Nail Guns Battery Powered

[kannot]

Im in the Uk and  will be buying an  battery powered  nail gun that uses 16g size nails, Ive seen 18g size nails available in Thailand but does anyone know if the 16g size is available easily also?

Maybe "Sometime woodworker" may know???

Thanks Ill either  have to get the 18g  gun or  bring plentiful, supply of 16g in all sizes 19-65mm.............would think "somewhere" theyre  available?

Lazada show 18g only

[kannot]

I see some of the air  powered  nailers can use nails up to 3mm head so  bigger  MUST be available somewhere? 16g are 1.6mm

Nails here are not sold in gages but having just measured the T size they measure 1.6mm and they come in wood or concrete use versions.

 

This website agrees

 

Probably the F size is 18G and S maybe 23 gage

Excellent  s.w.w to the rescue, Thanks, I also found these which state 1.6mm width  http://www.jumboa.co.th/?page_id=594 

Also found a brand  name now "HI-UP" the same as  you see in Thai watsadu  but  smaller  size (18gauge) are  called  HI-TOP made by the same company which I think is  hidden under the T50 nails you show

Also this brand  and this one with the size at 1.63mm which should be fine

Why not simply buy the nailer in Thailand? No issue with consumables then.

 

We have an air-nailer (already had a compressor) very handy for knocking up shuttering and the like.

They aren't expensive, I've got 5, 3 different sizes of nail gun, a wide crown and a narrow crown stapler.

 

if I didn't already have 2 compressors l would be extremely tempted to get one of the new rotary ones that are extremely quiet.

The  battery ones are  more portable and with the lithium batteries readily available more powerful than before, also I  dont have a compressor and dont want to buy "yet another" thing to go with my already large amount of "things" such as  leaf blower, hedge  cutter, strimmer, flame  thrower, water pump, pressure  washer etc etc. Having a large  plot (16rai) of land also limits where it can be plugged in unless i buy a petrol powered  one. Its the portability, it wont get a huge amount of use.

Have you tried this brand? Ive found two brands available so far?

Was the OP considering Senco brand cordless autofeed screwdriver or the Senco cordless Finish Nailer. These 18volt tools are made in the USA and can be bought in Thailand. They are not in the general price rang of King Bangkok brand air tools. Honda petrol powered air compressors are not an insignificant investment, hence a quality 18volt nail gun would be a less expensive option for the OP.

A compressor is a must have tool for any garage, useful for so many things. Inflating tires,  spray paint gun, blowing sawdust, impact wrench, chipping gun, etc. With it you can use a variety of nail guns from brad nailers to framing guns.

My advice , buy the compressor, and an compressed air gun, you will not regret it.

There is also a kit you can get to run the air nailers off of the paintball gun CO2 bottles.

Yes still probably not the best option in your case. I would go with the DeWalt cordless. If you are not already invested in some other platform.
