Questions & Answers

How long does it take for the brad to fall out when the tool is facing downward?

That will be the case. A small rare earth magnet is used on the barrel to hold the Brad in place.

Is this compatible with a5/16 inch wide j channels?

They have been a part of my life for years.

Has a magnet been added to hold the nails in place? Is this gun capable of driving cement nails into concrete?

I am writing in response to your inquiry regarding the Malco TNP3S Trim Nail Punch. Thank you. Neither this product nor its packaging contain magnets. Instead of holding nails with a clip, it keeps them in place using a nail retainer. To use this product, trim nails that are up to 1 1/4" long should be used. In case you have any further questions, please send them our way. We appreciate your time and appreciate your business. We wish you an enjoyable

Is this product suitable for very thin nails trimmed in 1/4 round?

For example, you could use it to begin a nail. However, you need to take extreme caution. You will need to use a hammer by itself after the nail reaches 3/4 of the way into your trim if you want it to be almost flush with it. It will then be necessary to use a counter sink punch to drive the nail below the surface without damaging the By using this tool, you can start nail by nail without risk of nail bending or fingers getting hurt. Your actions are not in line with the purpose of the tool. Cutting coil nails and soffit nails as needed (Installation/setup).

Selected User Reviews For Malco TNP3S Trim Nail Punch, Pack of 1

I found this to be tremendously helpful! For smaller nails, TNP3S is more convenient as it works much faster
4/5

The larger TNP2 size is more durable, while the smaller TNP3S size is more efficient. The benefits of these nails and how easily they can be put into fine woodworking will amaze you if you have never used them before and dramatically reduce the chances of damage to wood or bends. Both of these TNP3S miniatures are in my collection The TNP2 (5. 25oz) is larger and heftier than its smaller and lighter counterpart, the TNP2. 65 ounces). The nails were originally bought to put in nails for bronze weatherstripping, and they were immediately put to use for all sorts of other nailing as well. Despite the differences in how each of them works, they are both remarkably effective. I prefer the larger size instead of the "mini. " The "mini," to me, is not so small. Compared to this, it is much narrower. As opposed to TNP2, the heavier TNP2 nails go in MUCH faster. Sizes larger than this one have a spring-loaded handle In the barrel's chamber, a clip keeps a nail in place if it has a larger head than a trim nail (because a nail will slide out anyway if it has a larger head). As a result, I found it much more durable (what's maybe exception is the tool clip, which I bent to see if I could make it more strongly hold nails). Using the TNP3S yesterday, I was able to nail 2 using the TNP3S. nails need to be ran into very dense layer of old wood (Maze HT250) The largest oak we've ever seen grows to a height of 100 feet (the wood in this wood is so dense that ordinary nails pop the heads off with a claw hammer before they pull out, and the only nails I can consistently pull out are Maze nails. It's a puzzle to me as to why my Malco mini punch has jammed and is almost unusable I'm honestly baffled. One way or the other, the outer sleeve or the inner moving element got bent. The result is that they no longer always slide smoothly and tend to get stuck. Thus, the smaller TNP3S is not as durable as the TNP2 version of the same size. I put extreme emphasis on the durability of any product, and I wouldn't want to buy one again that had such an ease of damage. In spite of its small size, I will give it another try since it is such an incredibly useful tool, and because the wood I am working with is so abnormally hard. It is my honor to preside It looked as though there were 2 holes drilled, but in reality it's only 1. YES, I had to get a pair because I'm 5in long and I can't possibly get 2 unless I'm using an optical device. A tool like this would be difficult to use in hammering in 5in trim nails into this dense wood. It is a house of more than 100 years. You can't make it any easier than that. Overall, I prefer the smaller one if I want to be more careful and am willing to take more time with wood in a really visible place that can't be easily replaced, and when I need to fit it into a small space. The large one was bought first, the small one went next, and the large one never saw the light of day again until If I use the larger version most of the time in the future, I will be very careful with the small one, and I will use the smaller version only if the large one is not practical (such as the tiny bronze nails that I bought it for originally).

There is no internal 'slop' in a nail punch
5/5

In case you only have room for one punch in your bag, this is your best option There is almost no 'slop' between the bore and punch on this one As a result, the larger versions have a lot of wiggle room between the punch and the Although the plastic is almost enough to prevent it from rolling away, they could have made it a little wider or a little more tactile or Although still one of the best punch style tools.

The user is prevented from accidentally hammering their fingers
5/5

As an example, it'll prevent your fingers from being accidentally hammered. It is far more effective than, say, grasping the nails with

Dislike It is long, which helps keep it from getting lost, but a shorter version would be better suited for tight Another company offers a shorter version for about $8, though if you need one shorter, you can get one.

The perfect gift for anyone over the age of 65 Weatherstrip nails made of brass from the school
5/5

It was impossible to use another brand's copper nail heads because they were too wide. I find that this really helps speed up weatherstrip installation and removes all the frustration offered by conventional methods. Moreover, you can nail flush with this, so there is no need to go back and finish it with a punch. It's a simple tool, but it makes a huge difference within the context of.

This will save you a lot of time! It is helpful to drive staples and nails out of pallet wood when I'm working on So it doesn't roll off the work bench every time it's moved, flat sides are nice

The new ones are not as good as The current model has a thinner profile, a lighter weight, and a lower metal quality It is likely that you have always used them if you handle siding

It does exactly what it's supposed to do
5/5

Having it when I need it is always helpful. If you have ever done any type of siding or trim work, you always run into trim nails that you can't hold and nail at the same time. I used this punch the other day and it did just what I needed.

Perhaps I am the only one who feels this way
3/5

My impression of this is not near as good as the larger version. I didn't really feel like it drove nails all that well for me, but maybe I am the only one.
