Fitting noggins in timber stud wall***WHY I LIKE USING GAS NAILERS***

[@BuildWithAE]

That was like poetry in motion, completely agree gas nailer all day long Del, loved the OB1 top mate and what they are doing for the youth of today have a awesome week all the best Tony 👍

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Tony🖐Perhaps if I was 20 years younger the extra weight wouldn't have been so much of a challenge🙃Thanks for watching bud🤩

[@jonesconrad1]

Much prefer air, though carrying a compressor is a PITA so gas when required is my opinion.

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Del boy hope your keeping well 👍 I set up with the nogging stick today mate really good idea 👌 thanks for sharing 😊

[@thetallcarpenter]

Yes Andrew👊'Noggins away' as they say🤩

[@pipey3000]

Great video Del. I like pneumatics but since the move away from corded tools I can't cope with hoses either. Using a Hikoki framer these days, it is heavy for sure but consistent, quiet compared to the Paslode, and bump fire is a bonus too. Cheers from Aus!

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi there🖐I agree and once you've tasted the freedom of cordless, going back to dragging around hoses and leads is, well, a drag😉Thanks for watching from down under and for your comment😎Cheers Del

[@johnwaby4321]

You have definitely got fitting those noggin off to a fine art Del . The last thing you need is a heavy nail gun especially working at Ceiling level 👍👍👍👍

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi John🖐Like most things bud, speed comes with experience and preparation👊Thanks for watching and your comment 😎 Cheers Del

[@fghjjjk]

I use both. making sheds i go through a lot of 50mm nails. Bought a DeWalt one for this as in a few months i save £££ .. use a paslode for framing

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi there🖐I can certainly see the benefits of running both types of gun if you do varying types of work with them👊Thanks for watching and your comment 😎 Cheers Del

[@shizzleinthenizzle]

Absolutely spot on. Got rid of our dewalt electric one, weighed a ton.

[@thetallcarpenter]

If you're doing the right kind of work, then the weight of the battery only guns isn't an issue🤔but like you, for my work, I find them to heavy😬Cheers Del

[@shizzleinthenizzle]

@@thetallcarpenter we use an air nailer for fencing, its soo light and probably more powerful than the paslode. Also the coils of stainless nails are cheap. Use the dewalt cordless compressor. Works great.

[@Theforestcarpenter]

Good vid as always. Strange that i enjoy watching other people do what i do all day?? Ive never owned anything other than paslode but once you understand there niggles theyre a great piece of kit 👌

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi there🖐I agree, and I'll be going back to Paslode soon as this Fischer gun struggles to get into the tighter spots as its a little bulky at the nose😶Thanks for watching 😎 Cheers Del

[@malcolmturton9779]

I totally agree about the weight issue with the battery nailers. Only problem with the gas ones is cold weather, I always had another cannister in my pocket to try and keep it warm. Also did the same thing with mastic in a bucket of hot water when sealing tons of cedar cladding and curtain walling in the middle of winter. Makes me feel pleased to be retired, I'm bored but i'm warm lol.

[@jrsuk1170]

The paslode im360ci works to -15 degrees. I totally agree with you about the older gas nailers but the problem is now solved. It's also more powerful than every battery nailer. I've just bought one and couldn't be happier with it 👍

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Malcom🖐As JRS says below, the cold firing issues are all but resolved with gas nailers now👌Thanks for your comment and I hope you're enjoying your retirement😎Cheers Del

[@thetallcarpenter]

@@jrsuk1170 Yep, even this Fischer gun works well in freezing conditions👊Cheers

[@BuildWithAE]

So true about the gas problem JRS the old gas was always an issue having to warm it under your armpit in winter but paslode soon sorted it thou.

[@malcolmturton9779]

@@jrsuk1170 Wow I didn't know that, totally out of touch since retiring. Thanks for the heads up but no good for me now. Only -15 though that's positively tropical 🥵

[@Wattsjoinerybarn]

11 seconds a noggin, sprint standard at marathon pace!. Don’t own a battery nailer but every 1st fix one I have used is completely un balanced. I am mainly on the compressor which can be a pain but light and never a misfire. Superb music ❤

[@thetallcarpenter]

Thanks for your comment bud🤗and you are right about how poor these guns are balanced, but I guess its part of how they have to be to be light and compact🤔Cheers Del

[@DixieNormous1]

Have to agree with you. I've had 20 paslode impulses over the years.. switched to a DeWalt cordless a couple years ago ,got a brand new paslode again a few months back. The weight of the battery only ones gets to my torn toter cuff

[@Theforestcarpenter]

