any one familiar with the C-3 line of Craftsman tool? I have purchased the C-3 Ultimate set for a very good price however I have the Stapler/Nailer and can't figure out how to use it as a Nailer, could someone please help?
it accepts the staples but their are NO directions for the 1-1/2" nails.

You can't be the only TBN'er to have bought this?

I have a hammer you can borrow until you get an answer

I don't even know what a C-3 line of Craftsman tools is.

The nails come in strips. You feed them on one side of the nailer. Like staples but only on one side.

C-3 is the 19.2 volt line of cordless tools that have been around for many years.

I read the instructions in sears and noticed they didn't include the nails. After going to the craftsman site and reading the reveiws Ifound my question reoccuring so I posted it here where I recieve all the answers to my needs.

I have the C3 tools- but not the stapler/nailer yet. I love it due to fact it cheaper to buy this set and still have batteries to exchange between tools. With 4 batteries, its barely enough to keep me going all day. 2 doesnt cut it. The recip, air compressor , drill (2 speed one is great, the single speed smoked) little circular saw for little jobs. I saw the stapler and not sure If I want to get it or not.

The Stapler Nailer is great I repaired my trim around the Garage last night. Now I'm looking for something else to fix. This set is wonderful it came with a nice tool box and you know all this stuff doesn't fit even with 2 shelves in the rolling tool case. I will build some shelves in a few weeks.

With the 17 piece set: They are some wonderful tools and the most complete around the house group you could possibly ask for. The only thing I found displeasing was that the, router would extend to the max no matter what you do, so I tighten the band screw and now it's great. I did find a small CHAIN-SAW that will complete line up. This is a wonderful set that will be around a long time.

I highly reccommend this for the home do it yourself folks.
HooAh!
