Dean, you are smart by helping your customers save money because word of mouth is the best advertisement. Customers are not always right, but attempting to make them right will work for you. I believe you truly care, Dean, and that is a very valuable trait. Keep up the good work, my brother and friend. I will be continuing to seek employment and what I have learned from you and others on KZbin could be the reason I land a job. Thank you very much. 🇨🇮🇺🇸👍

It's years, & years of repetition upon repetition doing this over & over again. As they say practice makes perfect. Dean is really good at making it look so simple because of his experience. I love how he just throws nuts, screws & parts all over the bench when disassembling and then put it right back together easily. 👍🏻👌🏻🛠️🔧🔩🗜️ ✊🏻🇺🇲🦅

Hi Dean these type of guns are very good at shooting nails but they need too be lighter and more compact Paslode are far more comfortable too use and carry around on roofs if they manage too do this they would be number one gun

...or the "real" Metabo,which is manufactured for them by Prebena (Pressouftbenagelung - a German company for professional compressed air tools, etc.), which also joined Metabo's CAS system. By the way, most of the tool manufacturers who joined the CAS system also produce some kind of machine from their program also for Metabo under the brand name Metabo...often basic models,...like e.g. steinel, Prebena, Gesipa, Starmix, etc... so when you buy such a Metabo machine, there is a high probability that the manufacturer is another highly professional company... just as the Metabo nailer is manufactured by Prebena, it is possible that this Hikoki or Metabo HPT is basically also manufactured by Prebena.

Hikoki (formerly Hitachi) acquired Metabo several years ago. They could not continue using the name Hitachi due to licensing reasons. For North America they took the name Metabo HPT, for the rest of the world Hikoki. While Hikoki and Metabo are distinctive brands their latest tool releases are basicly the same tool under different brand names. They would probably retain some unique tools for each brand, but as a Metabo fan I have mixed feelings about this.

@tdotw77 Ай бұрын

Although I've never used them I absolutely love the tools that have the batteries & the plug-in battery adapter so tools can be used both ways if absolutely necessary. DeWalt did it with one tool the flex volt miter saw(& table saw?) but that wasn't the best cause I hear they blow motors a lot cause of voltage differences. It's a good idea tho for sure. I sure wish DeWalt had it figured it out better! 👌🏻👍🏻🛠️🔧🔩🗜️ ✊🏻🇺🇲🦅

@OmegaGamingNetwork Ай бұрын

I wish makita would make something comparable. I have their finish nailer on the LXT system and it works great, I just don't want another battery platform. But the longer they wait, the closer I get to replacing my air one with this. Basically the day it dies a decision is being made.

@shifty277 Ай бұрын

Just out of interest Dean, do you think in the next generation of battery nailers can Milwaukee or Hikoki get another 1/2 KG of weight out of the bare tool? This Hikoki 1st fix seems to be the preferred gun from carpenters willing to go the battery route for winter working. Thumbs up.

@deandohertygreaser Ай бұрын

They could very easily, but it would also mean a reduction in performance and life span of the tool.

@mlawlan69 Ай бұрын

I've just bought a brand new im350+ simply because of the weight savings over the air guns. I'm the only one on site still using paslode, everyone else is using the Milwaukee. When it comes to power there is simply no comparison, the paslode loses every single time, unfortunately my tennis elbow simply won't let me throw the extra weight of the Milwaukee around 6/7/8 hours a day. If they ever manage to get these nailers down to sub 3.5kg paslode is going to have a very tough job sticking with the gas format.

@shifty277 Ай бұрын

@@mlawlan69 this is it especially with roofing you can't always keep the weight of the gun close to your center of weight i.e sticking your arm to reach areas. it's all good inside where the gun is close to your chest but as soon as you start holding out your arm holding four kilograms with a battery it will wear on you

I've done roofing work in the past but only ever with a paslode, I can't imagine holding my arm out at full stretch with the extra weight of the air guns WHILST trying to balance heavy timbers 30 ft in the air. No thanks, I'll stick to the gas. 😝

Hey Dean. Had the same experiance with starmix vacuums. Was going to buy a new set of filter for a M class vacuum direct from starmix, The cost was $150 aud for one filter from starmix or $80 aud for the exact same filter from Metabo. Same Vacuum, same parts, differant price, differant colour. I think this it's to do with the CAS system ??

Dean, another great vid. Great guns too. My pneumatic hardly ever comes out nowadays. What’s your thoughts on a spray of brake cleaner now and then on the nail carriage? A guy in a wholesaler told me this a few weeks ago but I’m not so sure? He was a salesman trying to sell me on the Milwaukee thing but after your vids that’s never going to happen😀 stick to my Makita forever me thinks! Looking forward to the 18v first fix Makita when it hits this country tho! Ed 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I'd be careful with brakeclean on any rubber and some plastics don't like it and it will affect them. Contact cleaner and\or wd40 would be safer options IMO.

@StarlightStream Ай бұрын

So a thing about those nail guns and how the last tooth on that pin keeps on skipping makes me wonder what would happen if you just cut this little bit of the pin shaft off to make it so it can fire again. Granted, you would loose some kinetic energy that would help drive in the nail, but maybe it could still be enough to make it work. Obviously I never did anything like that, so I can't tell.

Over here in the states there are tire shops that will actually put nitrogen into your tires of your vehicle instead of just compressed air because nitrogen does not fluctuate in the pressure with heat or cold like atmospheric air. I wonder if charging that nail gun with nitrogen would enough difference to be noticeable.

@greentjmtl Ай бұрын

Yes they do, all gas follows law of physics. The actual reason is manufactured nitrogen is dry so there's no water turning into vapor to mess with the pressure.

@darylhudson777 Ай бұрын

@@greentjmtl Nitrogen is used in automotive tires because it is a dry gas with larger molecules than the oxygen in regular air, allowing it to maintain tire pressure more consistently over time, leading to improved fuel economy, longer tire life, and better overall performance compared to standard air inflation; it also helps prevent wheel corrosion due to its low moisture content.
