This speeds up the job and allows you to use your free hand to hold the workpiece while the nailer does the hard stuff.<br /><br />Nailers can be efficiently powered by small portable compressors and can be easily moved around the job site.<br /><br />Nailers accurately drive the fastener in one powerful stroke, countersinking the nail at the same time.&nbsp; The small hole left behind is easily filled with wood filler or even paint.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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. <br /><br />Nailers can be divided into three categories: Special Purpose, Finish, and Combination Nailers.<br /><br />The framing nailer is used for building the basic structure of a house &ndash; the frame.&nbsp; So it has many heavy duty woodworking applications.<br /><br />It's a powerful, portable tool that saves time and effort by driving large nails for you.<br /><br />It can drive 2&rdquo; to 3.5'&rdquo; nails into the heavy lumber used for wall and roof construction.<br /><br />This model has a rear-loading magazine that holds 80 nails at one time.<br /><br />The magazine is angled so the you can toe-nail wall studs easily.<br /><br />The flooring nailer makes the repetitive task of floor nailing easy.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />This model can drive flooring staples, &ldquo;T&rdquo; or &ldquo;L&rdquo; shaped cleats. Different flooring manufacturers often require specific staples or cleats to keep the flooring warranty in effect.<br /><br />Your Mastercraft flooring nailer ensures that no matter who the flooring manufacturer is, you'll have the right fastener for the job.<br /><br />Roofing a house can be a demanding, uncomfortable job.

Applying trim and moulding is easy to do with one hand free.<br /><br />Brad nailers use small, 18 gauge nails that won't split soft wood trim.<br /><br />Finish nailers use 16 gauge nails and have more power for driving nails into hardwood trim or dense fibre board.<br /><br />An air powered stapler can make short work of jobs like fastening window screen or fabric.<br /><br />Staples from 5/8&rdquo; to 1-5/8&rdquo; can be used.<br /><br />Combination nailers are versatile tools that can drive several different types of fasteners.<br /><br />This combo driver can accommodate finishing nails, brads and staples.<br /><br />Use&nbsp; 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.<br /><br />Air powered nailers save time, reduce effort and assist you in completing a professional looking job.
