Nail Guns

Nail guns or a nailer is a power tool that used to drive nails into different types of objects and materials.  Quite intimidating at first however once you have one you won't be able to go without.

If you want to construct a bookcase or build a house a nailer is the way to go - efficient, effective and becoming cheaper and more competitive by the day.

The main advantage is of course efficiency - which will save you time, money and sweat.

You can fire as fast as you can load up your position and pull the trigger.  This is why nail guns in most circumstances have replaced hammers in the building industry.  Money is time in construction so every nail counts and every minute saved can be reinvested into other areas. 

Due to high competition between suppliers and new technology nail guns are very well priced and there is a tool out there for everyone.  Whether you need a full powered powder-actuated gun or a small compact model for around the home there is a gun for every situation and every budget.

And best of all - you're sweat and blood, the ease of driving the nail compared to using a hammer is no comparison.  Taking milliseconds with no struggle, misses or bent nails.

They are driven by compressed air, electromagnetism or highly flammable gas such as propane or butane.  And in some cases a small explosive charge for powder-actuated tools.

There are of course hazards involved with a power tool designed to propel nails at high force however almost all accidents that occur are from either incorrect tool use, incorrect positioning of the body or inappropriate safety-wear.

There are all different types of nailers available, brad nailers, gas, coil, framing guns, staplers and the odd concrete gun - in all major and minor brands they're available so look around for the one best suited to what you want to use it for.

So if you're installing wooden floors, a garage, a staircase or just hanging some pictures nail guns can be great tools to have laying around the house.. Just as long as you keep it out of your kids reach!
