For the novice nailer, the difference between bump and sequential firing can spark confusion. But understanding these firing types can prevent purchasing errors—and serious accidents. (For tips on preventing nail gun mishaps, see 10 Tips for Air Tool Safety.) To shed some light on nail gun triggers, read on.

If there’s one job that could benefit from using a cordless tool, it’s agricultural fencing. Particularly livestock and utility fencing, which places the user out in an expansive area of land, at the mercy of the elements and without a power source. Dewalt aims to rectify those elemental issues with the MAX XR 20V DCFS950 fencing stapler.

Hand hammering staples has long been the go-to fastening method for wire fencing, however it’s inefficient, hard on the body, and it scores a major thumbs down when you miss and hit a digit. Hauling compressors and air hoses for pneumatic staplers is a literal drag.

Imagine considerably cutting down on tool weight, yet gaining a ton of power. No need to imagine, as that's precisely what the MAX USA Corp. PowerLite System offers. The first of its kind, the PowerLite system features ultra-lightweight pro-grade tools, powered by high-pressure air compressors. No batteries, no powder. Just big, big power.

What is the PowerLite System?

PowerLite tools rely on 500 PSI air compressors, as opposed to the standard 100 PSI load. The idea is that by forcing more air into the tool, you can both increase power and decrease tool size. MAX states that PowerLite tools are 40% lighter and 20% smaller than comparable tools. That makes for a marked difference, particularly when you’re working for any length of time.

Nail Gun Depot is excited to announce a slew of new additions to our Freeman tools lineup! Founded in 2008, the Georgia-based company is known for dependable, affordable tools for the professional and DIYer. In fact, their prices tend to cost 20-50% less than other well-known brands, with comparable features.

The most notable additions to our Freeman tools selection are flooring nailers and fencing staplers, many with dual (or even triple) functions. Of course, we’d be remiss to not mention the two new framing nailers, a concrete T-nailer, and two finishing nailer/staplers. Let’s review what’s new-to-us from Freeman.

You’re ready to install wood trim and have decided on an angled finish nailer. When you order the fasteners, however, you find two types of 15-gauge nails. One says “FN” on the product, and the other “DA.” What’s the difference?

The micro-pin nailer reigns supreme, as tool of choice for trim carpenters, finish woodworkers, and anyone else who works on cabinets, finish and trim, picture frames, and light furniture assembly. While these tasks don't require a lot of holding power, they do require a nail that leaves virtually no footprint and won't split wood. So, which 23 gauge pin nailer do you choose?

To help in the decision making process, we’re comparing the Metabo HPT NP50A, Cadex V2/23.55A, and Grex P650. Each of these micro pinners drive a 23-gauge headless pin nail of 2" or more in length. While the tools naturally share some features, it's really about the details—and which can best suit your particular needs.
