Finish Nailer Kit - 18g

This kit combines an exceptional finish nailer with a premium performance, compact, low noise compressor which has been specifically designed for nailing operations. It also features 10 metres of highly flexible, non marring air hose and all necessary quick connection fittings.

The 18g brad nailer is designed for furniture production and assembly, finish and decorative trim work and fine cabinet making. 18g pins have greater pull-out resistance and overall strength than headless 23g pins so they are excellent for cabinet making where a stronger construction is required to resist loading. The 18g brads measure 1.0mm in diameter and have fine heads that displace minimal material allowing you to drive tight up to an edge without risk of splitting the wood. Unlike other brad nailers, this nailer features a precision machined cylinder and piston valve, which when you squeeze the trigger results in ultra-smooth and exceptionally powerful firing of the driving pin. There is virtually no kick back in the hand, even when firing into exotic hardwoods with 50mm pins, leaving a fractional hole that can simply be filled.

The side loading magazine is easy to fill and is made from machined aluminium, accepting 18 gauge nails, measuring 19mm, 25mm, 32mm, 38mm and 50mm in length. A swivel coupling prevents the hose from tangling and interfering with the workpiece. The brad nailer operates at 5 to 7 bar pressure and can be used up to 8 bar when firing brads into dense hardwoods. The narrow nose design allows for access to tight areas and angles, and the soft polymer tip prevents marring of contoured faces. Precision engineering tolerances on the nose of the brad nailer ensure for a near jam-free operation and tool longevity and in the event of a jam the front nose has a quick release mechanism to allow for fast access and nail removal. As a safety feature, the firing mechanism will not operate until the nose of the nailer is depressed on the work piece.

The premium performance, compact compressor has been specifically designed for professional use with pneumatic nailers and pinners. The 560W motor combined with the 4 litre high pressure tank delivers up to 45 litres of air per minute from 0 to 8.8 bar pressure. It features two pressure gauges, one to measure the pressure in the tank and the other to measure the output pressure going to the tool. Once the tank has reached the pre-set pressure of 8.8 bar the motor automatically switches off. As air is used the pressure in the tank drops and the motor automatically restarts to ensure that the output pressure remains constant. You can adjust the output pressure to a maximum of 8.8 bar (125psi), by simply rotating the red dial, to allow for precise pressure settings to suit the nailer in hand. This pressure combined with the air flow rate allows for the nailing of 23g pins, 18g brads, 16g T head nails, 15g finish nails and clipped head framing nails into softwoods, hardwoods and composite woods. This compressor has been engineered to have a low noise level of 50dB.

Unlike conventional compressor hoses that are stiff, unwieldy and tangle or twist easily, this new 10 metre flexi-hose is excellent to work with. It is manufactured from a blend of polymer that has no spool memory, so it will not recoil and lies flat in use. It is extremely strong and highly resistant to splitting and abrasion and remains flexible even in very cold temperatures. The hose is supplied with two female quick connectors and two male plugs, allowing for the secure press fit connections to pneumatic tools. ©
