Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Oct 26, 2012 12:39 pm Hi! I need to buy my brother (an apprentice carpenter/builder) a Paslode fix out gun. Can anyone advise which one is the best? Fix out gun seems to be a generic term so I'm not sure what the brand or specific type of gun is. And yes, I am a tool novice! Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Re: Fix out gun 2Oct 26, 2012 1:49 pm I have been using for the past few years a paslode angled fixing gun. Works great, highly recommended! Re: Fix out gun 3Oct 27, 2012 12:13 pm By 'fix out gun' I assume you mean angled or straight Paslode gas nail gun. I have the angled (fix out) bradder and its only given me grief once when the contacts were loose/dirty, but there are some, like most things, that give continual trouble, see – http://www.woodworkforums.com/f14/paslo ... ue-148977/ They dont handle dirty conditions or rough use and if only a casual user they are not for you as you will usually find the gas has expired when you go to use it. It will depend on where you live, but if he is in the market for a framing gun, Im about to advertise mine. Arfur Re: Fix out gun 4Oct 27, 2012 2:58 pm Fix out usually means doing the finish carpentry after the gyprocker has done all the walls and ceilings and the tiler has tiled all the wet areas. He'll be fitting all the architraves and skirting etc so something that fires a 50mm "C" nail is what you are after. Paslode is just a brand not a type of gun. Most of the standard brands like Senco, Hitachi, Bosch or Bostich etc use compressed air but Paslode are almost always gas fired as opposed to running off a compressor like the others. Stewie Hey guys, what’s everyone opinion on James Hardie linea direct fix to frame? Would this be the most common method and anybody ever had any problems down the track? 0 5151 DIY, Home Maintenance & Repair If the railhead is so poorly fixed it is also likely that the railhead is also non compliant, what about overflows and sealing railhead to the gutters?. 3 5970 |
