Editor's Review: Nail Guns for Joist Hangers
by Mike Guertin
review date: May 1, 2003
This multiblow pneumatic nailer is shaped like a pistol. Its deep cylindrical nose holds spikes fairly straight while driving. A thumbscrew adjusts depth drive so that you don't have to regulate your compressor's psi. A magnet holds the nail in the driving chamber, and slight pressure forward activates the driver. This is a fine alternative to a metal-connector nailer or a palm nailer.
