What to consider when buying a Nailer

When you need to drive a nail, you automatically reach for a hammer. That’s of course the right thing to do for big nails. To fix a number of small nails, a power nailer or nail gun is a good tool because it does the job quickly, correctly and with less maintenance. Suntech MEDIUM DUTY NAILER and Suntech HEAVY DUTY NAILER can be considered as viable options for nailers. Here are the different types of nailers.

Pneumatic nailers – Such type of nailers are powered using air pressure from a compressor, to cock and release the hammer. These powerful and low cost nailers are usually made use of on construction sites.

Palm-impact nailer – Such type of nailer is simple, handy and looks like a closed funnel that fits in your palm. This nailer prevents the need for loading in a coil or strip of nails. All you should do is simply load one nail by attaching it to a magnetic nail guide and with a simple push using your finger the nail is powered in. Palm-impact nailers are pneumatically powered using an air compressor. This type of nailer is lightweight, cheap, quite versatile but not as powerful as the pneumatic nail gun.

Cordless nailers – Such nailers use flammable gas from a disposable canister and inject it into a combustion chamber located above the piston to drive nails. Such nailers alleviate the need of cords or hoses, as the tool and power source are self-contained. They are the right choice for lower volume nailing, jobs in tight spaces or jobs with limited setup time.

Electromagnetic nailer – Such a type of nailer uses electricity and magnetic force to cock the hammer. Cordless electromagnetic nail guns are battery operated. This type is convenient but not as powerful as the pneumatic or combustion nail guns.

Spring nailer – Such a type of electricity-operated nailer uses a spring to cock the hammer and is simple in structure compared to the other nailers.
