Hammers & Nailers, Fastenings & Fixings Which Nailer to choose?
With a wide range of Nailers to choose from where do you start? The first step is to ask yourself what kind of work you want to do with the nailer. There are nailers to suit working with light materials to those more suited for heavy-duty projects. A framing nailer for instance can sink three-inch nails into dense wood with relatively little effort from you. There are a number of different ways nail guns can be powered. So, depending on what type of nail gun you want, you may need to decide what kind of “operating system” to get. These range from spring nailers to pneumatic and gas powered nailers. Safety is an important consideration. Choose a nailer that is easy to handle and has clear and understandable safety instructions. Look for features that will prevent you from shooting nails accidentally. Get the lightest nailer that will do the job – if it is too heavy you will not be able to use it safely. You may need to use the nailer for a long time so choose one that is comfortable to hold and easy to manoeuver. It is also important to wear safety clothing – goggles, earplugs and gloves are recommended when operating these tools.
On the pages of this magazine and in past editions you will find the information you need to make an informed choice when choosing a nailer. Visit the Tool Review Page at
