User questions & answers

Question: How long for pressure to build up on initial start up? Thanks
Answer: If it's not holding pressure check all connections you may have a loose one.
Question: If i buy this for my husband, do i need to buy an air hose, and if so, what do i buy? this is all stuff i know nothing about. thank you
Answer: Air hose and some attachments come with. In the future you may want to get a kit with air gun, tire inflater and changeable fittings.
Question: Can this be used for roofing
Answer: It works perfectly to run one roofing gun. I’ve bought two of them and they both could handle the work load perfectly. And to comment on one of these guys replies to your question, He said the compressor would run continuously and burn up” well that’s not only untrue but impossible. You would have to be able to lay 5 square an hour all day long not just an hour or two for it to even be remotely possible to burn up that compressor. Not saying you couldn’t lay 5 square an hour but you can’t do it for several hours straight that’s for sure. I personally have put on 11 bundles per hour for the first 2 hours and the compressor did not run continuously and even if it did it wouldn’t have burnt up. Those specific compressors are designed to click off and on as many times as you can make them do so.
Question: Can a framing nailer be used on this compressor or just finishing
Answer: Yes, I run my Hitachi framing nailer off this. Maybe 30-40 .141 x3" nails into dimensional lumber before the compressor kicks on. Could I use a more powerful compressor for framing? Sure. But the weight and cost of this thing are very nice. Would be underpowered for roofing or sheathing applications, though.

User questions & answers

Question: Is it true that the hammer is only "positive placement" for nails up to 2.5" long
Answer: Yes, pp tip for nails up to 2.5" in length. Framing tip for up to 3.5"
Question: How is it powered? Is it pneumatic or battery operated and/or use compressed gas cylinders
Answer: It is pneumatic. I've been using a 6 gal Campbell Hausfeld compressor with 1/4" quick disconnects at about 90 - 100 psi for metal connectors and 16d nails and have never run out of air. I bought it mainly for the metal connector ability, which it does great, but is also great for down to 6d nails. Just turn down the pressure on the smaller nails.
Question: Is it difficult to find nails for this hammer
Answer: Metal connector nails need to be larger around to fit properly in the holes and have the shear strength. If the nail is longer than 2-1/2 inches the gun will not fire by design. I can only find the 1-1/2 21 degree nails on Amazon and Home Depot online. They are expensive, but surprisingly, I tried some 33 degree 1-1/2 inch nails in this gun and it fires normal. I don't see any wear as a result either. I would not try this with longer 33 degree nails because they would angle out of reach of the driver. The gun out performs my old Senco SN60 by a large margin, is lighter, but about an inch taller.
Question: What is the difference between a round head and a clipped head nailer
Answer: The round head is the traditional type nail you would find in a box or bin of nails. The clipped head is the round head clipped off to the width of the nail shank on two sides--does not had the holding power of the round head.

User questions & answers

Question: Does the kit come with a carrying case or not? Description contradicts
Answer: Yes, there is a carrying case included.
Question: Power source in the description says “corded electric”. I thought the power came from the air compressor. Why am I having to plug it in as well
Answer: Trust me, it is powered by an air compressor. In fact I used mine yesterday. This is a great product. Just remember to use compressor oil in the nailer before each use.
Question: Is the trigger the only thing that activates the nail being fired? Seems less safe that way
Answer: No, the nose of the nailer must be depressed to activate the nailer.
Question: My moldings require a very accurate placement of the nail. Will the "smart point" be worth the extra money over other nailers
Answer: Absolutely. I found the placement of the brads to be very accurate using the smart point. I use this nailer all of the time.

User questions & answers

Question: where can i get 2" stainless staples for 561s
Answer: No this stapler isn't designed for that. The staples are to wide. I'm sure the air stapler you saw being used was a 1/4 inch crown stapler!
Question: will this shoot 3/4in long staples
Answer: I can’t say specifically for tyvek, but the hammer action isn’t too rough. I’ve used it on Kraft backed insulation to wall studs without many issues. I think the material under the wrap is what makes the most difference. I have used this on roofing felt, carpet padding, and insulation. I have owned it for about 8 years now and still works great.
Question: Will it load and shoot Senco Q series staples (7/16" 15 gauge
Answer: It is extremely easy to reload, simply pull out the sliding shaft, place the row of new staples in the slot and slide the unit back together. This was a particularly user friendly feature when walking through the woods posting No Trespassing/No Hunting signs.
Question: Can I staple hardware cloth (welded wire fencing) with this tool
Answer: Stamped into the metal chassis are the staple sizes actually accepted by this product, and it only accepts up to 1/2 inch staples. This hammer stapler by Arrow DOES NOT handle 9/16 staples... I tried and they won't fit.
