kannot Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe "Sometime woodworker" may know??? 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kannot Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 Also this brand and this one with the size at 1.63mm which should be fine http://www.tachou.com/Default.aspx?pageid=79 http://www.b2bthai.com/Search/Product/Detail/142433?name=ตะปูยิงT25-T64) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamalabob2 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMc45 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 There is also a kit you can get to run the air nailers off of the paintball gun CO2 bottles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go with the DeWalt cordless. If you are not already invested in some other platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
