The pressure issue is something I'm not sure about. In tight spots, I only use mine for hanger nails or toe nails. Rather than a new tool, it appears that you require a new pressure regulator.
For 1 1/2", I believe it should be fine, but 4" is a challenge.
Yes, but the nail will not be held in place by the magnet. You'll have to start by holding the nail with your hand or pliers (1 1/4 is a little short), then remove your hand/pliers and finish driving it with the nailer. The nailer is activated by pressing down on the top of the nail with the nailer.
Unfortunately, there isn't a sample box of nails included.

Driving nails isn't as easy as it used to be for an elderly Carpenter with arthritic hands and eyes. I can't speak to its durability because it's smaller and lighter than the Senco palm nailer, but it appears to be well made and will easily drive a 16d sinker in hard old fir. When I can't see well enough to hit the nail with the old Vaughan in confined spaces or dim light, this is ideal. Only four stars because its long-term viability is unknown; if it does, it will be fantastic and a five, Jim.
I've used this tool to install a couple thousand nails on a decking project in the last month, and there hasn't been a single bent nail. It's incredible and simple to use. Don't get me wrong, the macho in me wants to swing a hammer, but this tool is essential for nailing in tight quarters. The benefit: br>br> It's simple and effective. It is so simple to use that even a child could do it. (Hey kid: It'll drive in faster if you put a little weight on your palm)br>br>The not-so-good: It's a little messy at first; the first time I used it, it sprayed and dripped a lot of dark oil. I believe this is just factory assembly lube, as it has been diminishing and is almost non-existent. Look at the image. If this bothers you, simply place a rag over the tool for the first day. It is, without a doubt, an air hog. In order to regain pressure, your pancake compressor may require periodic breaks between nails. The fantastic: br>br> In my case, the magnet vanished, but it was still usable; however, it was inconvenient because it could no longer be used single-handedly. I contacted Freeman, and they are sending me a replacement with the magnet still attached! I appreciate a company that stands behind their product. br>br>It's a fantastic tool with a great price tag. This isn't the first time I've used a freeman pneumatic tool, and it won't be the last.
I'm not great at driving them straight and without error, especially larger ones like the 16d common nails required by one of the plans I was looking at. I saw a similar palm nailer (Rigid) on Home Depot's website and went to Amazon to look for a better price. This came up under the suggested products and the reviews were convincing enough, especially for the price. My friend with a truck who volunteered to help me pick up lumber and build the foundation told me to return it and rent a framing nailer when I showed it to him. I said I believed in it and wouldn't rent or buy a framing nailer, so this or a hammer it is! I used it with my air compressor (a Craftsman upright model - see below). I believe it was 10 gallons, and it barely started for the number of nails I was driving. I had no problem driving the 16d and 8d common nails I was using. It was also no problem for me to do toenailing for vertical boards. This was an excellent value and the ideal tool for the job. It's something I'd recommend to anyone who works on small to medium-sized projects. It would be inconvenient to load each nail individually if you were doing a large job, but those types of loading nails and the tools for them are a LOT more expensive. This was perfect for my needs and performed flawlessly.
When I got the nailer, it looked brand new. For the first 30-minutes, it successfully drove nails. It only nailed 50 nails, but the exhaust ports on the underside of the nailer were filled with grey grease. Grease splattered across the wood I was hammering nails into. After a day or two of light use, the nailer became stuck and began venting compressor air out the exhaust; the only way to stop the venting was to remove and reattach the air hose. It's now so bad that it won't drive a nail without disconnecting and reconnecting the air hose 5 or 6 times per nail. It's on its way back to you. br>As well, take a look at my remarks on the vendor.
I've been working on a kitchen remodel for a while now, and I think it's time for a review. I removed a load-bearing wall and used hurricane ties to tie the rafter joints into the new beam. br>br>In addition, where a window once stood, a back door was installed- I couldn't get a framer nailer in there when I was installing a new header board and some tie-ins. This has probably used 100 nails, and it leaks manufactured oil in the first 20 shots, as stated by other reviewers. Simply use a paper towel or cloth to wipe it away. They're all leaking (I borrowed a friend's Makita with a similar function)br>br>3- It's still running strong at 100psi after 4 drops of oil. br>Loud, with little recoil in the palm and a powerful drive. br>br>A lot of fun and enjoyment. br>br> This is my favorite air tool, and it's well worth the $30 price tag.
I used it to hammer some beam hangers into place where swinging a hammer would be nearly impossible. I did a fantastic job and had no trouble driving the nails in. I discovered that the magnet didn't do a great job of holding the nail in place. In a couple of really tight spots, I thought the pneumatic hose got in the way, so I had to drive my nails at an angle. To avoid that problem, I should have used a more flexible, lighter-weight air line. br>Overall, I think it's a great addition to my tool collection and will come in handy at some point in the future. Happy Hammering!.
Finally, I'm finishing up a seismic retrofit on my nearly 100-year-old home in San Diego, as per the Simpson guide. Putting the plate on the rim - It's impossible to have a joint without a palm-shaped joint. nailer. I'd never heard of a palm-sized palm-sized palm-sized palm-sized palm-sized palm-sized palm That being said, I've already heard it, as have my neighbors. a ratta- tat- tat; This is a cathartic song. By touching the sections, I added brackets - Furthermore, there will be no trips to the emergency room. I have no idea why there is a price difference. br>br> Those high-end items cost ten times as much as those low-cost alternatives. Priced nailers would have to be incredibly impressive; I don't think so. Maybe not for commercial use, but for DIY, I'm impressed and recommend it. br>br>Bring it on, San Andreas; I believe I am prepared.
I used this to nail between some rafters where plumbing and spacing prevented me from using a nail gun and made hammering extremely difficult. The money spent was well spent. I've done similar work by hand in the past and regret it. br>br>This method could also be used to secure any hangers. It's not quite as good as a hanger gun, but it'll suffice for a non-professional application. If you have less than 100 hangers, I would recommend it over a hanger gun because it is more versatile. br>br>I could have spent the time hammering those nails in, but the job would not have been as good, and I would have wasted my time.
