Max is from Australia and he wanted to know a reliable one he wouldn't have 
trouble with the warranty.  I figured if he's going to pay that much for 
shipping go with a better brand.

I buy stuff from there every so often myself so I can't knock the place.  I'm 
just thinking of how much it will cost to ship something like that across the 
world and if he has a problem how hard is it going to be getting it fixed.

  Bob, I just bought one from Harbor Freight cause it was cheap and I could do
  it online. I don't imagine I'll use this all that often, but hopefully
  it'll work for a while anyway.

  I'd stay away from Harbor Freight. However, Bostich is a very good brand.
  All of the other big names you read about over here make them too. Porter
  Cable, Dewalt and Passload. I'm not sure about the air fittings between here
  and there. Most air tools come with the same female pipe thread fitting and
  you supply the end that fits your connector to the air supply.

  The fun will be in finding a place that will ship over seas. Many places
  won't even ship to Canada from inside the states, but I haven't studied the
  problem much since I live in the states and don't have a problem shipping.

  Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Palm Nailers again

  Hi all,
  you all have convinced me that I really need a Palm Nailer.
  If for no other reason I can use standard nails. Here if I purchase a 
  finishing nail gun I can only get nails in boxes of 3000, I think I 
  will have stopped using a nail gun before I finish all the boxes of 
  different size nails I will have needed.

  Unfortunately I can not find a Palm Nailer in Australia. I have 
  contacted the big hardware stores, asked my local ones and nobody 
  knows what I am asking fore. I have taken a picture with me to show 
  them what I want still no luck.
  From my research, it appears that they may only be available in the 
  US and Canada.

  Before I consider purchasing one from the US I would like to know 
  what are good and not so good brands. I have taken a look on the 
  harbor Freight and Bostitch sites.

  I need quarter inch size fittings. Here the fittings I have are 
  called Nita fittings. I am not sure about that spelling though.

  Finally if I do purchase from the US, what are good reliable people 
  to buy from?

  If this topic has gone to long on the list please write directly to me.

  Thanks as always for any help.
  Max.
