I thought this would be a waste of money

[@Sean-bp6xb]

Was wondering about the palm nailer! Thx. Watching from Ontario Canada 😊🎉

[@WombleUK]

Carpenter & Joiner for 37yrs here in the UK. I got a palm nailer about 8 to 10 years ago for £30 & it is without a doubt the best £30 tool I have ever bought. I use it pretty much just for joist hangers with loose twist nails as loads of builders are too tight to pay for collated twist nails & every single person who sees me use it is absolutely amazed by it. I also bought the Bostitch Strapshot nailer last year for £200 & it paid for itself on the first job. Also you can nail hangers in places you juts cannot with a hammer & best of all NO smashed fingers & dropped nails.

[@RemoteCamper]

These palm nailers are a waste of money for anyone that never bought one..... Once you do buy one you suddenly find a lot of used of them. Its not an every day tool, but it suddenly is a needed tool.

[@MatteHatt]

I bought a Palm Nailer too (somewhat reluctantly) a year ago and I absolutely LOVE it. It's perfect for jobs like strapping and joist hangers but I use it more than a hammer now.

[@ethancali6805]

How are you meant to clad the wall if it is so close to the other house??

[@AmericanNetworks88]

Are you dumb??

[@BILLYYMM]

i could be wrong but, based on him using tension brace and how small that cavity is, it with be steel battens and hebel (CAN be craned in and screwed from the back of the batten if it needs to be) making sure the paper will be compliant is probably the only difficult part

[@jarrydwhitaker8470]

It’ll be bricked from the inside, so the brickies will brick it up standing inside the garage placing the bricks through the wall into the outside going through the frame

[@ryanlove5332]

Thanks for the great video Dave. I had purchased a certain red battery powered palm nailer to modify for some auto body work. Have not tried it for timber work yet. The pneumatic one looks like a time saver as well.

[@dustinkrebs8229]

That palm nailer is going to be useful in a lot of tight spaces 👌 especially when using hangers 💯

[@kyleedgerton3698]

If I ever decide to build a house. You'll be doing the framing etc. You actually care. And do things to code. Even fixing others mistakes. And your own some times. It's hard to find people that care about what they do these days. I applaud you. Keep it up mate :)

[@xAnAngelOfDeathx]

Pro tip: sheath, cross brace and install tyvek WHILE THE WALLS ARE ON THE FLOOR. Use teflon tape on your air tool fittings. Do not put nails in your mouth, especially galvanized nails.

[@Ryan-uz8wm]

Bet you've never put a frame up before

[@xAnAngelOfDeathx]

Not to say wrong, because you aren't, they just do things differently in Australia.

[@seanupfold9111]

We do things very different in aus codes are all different

[@douglasfreedom8943]

Could you have used those rated tech screws?

[@Matt-fn1km]

That whole wall should have been clad before frame stood . Should have been designed as lightweight framed fire wall. You could argue there could also be acoustic requirements too being so close to adjacent boundary wall NCC Part 3.7.2 fire separation of external walls

[@TimWatkins-eg9it]

It must gonna be brick veneer, but still a mission even to get wall wrap on there

[@Matt-fn1km]

@@TimWatkins-eg9it true can see the step down , just saying this should have been resolved in the design stage Not dealing with this onsite

[@TheHomislice]

pretension your cross brace with a batton screw, it gets it way tighter and is easier then a framing nail.

[@michaelmaas5544]

I’ve owned a palm nailer for around 25 years, I’ve replaced them a few times only because they’ve gotten smaller. But it’s definitely a must have tool

[@Ash-dk5zg]

Back when I use to work with my dad, we called it the turtle gun. Cause it looked like a turtle shell, very useful tool

[@benmott9281]

Hey mate, not sure if you do this or not but could help! - on stick frames I was taught to write absolutely everything of importance on the ground in crayon after flicking out , I rarely have to refer back to the plans that way and as you’re framing the walls you can read everything as a reminder 👌🏻

[@ianedwards9136]

Mate no one is perfect and it shows the reality of the construction game, You are running the job, multiple guys, rushing a tad i think and filming so shit will go wrong don't feel to bad is no reflection on your work or abilities as a tradesman. I feel and it is just my opinion, a half hour to go double check would of saved you more time, but hey this world would be boring if everything run smooth. Got to ask how the hell did they get planning permission to have that building so close to boundary line, going to be a challenge cladding some of those exterior walls.

[@carlogarcia-prieto3948]

In those tighter areas, once you have started the nail, you can hold a block on the brickwork and use the claw of your hammer to lever the nail in

[@nicmulhall4254]

Mate the palm nailers are great trying to swing a framer in tight when booting joist that are close together is a challenge but this thing has its purpose.

[@DaveDoesCarpentry]

I’ve spent a lot of time awkwardly hand nailing joists hangers like that, never got to the point where it’ll be worth going out and getting the palm nailer tho, so glad I had a good enough reason to get it today

[@matthewuzulis5016]

Palm nailers are one of those tools you need to carefully consider. No it generally is not "needed" as there are other ways to do the same thing, it also requires a compressor on hand. Now if you do have a compressor and have situations that do pop up frequently where it can do the job the time it saves is well worth it, let alone not having to deal with the agitation of other methods. It's not a tool I would recommend to a DIY handyman, but to professionals the cost is quite negligible for what it provides in return.

[@SingleTrack66]

No tension in the straps. You need to pull the strap tight with a nail and a hammer, then nail it with another nail and hammer. Sounds hard but if you can lever off of something it’s actually quite easy to do on your own.

[@rockyrowlands3652]

What happens if next door needs to do some work on the brick wall in the future?

[@TheSilverFoxsDen]

Which chisel brand do you find the best ??

[@JohnSmith-hr3gv]

I'm not a carpenter but have framed a couple granny flats (owner-builder) and absolutely loved the process. The best part was the hip-valley roof. Loved how it all comes together (and the money saved). Just a question, why are you not using treated timber?

[@ivanxyz1]

Actually, you can use a palm nailer to do 75% of the framing. Very useful.

[@JamesYale1977]

I love palm nailers especially for installing frame hangers.

[@NorthernS0n]

Non termite-treated framing? Not ideal... great tip about not keeping gal nails in your mouth..., good to see Aussie workers doing some good work💪 awesome vid bro keep em coming

[@cameronhesling6189]

How are you going to ply down the back on that wall and how are the brick layers getting down there?🤣

[@DunedinFarSouth]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@Candyman1996.e]

I haven't watched the whole video - But in aus we don't ply unless it's required. And I highly doubt it is. And the bricklayer then "overhand lay" from the inside of the house. Bricks look like shit. But when given no other choice.

[@minhdaubu2363]

Highly doubt there’s going to be anything behind there other a vapour barrier. It’s gonna be sealed from the top and the sides

[@minhdaubu2363]

There’s no need for anything to go behind that other than water proofing. Then seal the top and the sides

[@DunedinFarSouth]

@@minhdaubu2363 nice

[@mattyk82]

best thing to do bro is put the strap on inside of wall, straighten first or put the bows out so you only have to pack that wall over the straps.

No dpc under the sole plates?

[@kadenmackriell4751]

The best use for palm nailers is joist hangers...Otherwise, your nailer should do the rest...
