Cordless Nail Guns Guide

Battery powered or Cordless nail guns are ideal if have a project that will require 100's if not 1000's of nails to be driven into wood or other materials in a single day, although a hammer is a great tool for a few nails, but nail guns come in handy for larger jobs. Power nailers come in 2 basic types - stick nail guns and coil nail guns. Stick nailers use nails that are held together by wire, plastic or paper and form a "stick" that fits into an oblong magazine on the nail gun. A coil style nailer uses "long, flexible strings of nails joined with wire".

Cordless nailers can work as efficiently as pneumatic nailers although they require more scheduled cleanings. Cordless nailers work excellent in tight, start up fast, and project with low volume nailing. Features to consider when buying a power nailer are things like nail firing types, directional exhaust, jam clearing, adjustable depth, large triggers, carrying cases, swiveling air connectors, protective guards, easy to load nail magazines, and nail size adjustments. The top brand names for cordless nail guns are Stanley, Bostitch, Porter Cable, DeWalt, Paslode, Hitachi, Makita, Senco, Bosch, Ryobi and Craftsman.
