About the Framing Nailer
This is Brad McMahn for Expert Village. We're going to talk about framing nailers. But first I'd like to get into the different types of framing nailers. This one here is a D-head or a clipped nail, as you can see its got one edge that's cut off and they're all in a tight clip. The other type would be a full round head and they're separated. The Clipped head has a shorter magazine and the full round head comes out about another good 6 inches. I prefer this one because it gets into tighter spaces. The use of a framing nailer is to shoot framing sized nails or eight penny nails, basically common nails that you would buy. It saves a lot of time from hand driving and you load them into the magazine, click it in and it's as easy as that. There's a lot of different types of tools, this is a Senco, one of the top of the lines. It comes in various different makes, models, along with the round head nailers, there's coil nailers, where the magazine here is basically a cylinder that you'll load in a long coil of nails and that takes up even less space than this.
