  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (5/12/2008)
  • The CF-325 cordless framing nailer's redesigned, more aggressive nosepiece allows for toe-nailing at any angle, while re-engineering provides for faster firing than its predecessor. The company also has revamped the fuel system with a canister that drops in with no pre-use snapping, twisting, or aligning required. The fuel system and internal steel O-rings allow the nailer to last five times longer between cleaning than previous models, says the maker.

  • DeWALT, a leading manufacturer of industrial power tools, announced the launch of its first cordless 18 gauge XRP brad nailer (DC608K). The DC608K provides professional contractors with a compact, lightweight nailer without the inconveniences associated with compressors and hoses.

The DC608K is ideal for remodelers, trim carpenters, general contractors, and woodworkers.
  • X-76 Fastening ToolHilti X-76 Punch Through Resistant Fastening Tool
  • ebuild (9/20/2007)
  • The new Hilti X-76 Punch Through Resistant (PTR) fastening tool features an innovative piston brake system designed to resist "punch through" when the steel beam is missed during fastening. Ideal for fastening metal deck to structural steel or metal joist (minimum 1/4-inch thick), the compact, durable and lightweight X-76 is perfect for quickly wind tacking and fastening multi-level erections. Capable of driving fasteners at the average rate of 600 per hour, the system provides high quality, consistent fastening while providing maximum safety for users and bystanders and reducing the amount of touch up work needed.
  • 23-Gauge Pin Nailers
  • TOOLS OF THE TRADE Magazine (7/16/2007)
  • I first discovered 23-gauge pin nailers when I was looking for a way to quickly attach small moldings after I found that 18-gauge brad nails, the standard for attaching small wood trim, would consistently split the material. At the time of my first purchase–about a decade ago–pin nailers shot a maximum 1-inch-length fastener. Back then, I felt this was more than adequate because I only envisioned using the pinner for attaching trim of 1/2 inch or less in thickness. What I did not expect, however, was how many other uses I would find for it.
  • Cordless Finish NailersMVP Award Winner: Cordless Finish Nailers
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (6/13/2007)
  • Senco. The ability to go back and forth quickly between sequential and contact-actuated operation is the big step forward in these three cordless finish nailers. A judge praised the simplicity of the drive control: A push button goes in for sequential and out for contact actuation. The switchable drive also permits the 18-gauge brad nailer, 16-gauge finish nailer, and 15-gauge angled finish nailer to drive up to four fasteners per second with 600 to 1,000 drives per charge. Depth-of-drive is adjustable. Two rechargeable batteries come with the tool. Cost: $402 to $435. 800-543-4596.

  • Tool Test: Metal Connector Nailers
  • TOOLS OF THE TRADE Magazine (2/5/2007)
  • Years ago I'd routinely build houses that didn't have any metal connectors in them at all. Everything was blocked or ledgered and a few 16d nails were considered adequate for almost any connection. Once in a while I'd use the odd joist hanger, so I kept a coffee can full of 1-1/2-inch hanger nails in my truck box. It would last me a year.
  • Tools & Equipment Review: Launch Time
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (2/1/2007)
  • Throughout the year, the editors of Tools of the Trade magazine see hundreds of products cross their desks. But fall is the season when many manufacturers ramp up their new introductions in time for the Specialty Tools & Fasteners Distributors Association (STAFDA) show and International Builders' Show in February. And this means more cool stuff for us to pass along to you.

  • Max USATools & Equipment Review: Cordless Framing Nailers
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (1/4/2007)
  • For the past 20 years Paslode was the only tool company with a viable gas-powered, cordless framing nailer, and in that time many contractors recognized the value of such a tool: freedom from compressors, generators, and hoses. Paslode no longer is alone, however, with Hitachi, Max USA, and Powers Fasteners recently debuting cordless framers of their own.
