I looked for a review everywhere couldn’t find one I bought it then you came out with this vid very helpful thanks

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Yea I couldn't find a review on it either. Cheers!

I bought the same one for £79.99 with battery and charger good bit of kit good video keep up the good work

Nice bit of equipment. really good review and demonstration 👍

Thank you!

[@jxsh9486]

I bought this about 2 days go love it

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Yea I'm liking mine too!

[@idlersdream826]

Looks identical to my Aldi Ferrex gun, I’ve been very happy with it 👍

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Yea it does look the same as the Ferrex.

[@idlersdream826]

@@PhillWyattProjects I wonder if the batteries are the same 🤔. Toolstation used to sell Bauker batteries that apparently would fit, but they’re not listed now ☹️.

Hi Phill, happy new year. Great review on the nail gun, look's like your very happy with it, I have used my brothers battery nail gun he got from Aldi a Ferrex . I do have a Parkside mains powered nail gun it's ok not as powerful as the Ferrex battery nail gun. As always a good and honest video, Take care👍

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Cheers Shaun & Happy New Year 👍🏻 yea so far so good. It's not bad.

[@Jason-Faraday]

I’ve got this and it jams literally every other nail with 50mm nails. 40mm seem fine

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Yea I have experienced jams quite often. I usually ignore it and fire again and that seems to work most of the time. I am not sure weather it has something to do with technique or the brand of brads though to be honest.

[@Jason-Faraday]

@@PhillWyattProjects I’ve got tax wise 40 and 50. 40 are fine and never jam but the 50 are unusable. I’m lucky if I get one nail out before it jams and i have to take it apart to unjam it. Luckily everything I use it for can be done with 40mm

[@philiphalpin1997]

I have it as well, fired over 500 nails today with it, not a single jam. It has jammed before, but a hand full of times, for the money I'm well impressed with it.

[@awantamta]

Nice machine

[@owen12352]

Looks lovely 😊

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Yea it's pretty useful so far 👍🏻

[@Patmac74]

I wonder if they are similar to the ferrex nailer. Looks good. Be an absolute bonus if ferrex battery or Parkside battery fitted. I have the same corded nailer and agree that sometimes to it doesn't have the oomph you need.

[@PhillWyattProjects]

It does look similar although I don't know about battery compatibility from other brands. I have quite a few Excel cordless tools at the moment so I always have spare batteries on hand.

[@paulcooper9187]

Its looks terribly similar to my Ferrex Nailer, apart from the colour of the plastic

[@ProperTMaintenance]

Did you try on mdf skirting boards and architrave.? Cheers

[@PhillWyattProjects]

I didn't although I wish I had. I keep getting asked this question.

[@2logj]

Thanks.I wanted to buy one Nail gun.This will simplify a lot of repetitive work and save time as well.Best wishes.

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Your welcome

[@ANDY-we7mr]

Will it fire 50mm brad nails 💅

[@andyc972]

Thanks Phill, another Excel-lent review, that looks like a handy bit of kit, seemed to work very well, did you have any issues with jamming, I presume not as not mentioned ? As you say the power settings are very much down to personal experience and trial and error, even the hard/softwood names can be misleading an old weathered resinous softwood fencepost can be considerably harder than a bit of generic "hardwood" salvaged window frame !

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Cheers Andy good points 👍🏻 I haven't had a problem with jamming. Although if a nail does get properly jammed, you can remove part of the front nozzle to remove the jam. It seems quite straightforward.

[@andyc972]

@@PhillWyattProjects Thanks for the answer Phill, good to know !

[@johnrutherford4042]

Hi great video by the way well done agd good effort, what brad nails are you using and what brand many thanks

[@salam238]

I have one... The nailes came with it were fine but when i used bought from Screwfi, it doesn't work properly. I don't know whether it has problem with the tools or the nails?

[@PhillWyattProjects]

I really can't say. I have experienced frequent jams with mine although I am not sure weather it has something to do with technique when firing the gun. I haven't used nails from screwfix although I have used other brands which do work with this gun.

[@philiphalpin1997]

Think that's heavy, try a Hikoki first fix nail gun, battery and 90mm nails it's pushing 6kg, bloody excellent machine though.

[@PhillWyattProjects]

I have heard the Hikoki is good.

[@philiphalpin1997]

I think they are the same.

[@ANDY-we7mr]

PHIL I WANT YOUR HONNEST REVIEW ON THIS PLEASE IS ANY GOOD FOR 3/4 FENCE BOARDS I BE USING 50MM BRAD NAILS I HAVE JUST SEEN THE REVIEWS ON EBAY AND I WAS IMPRESSED COMPARED TO THE CORDLESS CORDLESS LUMBERJACK NAIL GUN 🔫 I CAN GET IT FOR £102 and £40 5amp battery but I carnt find a storage box phill

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Apparently it will fire 50mm brads although the most I have used in it is 40mm brads. I was using it to attach pallet boards to a shed panel. I would say because the brads are quite thin, I would always recommend adding some additional screws to prevent boards from potentially lifting over time. They are not thicker ring nails only thin brads so they are more for fixing temporarily that a long lasting solution. I hope this helps. Yea I don't think you can get a storage case for this gun.

[@ANDY-we7mr]

@@PhillWyattProjects yes but it's not a first fix gun more a second fix for light pinning

[@ANDY-we7mr]

PHIL SEEN THIS ON EBAY MATE ITS NOT A FIRST FIX NAIL GUN WHAT IAM AFTER ITS MORE A SECOND FIX NAIL GUN MAY BE OK FOR TRIM AROUND THE DOOR IN YOUR HOUSE BUTS ITS NO GOOD FOR 3/4 FENCE BOARDS HIKOKI ARE THE ONES TO GET OR DE WALT OR BETTER MILWAUKEE M18 NAIL GUN THANKS PHIL I WONT BE GETTING THIS 😢

[@garyclifton2180]

Phil have you seen Morley kert what he does with old pallets worth a look lol

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Yes I have actually. Watched quite a few of the pallet builds a while back. Cheers Gary!

[@rianmc4760]

You swapped to a 5ah battery for the 40mm Brad's. Did the 2ah battery not have enough power?

[@PhillWyattProjects]

It made no difference. Both batteries worked the same. I just grabbed the 5ah because the 2ah was in another tool at the time. Both batteries are 18v and perform the same in terms of power in my experience.

[@ANDY-we7mr]

SOMEBODY GOT INTOUCH Phill it's only a second fix nail 💅 gun phil ok for bird 🐦 boxs 📦 ha ha but not fence work 😅

[@garywhitaker5540]

Bought a 5 ah battery . Sends them Nails and Staples straight home .

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Yea it's quite powerful I think.

should have shown it nailing hardwood

It nails hardwood just like it does the staples. No problem at all.

[@stevehaynes2857]

It is a shame it dents the wood.

All these Brands use the same tool just different colours and re-branded Einhell Sealey Clarke Worx - battery adapter available on ebay to Dewalt and Makita Draper Excel Batavia T-Mech Work-Zone lumber Jack Kimo If all these tools use the same battery pattern as the Worx then all these other brands can use Makita and Dewalt Batteries too with an ebay battery adapter.

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Thanks for the info. I didn't know about this. 👍🏻

[@rob2323]

Katsu, Ferrex, VonHause & benchmark to add to the list.. I did notice the benchmark and lumberjack tools have a quick release clip nail jam feature , does your Excel have this?
