Round Head Vs. Clipped Head

JustaFramer · 05-06-2005, 08:47 PM

I couldn't even tell you the price of senco nails. There is so many nail suppliers out here. They all carry different brands exclusively.

while this may be a little off topic but any discrepencies about wire collated and paper
ive been looking for some ring shank that fit my gun and the only ones i can find are wire collated
instruction manual doesnt say anything about that just degree and max nail size

Old, did you delete the old partition when you reinstalled the OS? If not, I'd backtrack and reinstall, two partitions on a single drive can create some serious conflicts.

I know i just stated the obvious, but my PC crapped its pants last night, and i just created a new partition on my hard drive and re- installed my operating system (and i have no idea about these confounded things..seems simple enough though).

last night: rebuild a paslode, tonight rebuild a computer. I am now a geek, but i think i saved myself about $2000.

I want my hammer and rotary phone back. sorry for the rant.

GHB-

No conflicts as of yet...however, the old bird is still a little tweaked. The freezes, blue screen errors, and Frequency out of range problems still persist. I have a device driver issue that I can't seem to nail down. Pardon the pun. Thanks for the heads up. later.

I just picked up a box of Paslode "Full Round Head" nails for my IM325 framer. The nails were not listed for my gun but I tried them anyways. They work fine, I also used the Senco full round nails - not quite the correct angle - but they worked good, every once and a while you would get a miss fire. But as you can see, Paslode hase seen the light and is producing a full round head for their gun. I picked them up in my local (CT) Home Depot store.

MY only complaint about clipped headnails is that when denailing lumber the head tends to pull off before the nail is out.

I was originally framing in San Francisco the round head were the only ones allowed to use, plus even if I bought a cheaper clipped head framing gun I would have to buy my own nails since the round were readily available at the jobsite now I live in Vancouver, BC and everyone uses clipped head nailers. Yes the round head have the plastic flying everywhere but my hitachi never jammed, the clipped head guns may be smaller and lighter, and paper back but as soon as it gets wet it is useless you might as well hand nail. Or you can pay more and buy the metal back, which jams a well if is bent.

Here in Ontario, Round head is pretty, actually VERY rare. Don't think ive seen them ever on sites. Only place I see them is at Home Depot, and never in standard 31/4, always gals or ring shank. Now on the flip side, I use coil nailers that only come as full head nails. Wonder when clipped coils will come out?

I typically use paslode offset round heads. That is all that the yards sell now.

I prefer the clip heads. The round heads hold fewer nails per strip and they jamb in my cordless paslode too.

Imo any force that will withdraw a clip head nail is severe.

So severe I don't believe that an extra bit of nail head will help.

Any clip head nail I've ever had to pull was twice as hard as a hand driven 16d to remove.

I think it's mostly hype the clip head vs frh

Had Hitachi tools for year, the reason i own them is durability and the fact that round head nails are way less than clipped head. If you look at the fact you get 4M per box vs. 2.5m and the price is less than the 2.5m thats why i use them. I checked with Hitachi and they have off set nails that run in differnt tools that are paper, but when you shop them and other brands these nails are a lot more per 1,000. You can beat Hitachi tools for durability and the genuine Hitachi nails are great.
