Thank you. Are you saying there is a separate kit for the adaptors or is this kit part of the purchase of the nailer at Harbor Freight?

Also, you will get a hammer attachment. Switching between attachments is simple. Just don't lose the spring. Take the tip off using the tools provided in the kit. Slide the tip you want into the jacket you just removed, then put it back on and you are good to go. If you get the kit, you will see what I'm talking about.

I looked at a pneumatic palm nailer at Harbor Freight yesterday. It was 40 dollars and took up to a 16 D Nail. What I don't quite understand is that the hole in the end , where you place the head end of the nail, is pretty large, about 5 sixteenth of an inch or more. How would one hold a small finishing nail straight to nail it in straight with such a large diameter tube to place the nail into? Any one know how that works?

There is a Mastercraft electric model available on sale at Canadian Tire this week for $79. It is a 12 volt model. As for which is better, as usual it depends on use and need and similar things. Maybe the best is a pneumatic one from Porter Cable, it seems to allow for the widest range of nail sizes up to 6 and a half inches.I don't remember what they charge for it but I think a bit over 200 bucks. I think it is the one I would buy if I expect to do a lot of work. The disadvantage is dragging around all that hose. For a few dozen nails or a one off deck or fence requiring a couple of hundred nails I think the electric would sufficient for most people. a little heavier but more easily portable and no hose pulling you back or under your feet and so on. Bear in mind that I don't own one, I still get some perverse pleasure from swinging a hammer except of course those really close quarters situations where you don't have room. If ever I do any significant amount of framing again I'll buy a nail gun and shoot now that they are coming down in price. ----- Original Message ----- From: Tom Hodges To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> Sent: Saturday, October 24, 2009 10:47 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Palm Nailers Can anyone tell me if Palm Nailers are available in both electric and pneumatic?
