If it is just for the 1 job, save money past going to Harbor Freight and get you a nail gun there. They are good for the Habitation Owner blazon of work, not for the professional. Yous can get a compressor for about $40.00 and a gun for effectually $xxx to $90 depending on type. I recommend a stapler blazon that will practise 1 ane/2" staples.

Hi Mereidth, I bought a Dewalt from our local pawn shop for $50! It had the volume, case in great shape, and we tried it out in that location before purchase. It's been perfection since! Nails come in a corking variety of sizes besides!

Ive been using an electric nail/brad gun for 5 years. It is still going strong and paid about 30 for it. ACE seems to have the best ones. You exercise need to put some push button on the top of gun, but information technology is made this style and you don't need strength to do it. Volition piece of work fine on the forest used for pallets. I also employ it for door trim, base of operations boards, etc.. Maple and oak would be a hit or miss due to the hardness of the wood. Love that wall.

I have a Porter Cable 16 estimate, and a Harbor Freight eighteen judge.... both work very well.... my compressor is 150 psi.

I bought a set of iii guns, Cambell-Hausfeld, has the 16\viii framer, a t-nailer, and bradnailer, for 200.00 at Lowes, 8yrs agone... All are still going strong. Y'all might as well think about getting thin bore RUBBER air hose too. Less fighting with airhose. In one case you get used to the guns, and know your ain capabilities, y'all might find you love using them.. I taught my stepdaughter how to safely use them, now she even does trim, framing, floor, etc.. Lol.. ( I am a retired remodeler) Ever recollect to driblet a few drops of 3n1 oil down the airtube, and they will last a long fourth dimension..

Rigid from Home Depot. It is what my husband used when making a wood rack from pallets.

The smallest compressors at HF won't supply enough air to run a nail gun at whatsoever speed, maybe ane boom every 30 seconds. Pay more than $60 and get a picayune bigger one. Look at the nails in stock there. eighteen approximate gun is OK for your project if they have 2" length in stock. v,000 sounds like a lot of nails but you'll use them up. Find a 20% off coupon in any magazine and you're set.

I am a retired builder, "mostly tired: and all the higher up are proficient. I would go with the three that ruslzplace suggested of any philharmonic. you lot can find at lowe'south or abode depot. they besides make a brad nailer that you can utilize staples besides.

@Ray Phillips yep, my brad nailer will shoot upward to 2" staples, but working with pallets, near are seasoned oak, I would suggest using the xvi\viii gun, and #eight ring shank nails. I use them on overlay for floors all the time, and they concur great... Oh, and the reason vs staples is with the harder material, staples tin bend back, and if your hand on the lath is too close... Yes, been there.. Ouch.. Lol.. R

Your wall is beautiful! It reminds me of the song "coat of many colors."

I don't intendance much for T nails simply all cease nails for air guns are chisel bespeak and will follow the grain in most forest so sentry your fingers and eyes and nail cross grain as much as you tin !

I THINK FOR WHAT You lot ARE TRYING TO DO A GOOD STAPLE GUN WOULD Piece of work JUST FINE . IT HOLDS BETTER , BUT DOSE LEAVE A Fiddling More NAIL HOLE.

An "angle finish nailer" puts a dainty stop. It's a larger gun though. The thickness of wood that the nails will go into has an impact on your pick as well. Talk to the reps at the shop. Often they are retired carpenters with adept input.

Ryobi is the make we buy virtually often.

My friend, a professional carpenter his whole life, said he'd never buy another Ryobi. Only slightly improve than Harbor Freight quality.

A few years I bought three Porter Cablevision brad nailers. I got a sixteen and xviii guess plus a stapler. They might take come up as a set. The merely thing I've ever had a problem with was when I loaded the wrong size of brads into the guns (operator error). Several lengths of brads are available for all of them. I as well purchased a minor air compressor and learned to adjust it so the nailers sink the brads properly. I read the manuals and experimented on scrap until I felt comfortable. I use them all the time and the air compressor also tin run a couple of sanders I take and can air up a low tire when needed. Skilful investment.

If you demand a blast gun but for this task, it might be wise to await for a inexpensive second paw brad nailer on Craig'due south list or any site like that. If you lot're going to employ it frequently, I would suggest Porter Cable - they produce good nail guns at reasonable prices. Marc world wide web.thediyhubby.com

A 16 estimate brad nailer should work fine. Home Depot has a couple of inexpensive nailers, Wen is ane of them, that are well regarded. Most can handle brads up to ii" in length. These are pneumatic nailers then you'll demand a compressor too.

What is a good nail gun to reconstruct pallet skits and what size nails and estimate do I need for the gun?
