AIR NAILERS

[MFWD]

Hello,
I have a Senco air nailer that will shoot a full head nail. There are that kind and then there are nailers that shoot a clipped head nail....they are not supposed to hold as good. I think I also remember reading somewhere about certain building codes that require the nails in the construction be full headed nails. Just something to check out and think about !!!!!

Thank you sir, not trying to start a riot in my own thread, but code is not something I dont have to worry about much here,but I think I would rather have them headed,makes good sense. LUTT

Just remember to add 4-6 drops of they're oil faithfully upon using an you're set to go .

Yup a lot of building code inspectors wont allow clipped head nails anymore.

Never heard that one. My BIL is in the trades and never had a issue. I can se some special applications needing full heads but the clip heads are all that most use around here.

Heres one I use :3-1/2 in. Round Head Framing Nailer-R350RHD at The Home Depot

Don't use it daily for work just my own personal projects. Been real satisfied with its performance. Through the years I've gotten good results with Rigid stuff. I would buy it again if looking. My other choices would be Hitachi/Senco.

I have a Porter Cable framing nailer and Bostich finish nailer. They don't see regular use, but always work fine. A finish nailer for interior wood work is just an awesome tool to have. The Bostich finish nailer does not take oil, so watch for differences on that.
