It had never been an issue driving my nails all the way in with no head showing in pine or oak lumber when I run my pressure between 80 and 90 psi. I am using oak and my nails won't be driving in evenly when I am using less than 80 psi.
A German company called Metabo played this role. An oil company in China purchased the oil company. Some of the parts appear to be made in both Japan and China, as well as a few others.
It says in the copy A magazine can be adjusted to fit 5/8", 3/4", 1", and 1-inch devices automatically Three sixteenths of an inch and one inch Three different sizes of fasteners in 3/8" length are offered to meet your needs on any number Pin nails aren't listed for 1/2" because they are too short. The shortest pin nail is 5/8". If you want it to drive the pin nail halfway as you requested, reducing the air pressure might assist, but may jam the unit or cause some other troubles.

My 18 gauge nailer leaves larger holes behind when doing small trim work, so I bought this nailer to fill in the gaps. Upon reading the manual, I learned that I should adjust the compressor down to 100 psi with It's harder on the nailer at higher pressures, but said it would work at higher pressures. To see how well it would hold, I just used two pins with a piece of quarter round I was planning to use and pinned it to a 2x4 to see how it would hold. I was not expecting much from it, but With only two pins holding the trim in place, I tried pulling the piece of trim off of the 2x4 and it bent back under stress but would not budge! After I finished the small job I had to do, I had to make sure I looked for all the tiny holes it left behind, almost none were visible For the casual look, it is nonexistent. Even though we needed a little bit of time to adjust to the safety trigger, there's a reason it's there Having my hands on this tool is something I am glad I now have.
The orange plastic tip is BT 1/16 - 24 The thickness is 3/32. When I fire this gun and do not put a lot of head pressure (enough to dent soft wood even with the plastic tip), the pin does not set, it sticks out by one sixteenth of an inch. In order to remove the plastic tip, I cut the hose. There is an older Fasco 23 that only shoots half the time I remember when I was 75, it was the same. By just keeping a piece of blue masking tape on the head, I do not scratch the surface and I do not have to put much pressure on it it sets into hardwood at approximately The reason why some feel it doesn't set pins all the way may be because it doesn't do that. As of yet, I have not shot full length into different hardwoods at different angles, so I am not sure, but so far, it seems to be a good gun at the price it is purchased at.
Let's talk about branding first. A year after Metabo (the German power tool company) was acquired by Hitachi, this year's E3 is set to take place. The Metabo name is now being branded on many of Hitachi's tools. Hitachi nails are made in Taiwan and this particular nail gun is made by Hitachi. A 23 gauge tool is perfect for using where you'd normally use a 22 gauge tool To make sure that molding edges don't separate, I pin outside corners of moldings to hold them in place while glue dries (to prevent them from breaking). This nailer may not be appropriate as a primary nailer for finish carpentry due to the lack of heads on the pins. Comes with a carry case, light weight, and easy to use. There is one drawback you must use the included allen wrench to adjust the depth of the pin. It turns out that at the default setting, the pin would not be flush with the surface To get the pin to set just below the surface, I had to set the tip to "maximum depth". Even if I had to buy it again, I would Compared to the price, it is of good value Keep in mind that you need to set the depth in order to get the pins.
As with many German tool makers, Metabo was long a Hitachi product, but this one is a German brand. No matter how you look at it, it is a good movie I like the way this tool is made - it's easy to use, but it's not as hard-wearing as a Senco or Porter+Cable, but it should handle housekeeping just fine. In the past, I used a 18 gauge brad nailer to attach things like quarter-inch drywall to my walls Besides being more likely to split hardwood trim, these 23 gauge pins also hold just as well, make a smaller hole, and are less likely to split round Also ideal for securing thin stock, like 1/4 inch plywood, and holding together sections that are too asymmetric to clamp, they're great for holding together parts that are too irregularly shaped for clamps. As thin as they are, they tend to wander a lot when driving a nail, and I've read that you should keep your fingers much further away from the nail than a nail's length away while you're driving it. My overall opinion of my purchase is very positive.
there are no nails in this picture (really? No so I can only go by initial feeling and appearance. This tool looks okay, cheap safety glasses included - replace them with nails would be a better idea - but mine did not come with a Allen wrench or lubricant oiler. It hasn't been too long since I received my new power tools, but now I have to wait for my nails to rest. The following update has been made since I bought the test nails A nail gun is great for working with 3/4 and 1" nails, leaving tiny holes behind that are almost imperceptible, and double-sided tape we use works great to create a smooth finish The trigger option is also quite simple to use, all in all a very useful.
My wish list for a gun that fires pins has been growing for a long time, but I couldn't justify the expense for something I wouldn't use very often. Guns like this one are suitable for the job. The price is excellent and the features are excellent. I am very happy with the case and the safety glasses that came with the package. often skip glasses when I have to hunt for a pair since I skip them when I have to find them! When I have to hunt for a pair, I often forget to get a pair!.
Pins have been fired from this pin nailer in moldings around our shop quite a few times. There has not been a single failure so far - a remarkable feat for such small I've been using Hitachi pins for a while and they work Moldings that are small (especially quarter round) should have this. One thing I'd add to the review is the safety trigger appears to be a little odd to use at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's very easy to operate.
At 110psi, with the adjustment all the way down, I can seem to achieve the deepest setting with the rubber tip in place, which is just flush to barely below the surface when perpendicular. Regardless of the angle, the pins remain in tact. When you take the rubber tip off, it's fine, but when you pin predrilled holes, the rubber tip gets in the way The finished mouldings are not something you would want to make. As I'm working in hard maple, it probably would work in pine as well.
