Paslode Second Fix Nail Guns

Everything You Need to Know Before Buying a Paslode Second Fix Nail Gun

A Paslode 2nd fix nail gun is a good choice for professionals like carpenters who work on delicate interior trimming and detailing. It's a type of nailer that uses smaller nails, which reduces the amount of impressions and damage made to the work area. Keeping a few factors in mind can help you make a more informed purchasing decision when buying a Paslode 2nd fix nailer.

Power source options

Nail guns can be powered via different types of power sources. These sources include batteries, air compressors, or combinations of fuel cells and batteries. If you are going to work on jobs that take time, then you may want to get a Paslode nail gun that is powered by a battery and a fuel cell. This combination will give your Paslode 2nd fix gun long-lasting power.

The batteries in nailers can typically last up to five hours with a full charge, being able to fire more than 6,000 nails throughout their life cycle. A Paslode 2nd fix gun with a combination of fuel cells and batteries also has a two-minute quick-charge option. This quick-charge option allows you to fire 200 more nails after the battery loses its charge.

Air compressors usually have to be plugged into a power outlet, and they work by using compressed air to make the nailers fire the nails from their banks.

What trigger options are available?

The trigger of a nailer is what initiates the action, causing the nailer to fire the nail. There are different types of triggers you can choose from, but the most common ones include the following:

  • Contact trigger: A contact trigger fires a nail when the contact safety tip and trigger are activated at the same time.
  • Single actuation trigger: A single actuation trigger requires that both the contact and trigger be activated. It requires you to repeat the process to fire each nail.
  • Full sequential trigger: A full sequential trigger mode occurs when following a certain order to activate the component before firing the nail.
  • Single sequential trigger: In a single sequential trigger, the contact tip must be touching the surface before you pull the trigger to drive the nail.
  • Bounce trigger: A bounce trigger allows you to work fast. You squeeze the trigger, and it quickly bounces the nail out.
What is the angle of the nailer?

If you look at a nail gun, you should notice that the magazines are put in at an angle. The description for the tool should have details about the angle. Angle is important when it comes to performing jobs. Regardless of whether you plan on purchasing a new, used, or pre-owned Paslode 2nd fix nail gun, it helps to choose a nailer with the appropriate amount of angle that you need for the job you plan on doing.
