A brad
nailer can be a great way to improve
your efficiency if you are planning any framing,
assembly, or home addition projects. Brad nailers
are powered either by electricity or air, and
there are many different models to choose from.
What each of these nailers has in common is the
ability to drive various sizes and styles of
nail, saving you time and energy. If you already
have a compressor, a pneumatic nailer may be
right for you; if not, you may wish to choose
an electric brad nailer.
Electric brad nailer
The electric brad nailer is one of the single
best new tools on the market today because it
frees the user from the hassle of air hoses and
having to maintain a compressor. This is especially
great for do it yourselfers who may want the
convenience of a nailer without having to stretch
their tool budgets to afford a compressor. While
electric nailers typically do not have the same
power as pneumatic nailers, they do offer convenient
nailing for those who want to work with smaller
brad nails (usually under one inch long).
The Bostitch brad nailer
The Stanley
Bostitch brad nailer is an excellent
choice if you are looking for an electric
brad nailer and stapler. The Bostitch TRE500 features
dual power capability so you can use it virtually
anywhere you can take your vehicle, and it shoots
both staples and nails. It has a rugged all steel
channel to withstand even the toughest treatment,
as well as a contoured handle that makes it comfortable
to use even for long periods of time.
A DeWalt brad nailer for those with a compressor
If you already have a compressor, a DeWalt brad
nailer can expand your nailing capabilities.
Working at pressures between 70 and 120 psi the
D51238 brad nailer side loads up to 110 nails
per magazine. These nails can range in size from
5/8 inch up to two inches. This model also features
a rubber mar-free head to keep your projects
looking great, and a trigger lock to make sure
kids (or clumsy adults) do not accidentally fire
nails. If you have a compressor set already,
DeWalt makes a tough and versatile brad nailer.
