Here we are again with yet another blog overflowing with valuable stapling & nailing information. The topic of conversation this time is the highly effective Corrugated Fastener(s). Sometimes, confusion can arise with concern to when and where these tools are used - but don't worry, that's why we're here and no question is ever a silly question.
What nail is best for beading? What nail is best for glazing? What nail is best for framing?
These are all questions we get on a regular basis, and today I'm going to offer just one solution for ALL of the above! So, without further ado, let's examine 23 gauge headless pins...
Take a look at the unveiling process of the Fencing Stapler from Senco. Its that time of the year, when fence fixing begins.
We only launched this product as part of our range recently and so far so good. We like it as you can see below and customers do too. Winner Winner!
What is a Coil Nail Gun Used for? many of our customer ask us this. So without further ado here is the final in our Nail Gun Poster series.
So far we have covered the 15,16 and 18 Gauge Tools, 21G and 23 Gauge Pinners, Strip Nailers along with Corrugated Fasteners. See them here in our Blogs. NB if you prefer PDF versions, then drop us a note with a request.
Adding to our series of useful tool posters. This week we introduce the 21 Gauge Pinners as a source of useful information for you to save and use when the time comes to purchase a new Pin Gun.
So far we have covered the 15, 16 and 18 Gauge Nail Guns and hopefully presented sufficient information to make clear the differences between them, along with their common uses.
Hang fire staple gun users, as we will be getting to those. Meanwhile keep this poster along with your others in favourites, because you never know when you may need some guidance, in this very muddling world of Stapling and Nailing
Continuing with our Tool Poster's this week we examine the 18 Gauge Nailer, Some would argue the most flexible of tools
Following on from our previous Infographic's on the 15 Gauge and 16 Gauge Nailers,
18 G Air Nailer's are often referred to as Brad Nailers or Finish Nailers. They operate a finer head than the 15 and 16 G Nail Guns.
Following the previous poster on the 15 Gauge Angled Finish Nailer, here we go with the 16 Gauge Nail Gun.
In the case that you need to remind yourself of this tools flexibility, it is ideal for applications including window frames, beading, flooring, furniture manufacturing to attaching insulation and lining.
Last week's poster/infographic also explained simply the difference between a 15 Gauge Nailer and a 16 Gauge Finish Nailer.
Over the next few weeks you will be receiving one by one a series of posters put together to simply identify some of the differing Nail and Staple Guns and what they are used for.
So save this and the forthcoming posters to your favourites folder. Then next time you need a tool, some staples or nails you can be sure to know you order the correct one for the job in hand!
A question we often get asked is:
What is the difference between 15 Gauge DA Brad Finish Nails and 16 Gauge Finish Nails?
Hello there
Unsure what the weather was like for you this week, but here at Stapling and Nailing City (Stoke on Trent!) it was glorious sunshine for most of it.
Prepare your self for a TOOL FEST!
This week in view of the many questions we get asked about the all and ever confusing world of Coil Nailers, Strip Nailers, Brad Guns, Finish Nailers and Headless Pinners. Take a look at this video, I created it, because I think it should help guide you through the fog ! Let us know what you think.
Signs of spring in the air Hope you had a great week. Ours was extremely hectic here at My Tool Kit Towers. All those outdoor workers, are back in their droves. Caravan and Boat repairers and manufacturers too. So....
With those outdoor Nailing jobs getting busy at the moment. I thought I would put together a very short video. You can now take a look at our most popular Brad Nailers and Finish Nailers. May help when it comes to choosing the correct one.
The Brands shown and seem to be in demand are from the Stanley Bostitch and Tacwise range:
Thought I would try and help clear up a commonly questioned area. More over it is something people often (understandingly) get confused with. That is the 2 Trigger Types found on Staple Guns and Nail Guns. Contact Triggers and Sequential Triggers.
As this is a potential safety issue, I thought it would be a sound plan to outline the differences in an easy to follow diagram. You can print off, save or/and share.
I'm frequently asked what nail gun would I recommend for the manufacture of fence panels, sheds and garden buildings. Well, I'm going to try and script the sort of advise I'd give to our customers and stick to one brand and on this occasion I'll be with our partners at Tacwise.
The nailers described are air operated so you will require an air compressor and the type of nailer used are coil nailers – simply speaking the nails are formed in a coil in the magazine of the tool as below – simples eh!
