of these power nailers compressor fed, and do you need a separate compressor, or are some of them one unit? Recommendations please. Will use once or twice a month.
Yes you need a compressor and the nailer/stapler comes separately. Mario on here would be able to sort you out a full kit I’m sure Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
What litre capacity or power output compressor is needed for a coil nailer on speedy and continuous use for an hour or so? They range from about 6 litre to 200 litre. Sorry for my lack of knowledge on the subject.
We use 3 different types from 1.5hp up. All different size tanks, and all run a single nailer no problem. If your doing domestic, I would suggest a silent running one, as a standard compressor is pretty noisy. You can buy a kit, and the guns can be temperamental, so if you have a local pneumatic shop it may be worth asking them whats available, and if they can repair/service them on site
Don't buy a small compressor or a cheap one The motors burn out with continuous use I've had 3 blow up over the years. Also look after the nail gun they need cleaned regularly and a couple of drops of compressor oil in them every use or an inline oiler
