Concrete Nailers


Does anyone have any experience with concrete air nailers. They don't seem to exist in Canada yet and I was wondering why. I've researched the internet and found them available in the US, but I'm not sure if I can have one sent to me. The nailer uses a 14ga t-nail...do they work for installing tackless? If anyone has any hands-on experience with them, I'd love to know.

Re: Concrete Nailers


The only concrete nailers i have experience with is the powder actuated like the remington and the case hard frameing guns. I have used my Remington to put down tack strip before but its not very cost effective and depending on concrete it doesn't hold any better than hand nailing. On really hard concrete I drill and use anchors with costs a lot but it will never come up.
