From building a house to fastening trim, there's an air powered nailer for just about every type of job.

They help you work efficiently.  A magazine holds the nails for you. This speeds up the job and allows you to use your free hand to hold the workpiece while the nailer does the hard stuff.

Nailers can be efficiently powered by small portable compressors and can be easily moved around the job site.

Nailers accurately drive the fastener in one powerful stroke, countersinking the nail at the same time.  The small hole left behind is easily filled with wood filler or even paint.

All nailers have a safety bumper that protects the wood surface and must be pressed down before the nailer will deliver the nail. This prevents accidental firing.

On most nailers, you can select sequential or contact firing. In sequential mode, one nail is fired every time the trigger is pulled. In contact mode a nail is fired when the safety bumper touches the wood.

Nailers can be divided into three categories: Special Purpose, Finish, and Combination Nailers.

The framing nailer is used for building the basic structure of a house – the frame.  So it has many heavy duty woodworking applications.

It's a powerful, portable tool that saves time and effort by driving large nails for you.

It can drive 2” to 3.5'” nails into the heavy lumber used for wall and roof construction.

This model has a rear-loading magazine that holds 80 nails at one time.

The magazine is angled so the you can toe-nail wall studs easily.

The flooring nailer makes the repetitive task of floor nailing easy.

When the nailer is struck by the supplied mallet, the flooring is cinched up tight and a nail or staple is fired at exactly the right angle.

This model can drive flooring staples, “T” or “L” shaped cleats. Different flooring manufacturers often require specific staples or cleats to keep the flooring warranty in effect.

Your Mastercraft flooring nailer ensures that no matter who the flooring manufacturer is, you'll have the right fastener for the job.

Roofing a house can be a demanding, uncomfortable job. A coil roofing nailer can help you do this job quickly.

This model has a magazine that holds coils of up to 120 roofing nails.

3/4” nails for new roofing as well as 1 ½' inch nails for over-shingling existing roofing can be used.

For repetitive tasks like shingling, the roofing nailer saves time and effort.

Finish, staple and brad nailers are  used for lighter duty fastening jobs. Applying trim and moulding is easy to do with one hand free.

Brad nailers use small, 18 gauge nails that won't split soft wood trim.

Finish nailers use 16 gauge nails and have more power for driving nails into hardwood trim or dense fibre board.

An air powered stapler can make short work of jobs like fastening window screen or fabric.

Staples from 5/8” to 1-5/8” can be used.

Combination nailers are versatile tools that can drive several different types of fasteners.

This combo driver can accommodate finishing nails, brads and staples.

Use  only one type and length of fastener in the magazine at one time; to avoid jamming of the tool ensure the fastener is loaded correctly into the correct channel of the magazine.