Bloody hell how have you got through 20 paslode guns? I'm on my 4th in 25 yrs

[@thetallcarpenter]

I hear you bud, and I'll be going back to the super light weight Paslode as they are very agile and easy to use😎Thanks for your comment🤩Cheers Del

[@paddy120]

Great video del, I got the new hikoki nailer great gun but you are right too heavy I bring out the gas gun when working over head👍

[@thetallcarpenter]

That makes a lot of sense I guess bud, as you're not always nailing overhead👌Cheers Del

[@paulfinnonjoinery]

ive had a dewalt first fix nailer for years now. i was given it by dewalt as a trial gun. my other first fix nailer is a makita but its not worked for years. id probably be buying a hikoki gasless if i bought another after 2 years of the second fix gun. having said that id actually quite like to get into more first fix work and see if i changed my mind and returned to gas guns.

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Paul🖐You can't argue with the power and reliability of the battery only guns, but it does come at a price, and that's its weight😶Like all things, I guess it depends on what type of work you do🤔Cheers fella

[@khansk36]

Gas is problematic switched to hikoki so far so good

Hi, enjoy watching your kitchen fitting videos, I've been a carpenter for over 40yrs now and been solely fitting kitchens for the last 12yrs. Got a belfast sink in the next one, never fitted one before and there's an end panel at each side with quartz worktops. Is it best for the cut edge of the end panel to be at the top? Hope you can please advise me, thanks. Phil

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Phil🖐It's never nice having end panels anywhere near water, but I'm pressuming the worktop will be overhanging the Belfast sink, and hopefully siliconed to the underside🤔 As long as this is the case, then your panels should be fine🤞Always great to have a fellow carpenter from the same era🤩Cheers Del

I'm not joiner, but working on own home and landscaper, so use hikoki battery first fix, it's too heavy, i found. Ok fo me doing decking, but not all day above head

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi there🖐And I would say that a battery only nail gun would be suited to your kind of job👍Thanks for your comment 😎 Cheers Del

[@flyingjackcarpentry9394]

Recently got hikoki framer. It's a beast and doesn't miss a beat But I'm not a tall carpenter, I'm 5'8 and 3/8ths. It's difficult to use above your head and its too heavy to hang on your toolbelt. Even with the yanky occidental belt and suspender system I'm using

[@thetallcarpenter]

I guess there is a trade off between usability and reliability😬Thanks for your comment 😎 Cheers Del

[@flyingjackcarpentry9394]

@thetallcarpenter thought it would save money eventually coz you don't have to buy the gas. But I should have looked into it abit more. It's difficult to buy the nails without the gas in most merchants. And it's not actually much cheaper. Don't wanna write it off yet, but I do think I should have just gone paslode.

[@thetallcarpenter]

@@flyingjackcarpentry9394 Check out FastBuild Supplies as their nails are really well priced and delivered free👍

Hi Del, is that an OB1 adhesive/ sealant t-shirt you are wearing? I tried it the other day when I couldn't get CT1 (which I'd just found and couldn't believe how good it was). That OB1 is unbelievable, a complete game changer, imo even better than CT1.

[@thetallcarpenter]

Yes it is bud, and if you check out Build with A&E,s channel, you'll see how I came to have it😉And yes, OB1 adhesives are quite special😎Cheers

[@MrRedfreds]

The old days, was 4" round heads, love a paslode.

Oh yes bud, I remember having 3" wires in one nail pouch, and like you said, 4" wires in the other, with only the trusted Estwing to drive them home💪Nail guns have killed off hammering skills just like a lot of other carpentry skills😶Cheers Del

[@TheToolnut]

They still have a place in my book. I sink one in spots where I need an extra bit of pull.

[@MrRedfreds]

If I'm doing a stud. I screw the end ones with 5x80 screws especially if it's laid on the deck, as I find those 90mm paslode nails tend not to hold as good.

Have you ever used a nail gun fed from a compressor? I hear they are lighter but there is the airline to drag around. Im curious about them because i see a lot of american builders using only airline tools. Thanks for the content.

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi there🖐Yes, I have much experience of air fed nailers, both here in the UK and over in the US👍As you say, they are super light, powerful and rarely go wrong👊However, you do need a compressor and air lines to go with them🤔Thanks for watching and your comment 😎 Cheers Del

[@TheToolnut]

Pneumatic nail guns cannot be beaten for power. I run my finish nailers off of a DeWalt flexvolt cordless compressor. I have also run a Makita coil nailer off it to see could it keep up. It could but I'd recommend at least a 9ah battery, preferably the 12ah though.
