First Fix Nailers

A first fix nail gun is often used at the beginning of construction for structural work for deeper work that will be covered over with cosmetic finishes or plasterwork.

Our range of first fix nailers are coil nailers or strip nailers. 

Second Fix Nailers

Ideal for household DIY work, second fix nailers use smaller nails for their fixings, and are often used for a delicate and tidy finish.

FAQs

How Do Pneumatic Nail Guns Compare to Staplers?

Air nail guns are best used to drive nails into heavy duty construction projects such as decking, fencing, and assembling furniture where a strong and permanent fixture is needed.

Depending on your project, you will likely need finish nailers or brad nailers. A Brad nailer is more likely to be suitable for wood related projects, whereas staplers are most suitable for lightweight and subtle fastenings to upholstery projects or for use in other materials.

Whilst a brad nailer is typically used for smaller designs, a finish nailer is designed to drive larger and thicker nails into materials, and is often used for carpentry, installing flooring, assembling stairs or attaching trims.

What’s the Difference Between Coil and Strip Nailers?

Typically a coil nailer has a higher capacity for the number of nails it can hold at any one time. This means you can rapidly fire nails into a material, making them useful for larger projects such as flooring, roofing and decking.

In contrast, strip nailers use a straight or angled magazine of 20-40 nails at a time and are often used for precision work and smaller projects.
