It is my "most borrowed" tool. I am no craftsman, but I do like to save the labor Sun, 03 Jan 2010 06:08:09 GMT dave_mucha http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Welding_Projects/message/8657 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Welding_Projects/message/8657 I've used a Senco. nice unit. small tip to get into small places. I certainly understand that rough parts will not make the tool repeatable. that is why Sun, 03 Jan 2010 03:38:07 GMT Gregory Leblanc http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Welding_Projects/message/8656 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Welding_Projects/message/8656 ... Agreed! $300 is a lot for any sort of nailer. ... I don't own this nailer either, but I've owned several others from HF. I've given up on buying any Sun, 03 Jan 2010 02:09:35 GMT Mike Payson http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Welding_Projects/message/8655 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Welding_Projects/message/8655 I hope the price is way up! If $300 is "not much more" that you pay for a rental, you are renting in the wrong place! While I'm sure the Grex is a fine tool, Sat, 02 Jan 2010 21:21:48 GMT Scott Solar http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Welding_Projects/message/8654 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Welding_Projects/message/8654 For not much more than the price of a rental I bought a Grex 23 gauge pin nailer. The pins are so thin they need no coverup, even on stained hardwoods like Sat, 02 Jan 2010 20:06:56 GMT Gregory Leblanc http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Welding_Projects/message/8653 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Welding_Projects/message/8653 ... For a one time job, I'd probably rent something. An 18 gauge nailer will have the smallest nails, and thus the least chance of splitting in real wood.

For pine, a nailer/stapler for painted and a finish brad nailer for stained.

And on that note, have you ever seen a mommy of 2 or 3? who still had perky firm ones like that? What kind of plastic did that get welded with?
