BDAZ XX Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I've been looking into maybe getting one and wanted to know if anyone has used one? I would use it for light indoor remodeling. For instance, I have a drop ceiling that I have to install this next week. It would be nice to not have to haul a compressor and hose around inorder to use a nail gun.

DaveK Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I have one. I used it when I bought my place to install moulding down below and up above. in the whole place. I bought 2 extra batteries. (Which I never used) It was great. Not heavy, easy to throw around, fast, and if I remember correctly.....battery took 4 hours to charge but lasted longer than the box of nails and the fuel cell. (1000). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverbird2 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 They are great for framing. I am not sure how you are going to use it to install a drop ceiling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbird Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I had one years ago, IMO it went through those fuel cells too quick with heavy use (sheeting a roof) but I think it'd be perfect for your application. This was a long time ago, too, so they may have improved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvking Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I have the Paslode framing nailer and it works great smaller jobs. Beats dragging out a compressor and hose. Probably not the best option for nailing off a whole house of wall or roof sheathing. Also, no bump fire. You have to compress the nose then pull the trigger, for it to fire.

MrBadExxample Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I have one. I used it when I bought my place to install moulding down below and up above. in the whole place.Really? You used a framing nailer to install trim (molding)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbird Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Also, no bump fire. You have to compress the nose then pull the trigger, for it to fire. You're right, I forgot about that. PITA in a lot of circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvking Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Also the nose piece is substantially harder to compress that a typical nailer because it's not just a safety device. It's actually charging the cylinder with fuel too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDAZ XX Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 I just got back from trying to buy one off craigslist. the lady paid to much for it new and is wanting to much for it now. Ebay has 20+ listings for under $175, she wouldn't budge off her asking price of 2fiddy. I think it should work fine for what I would use it for. I have a bunch of finish guns, compressors and lines. I am just tired of hauling all of it around and listening to the damn compressor running when I use a gun. Wanna sell yours Todd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvking Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Wanna sell yours Todd? Nope. It's even better using on from the chair. Air hoses + WC = PITA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KA Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 So if I defeat the safety and put it behind the car seat. What's the velocity, range, rate of fire and nail weight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
