<p>From building a house to fastening trim, there's an air powered nailer for just about every type of job.<br /><br />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.<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. 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 – the frame. 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” to 3.5'” 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, “T” or “L” 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. A coil roofing nailer can help you do this job quickly.<br /><br />This model has a magazine that holds coils of up to 120 roofing nails.<br /><br />3/4” nails for new roofing as well as 1 ½' inch nails for over-shingling existing roofing can be used.<br /><br />For repetitive tasks like shingling, the roofing nailer saves time and effort.<br /><br />Finish, staple and brad nailers are used for lighter duty fastening jobs. 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” to 1-5/8” 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 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.
