Ken's Deputy 4,462 Posted July 23, 2022 Report Share Posted July 23, 2022 The septics are all getting a Porter Cable combo. Stapler, 18 and 12 Gauge guns and compressor. About $250.00!!! Fukking good luck with That sort of deal, here!!! Just an 18 Brad and suitable, plug in, compressor will do me. Just for knocking up the odd box. Purely DIY level. Doesn't have to be a combo set, of course. Good gun and / or good compressor? Great! Yeah! Please: No Batteries. Can we manage that? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken's Deputy 4,462 Posted July 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2022 Sweet work on the gun, Chid! That certainly cut straight through the shit for me! Looks ideal! Unless anyone comes along Soon, with a much better suggestion? I'll have that one Compressor, sadly ....? Still looking for a better reviewed one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waltjnr 7,912 Posted July 23, 2022 Report Share Posted July 23, 2022 Ken ,why not batts ? Surely a compressor is only something else that could go wrong ?? Only saying as I fancy a nail gun 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken's Deputy 4,462 Posted July 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2022 Just bought the Makita! Eyeballing nails as ye post came in Why not batt's? Personal experience, mate. Simply never had any luck with the things. Grown to hate them. Plug in guns seem to be vanishingly rare. Couple I Think I found seemed to lack Oomph? Dunno. For my limited purposes? A little compressor and a hose will be fine. Just waiting for the word on a comp', now. Ryobi do a very popular one. But. it takes a fukking battery?! Stanley seem to have quite a range .....

Ken's Deputy 4,462 Posted July 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2022 I'm trawling through Amazon, Chid. I know absolutely Nothing about these things. So, my biggest fear is receiving both, only to find I now need an 'adaptor' I'm also paying a Lot of attention to where reviewers say they inflate tiers / spray a little paint / blow dust etc. I want to blast in 50mm brads! I'd rather pay more than be disappointed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scotty12 3,644 Posted July 23, 2022 Report Share Posted July 23, 2022 I bought that titan compressor as a quick fix as my petrol one blew up suprised with it to be fair mate it will do you for what you need I’ve been using it for fencing until my other one arrives and it has been abused and still going strong Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken's Deputy 4,462 Posted July 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2022 Like so many good, basic little shed tools, mate, they seem fine. I've actually by passed Stanley to settle on this one. It takes a 6.5mm Euro coupling, by the way. Trawling through the internet half the fukking night has got me that much. Now, I need to know if the gun wants Euro or 1/4" BSP Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squirrel_Basher 17,102 Posted July 24, 2022 Report Share Posted July 24, 2022 The air nail guns only ever second fix mate .To my knowledge they won’t drive bigger than 40mm wire nails .First fix battery guns do 90mm ring nails .Horses for courses but the noise of compressors does my head in . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
