Grex work perfectly in my Hitachi pneumatic pin nailer, but they are too weakly joined to handle the thump from a cordless unit.

A nail gun is a type of power tool that drives nails into wood or other materials with high velocity and precision. Not to be overly cryptic, but I’m afraid I won’t mention or promote in any way the nailer or the company that sold it as - while the nailer is perfectly decent - the two are intertwined and the company are a bunch of monkeys and not to be trusted, in my experience. i was doing a loft conversion job at the time so the gun was used side by side with my makita first fix gun.

because they are short-lived and flaky (or at least Paslode, BeA and Bostitch ones seemed to be in the past). The internals are quite similar in some ways to those found in the 1st generation 2nd fix cordless nailers pioneered by deWalt in that you have a flywheel powered by a motor (in this case a 2-speed brushless motor) which drives the driving pin. The battery charger performance at circa 90 minutes for a full 5Ah charge is hardly stellar when compared to the charge speed on my Makita 18 volt LXT kit (circa 45 minutes for a 5Ah battery), but you can upgrade to a faster charger and in any case I seriously doubt that anyone could actually flatten a 5Ah battery in less than 4 hours – in general I have been getting a full day, or almost, out of a single 5Ah battery. I only got one jam which I sorted out in seconds and it punched the nails right in from the word go. I understand it might still be more than you want to spend, but it might help to know you're paying for more than just losing the wire, it's an all-round nicer thing to use.

The mechanism might be similar to and scaled up from the original second fix guns, but maintenance is considerably improved.

Nail guns are available in different types and ranges, including pneumatic, cordless, electric and brad nailer. One of the advantages of using a nail gun is that it saves time and effort compared to using manual tools. I know that the last 2 are out (23g nail gun in the USA not UK) or on the brink of being out (cordless belt sander).I've therefore wanted a battery-only 1st fix nailer from a main stream power tool manufacturer with Li-Ion batteries which could be interchanged with my main stream cordless tools for years – in fact ever since I heard that deWalt were working on one back around 2005 or 2006. and the case is certainly smaller than the cases of either of those tools, a plus if space in the van is limited.
