Spear & Jackson 9180 Nail Driver, Blue, 2.5 mm , Black

Product Information

The nail gun was designed by Morris Pynoos, a civil engineer by training, for his work on Howard Hughes' Hughes H-4 Hercules (known as the Spruce Goose). I'm satisfied with the construction of the tool, the barrel and the bit inside that does the pushing are both metal, the handle is plastic but feels solid and well attached. Another type of fastening commonly found in construction is the strap fastening which is roughly analogous to the large head clout nail. The driver bar features a replaceable magnetic tip that picks up and holds loose nails without having to stoop down or bend over. Some strip nailers use a clipped head so the nails can be closer together, which allows less frequent reloading.

Observe any deviating country-specific electrical installation standards and regulations and seek advice from a local electrician. A pin nailer is a type of nail gun that drives simple pin-like fasteners as substitutes for finish nails. All kinds of nail guns can be dangerous, so safety precautions similar to those for a firearm are usually recommended for their use. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.It is usually driven by compressed air ( pneumatic), electromagnetism, highly flammable gases such as butane or propane, or, for powder-actuated tools, a small explosive charge. In one type of electric nail gun, a rotating electric motor gradually compresses a powerful spring and suddenly releases it.

It does the job ok, but it is NOT magnetic, which would have made it much easier to use, hence 3 stars.

Industrial nailers designed for use against steel or concrete may have a self-loading action for the explosive caps, but most need nails to be loaded by hand. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. While I often use pins and pegs for fastening in modeling, they are almost exclusively placed in pre-drilled holes and used as pegs to secure one part to another, concealing the peg, rather than driving a nail in with the head left exposed.

They differ from conventional nailers in that the point of the fastening is not sheathed so it can be exactly positioned before firing the nail gun.

In September 2011 The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) issued a nail gun safety guide that details practical steps to prevent injuries including use of tools with sequential triggers, training prior to use, and use of appropriate protective equipment such as eye protection. The MARSHALLTOWN Magnetic Nail Driver is essential when using short brad nails to install carpet tack strip or when using framing and finishing tools.

The most common firing mechanism is the dual-action contact-trip trigger, which requires that the manual trigger and nose contact element both be depressed for a nail to be discharged. Ideal for starting and driving nails into concrete, this tool reduces the risk of harming the user or surrounding, finished areas. They can also work as temporary fasteners for pieces with irregular shapes that are impossible to hold down with a clamp securely.
