The battery guns just won't take the stick that the pneumatic guns will, we've guns that fire up to 6 inch nails. Edited July 24, 2022 by dogmandont 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken's Deputy 4,462 Posted July 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2022 Right, lads; Typical THL thread then. Ask the price of a jar of jam and end up reading a discussion of Tibetan politics. Anyway, I might have mentioned, elsewhere, I was fighting a chemical imbalance? Sorted. Thinking like Socrates now! I've bought the Makita (Fukk, Yeah!!! ) Now, I want the Hyundai comp. My only question is: The gun ~ as far as I can make out? Has a 1/4" BSP male fitting? The comp offers a 6.5mm Euro. What hose / connector(s) would I need, please? Amazon link would be great, obviously! I need to buy one for when the gun and comp arrive Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Im yet to see a battery second fix nail gun that can take the stick of a pneumatic gun, no doubt they're some tool for site work but in a factory environment where you could be firing 5 or 6 thousand nails a day every day they just can't hack it, we tried paslode, dewalt and milwaukee and although they have their uses theyre not worth a wank for heavy use.

Any half decent builders supplies will have all the fittings you need Ken. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken's Deputy 4,462 Posted July 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2022 Cheers, Don! I rang my local, the other day. 'Got any nail guns?' No. Rung 'em back later: 'Got any compressors?' No. I did think I could ring them about couplings ..... But ... I try So hard to shop locally. But, when they just keep sucking their teeth and shaking their fukking heads. I'm throwing £100's at Amazon, all the fukking time here! About to buy a £100 filter, for my frog I'd much rather keep the lad, in town, in a job. But ... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A basic set like that should have everything you need for compressor, hose and gun Ken. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No battery or mains will take the stick of pneumatic, I know that. Clarke pneumatic drills outlived ryobi and makita but for home/site or anything non production then pneumatic isn't necessary imo. Alot will not give the pneumatic the care/maintenance required 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken's Deputy 4,462 Posted July 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2022 Just heard back from a mate of mine. I emailed him, last night. Told him what I was getting and asked about the connectors? Just got back to me: He has the very same gun!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
