Nailer Case
Nailers on a budget: Please help pick what type/specs to get.?
I am a homeowner, but a rather ambitious one. I have never used a nailer before, but I am considering getting one. These are the projects I have in mind:
1.) Attach baseboard. (my most immediate need)
2.) Replace some rotting wood siding trim with cement board hardie plank trim
3.) Replace door casing
4.) Install paper-backed insulation in attic
I see a lot of deals coming up for Black Friday so I think now is the time to buy, but I’m not sure exactly what I need. I’m afraid of getting something too cheap to do the job, or of getting something that works great for the next job but won’t be suitable for the next project. I see a 59.99 Sears Evolv Black Friday deal, but is that too cheap to handle it all?
I am wondering if I need to look for a particular psi, a particular type of nailer, or maybe I shouldn’t try to use the same nailer for all the above projects??
The sears evolve that you mentioned is a brad nailer, this would be a thinner nail than a trim nailer. The compressor would be enough to power that nailer but I didn’t find the specs on it with a quick search. Although it may work for the baseboard and door casing (trim nailer is better choice) it would not for the other two jobs. The paper face of the insulation gets stapled to the studs, but if you are putting it towards the ceiling you would just lay it in place. The paper facing would go against the drywall. If there is already some insulation up there use the unfaced and install on top of the other. The hardi-board siding would require a thicker nail with a larger head for holding power that would be corrosion resistant being it will be exposed to weather conditions, the brad nails would rust away in a few years and the siding would need to be redone.
Wow, that was like four questions for the price of one. You are a bagain hunter.
