  • TOOLS OF THE TRADE Magazine (7/16/2007)
  • Grip-Rite says its 16D mini palm nailer offers the performance of a pro tool but in a compact package that's one-third the size and weight of traditional palm nailers. The GRTMP16 drives up to 16D nails up to 3-1/2 inches long at 70–110-psi operating pressure. It features a magnetic nose to hold fasteners in place. – FastCap's ChopShop Saw Hood can keep your cleanup quick and your customers happy.

  • 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.
