Nail guns

That sound more like a "brad nailer". Bostich shows "true headless" pinners with lengths only up to 1-3/16" long. Brad nailers shoot brads that are much longer that have tiny heads.

You must have old fashioned pawn shops in your area. Around here, most everything they sell is priced so close to retail that it is not worth it.

I have accumulated about ten Sencos (staplers and brad nailers) over many years. Senco was an originator of this genre of tools. Many of the Johnny Come Lately brands seem to have joined the party when Senco's patents expired. Senco does have an active repair and parts service business. If this is important to you, you will be able to keep your tools operating for years to come. I have absolutely no connection to the brand.

Yes, if my Senco siding nailer is any measure, they need a great parts pipeline. I did buy an O-ring kit, but haven't installed it (done with the siding job).

Same here in CT.

Most pawn shops have discovered eBay, so walk-ins now compete against millions of buyers.

Remember, druggies usually STEAL tools to pawn, it's not like they own them in the first place.

What do nail shops have to do with drugs and pawn shops?

[SBH]

Perhaps they don't want to get "nailed" by the cops.

Nail guns are dangerous tools. I would not own one of them. They truely are GUNS and they can kill. The best use for a nail gun is to sell it to a recycler to turn back into raw steel to make hammers.

Buy a decent hammer, and buy some (much cheaper) nails.

[Mike Marlow]

Silly you. Guns don't kill - bullets do.

This has got to be a troll.

P L E A S E, If you feel that way, stay out of the garage.

I have used a hammer for the past almost 60 years and aside from hitting my thumb a few times, I have never been injured. I could not count the number of incidences I have heard about people getting severely injured with nail guns. Nail guns are dangerous tools, and they are costly to use because of the high cost of the nails and the amount of energy needed to operate them. If you are too weak to operate a hammer, or just too damn lazy to use your muscles, I suggest that YOU stay out of the garage. Nailguns may save a few minutes of time, but the cost to operate them exceeds the extra cost of labor to do it with a plain hammer. This does not even take into account the medical bills, pain, and loss of work time encountered when you shoot yourself or another employee with one of those goddamn guns. It's not "if" you'll get shot with one of them, it's "WHEN". Besides this, hand hammered nails hold much better than nailgun nails, which is why guys that use nailguns almost always put twice the amount of nails that they would use by hand. Nail guns should have never been invented, and those that use them should be required by law to be certified and licensed prior to using them, because it's often someone else that that gets shot by them.

Those who use the word "troll" are the REAL trolls. Your post is off topic and a waste of bandwidth.
