Pneumatic nail gun in use. A nail gun, nailgun or nailer is a form of hammer used to drive nails into wood or other materials. It is usually driven by compressed air (), electromagnetism, highly flammable gases such as butane or propane, or, for powder-actuated tools, a small explosive charge.
Coil nail – nails designed for use in a pneumatic nail gun assembled in coils; Common nail – smooth shank, wire nail with a heavy, flat head. The typical nail for framing; Convex head (nipple head, springhead) roofing nail – an umbrella shaped head with a rubber gasket for fastening metal roofing, usually with a ring shank; Copper nail ...
A Paslode nail gun. Paslode Impulse is a trademarked name for a cordless nail gun manufactured by Paslode.Cordless nail guns do not need an air compressor.Instead, they use what Paslode calls a "fuel cell", but is actually a very small two stroke engine which fires one ignition stroke for each nail driven, and reloads itself from a small metal can filled with pressurized flammable gas (a ...
Brad Nailer. Brad nailers fire thinner 18-gauge nails. The heads of these very thin fasteners conceal easily with just a tiny dot of filler. However, the longer the nail, and the tougher the ...
Drilling a blast hole with a pneumatic drill (jackhammer). A pneumatic tool, air tool, air-powered tool or pneumatic-powered tool is a type of power tool, driven by compressed air supplied by an air compressor. Pneumatic tools can also be driven by compressed carbon dioxide (CO 2) stored in small cylinders allowing for portability. [1]
Stanley Bostitch, previously and more commonly known as simply Bostitch, is an American company that specializes in the design and manufacture of fastening tools (such as staplers, staple guns, nailers, riveters, and glue guns) and fasteners (such as nails, screws, and staples).
As with their air-actuated cousins, powder-actuated guns have a muzzle safety interlock. If the muzzle is not pressed against a surface with sufficient force, the firing pin is blocked and cannot reach the load to fire it. This helps ensure that the gun does not discharge in an unsafe manner, causing the nail to become an unrestrained projectile.
The action, or the mechanism by which subsequent rounds are automatically reloaded, must also be powered by the air pressure; that is not a major drawback as pneumatic tools such as the nail gun proves as long as you carry an air tank and compressor around with you. The weapon has to supply or be supplied with a source of very high pressure gas.
