Anyone used new B&Q 18V Nail gun?

My view is that it's crap...the only reason for using a nailgun is speed, this will be slower than doing it manually, unless you only have one arm, then it will be a godsend.

Seems to me that if you need to load each nail individually, then it defeats the main advantage of having a nail gun to start with. I suspect this is one of those things that gets wheeled out before Christmas, only to languish unused on the top shelves of garages and sheds in thousands of homes the rest of the year.

But it's manual feed not magazine, you'd have to get good at spitting the nails into the gun, or use a foot !!

If it's the thing I read about elsewhere, it actually bangs the nail in like a hammer1 :))

I have a second B&Q nail gun that fires a clip of 40 mm nails. It is crap. I might find a use for it on a glazing job if I ever get one big enough to warrant geting it out the cupboard.

a la Homer Simpson's invention?

No that was Edison's ;-)

Dunnu, but I found someone last week complaining bitterly about a "nail gun" from a shed that had no magazine and when he tried it, it went bang, bang, bang, very slowly and hit the nail in. I remembered it because it was so funny. :))

ROFL :-)

Wasn't this covered here about a month and a half ago? I think the poster returned it because it was crap.

Its crap. I bought one and took it back next day.

Search for my previous post about it.

It looks well priced and solid. I very rarely use nails and an Impact Driver using screws, even 6" screws, is better than nails.
