Per usual the answer is some kind of cartridge actuated beast that drives 7" bolts into concrete. ...or just the cheapo ryobi brad gun, I guess.

Hmm, I think the right answer would be to *borrow* a brad nailer, because I don't have a 2nd job in mind. That or see what a corded unit would set me back because I don't have a compressor and cordless brad nailers seem to be $X00. Deviant fucked around with this message at 23:48 on Jan 18, 2023 |

I rented a finish nailer from Home Depot that did the job very well, although I was putting up half round on drywall so that's a different application?

I have a 60 gallon air compressor. I have an abrasive blaster. It clogs because of moisture. I am thinking I should add a cooler to the setup to decrease the moisture in the air. I've seen two designs that look like a good idea. The first is basically an air conditioning condenser plumbed in between the compressor outlet and the tank. The other design is a length of copper pipe going up and down with drain valves at the bottom of each "valley". AC condenser intercooler:  copper snake moisture mitigation:  Which design works better? I am pretty sure the AC condenser has to be plumbed in between the compressor outlet and the tank. The up-and-down copper pipe style seems to go between the tank and the tool. Does anyone know why? I bought a fancy Makita cordless track saw. It came with two batteries. I am thinking maybe now is the time to jump from Ryobi to Makita. Makita batteries are expensive but they seem fairly plentiful second hand. Is there any decent way to evaluate the health of a used power tool battery someone else is selling? I have a multimeter. I have one of those carbon pile testers for car batteries.

Regarding brad nailer chat: This item of dubious quality may be what you're after OP. Corded for cheapness and does 18ga brads up to 1": Cheap-O Brad Nailer

There's a dewalt one but it seems it'll only do 5/8" brads which are just a little shy of what you need I would think.

I don't know which one is more effective but both versions should be able to be hooked up so they come before the tank.

Deviant posted:Hmm, I think the right answer would be to *borrow* a brad nailer, because I don't have a 2nd job in mind. two options: 1) trim head screws, we use them to fasten cabinets to each other. I'd pre-drill the quarter round, especially near the ends, to prevent splitting. Leaves an easily-filled hole 2) pre-drill the quarter round and hand-nail finishing nails. Use a nail-set to drive the nail home and slightly below the surface. Both are perfectly serviceable, just time consuming. If you have more than a small amount to do, probably worth it to rent brad nailer

Can’t you buy a pinner or a Brad nailer with a pancake compressor from HF for less than a hundred? I have the HF pinner, and I’d describe it as serviceable.

Getting down and hammering trim nails by hand or lmao using trim screws seems insane. I do love the idea of the future homeowner going to pull the shoe base to change flooring and being very confused. An 18ga brad nailer is a super useful tool to own, same with a small compressor. If you have room to store them, just spring for the tools.

I do love the idea of the future homeowner going to pull the shoe base to change flooring and being very confused. that's how people did it for hundreds of years and it worked just fine. it doesnt take long to hand nail trim even w pre-drilling, the biggest risk is a beginner missing the nail and damaging the wall or flooring brad nailer is useful if you plan on doing more trim installs but its absolutely not necessary to spring for nailgun + compressor + air hose + bradnails just to install a bit of shoe moulding.

Wouldn’t an electric Brad nailer be a better choice if you didn’t need a compressor anyway

Any recommendations for a small cross-line laser level that can be easily tacked onto walls? I need to centre and align industrial piping in smaller cramped spaces and the Dewalt laser I use is too heavy (and expensive) to sticky tack onto nearby walls. This Ryobi one looked pretty good but isn't available outside of the EU apparently But then again maybe I'm better off using a magnetic pole mount that I can just move around. melon cat fucked around with this message at 15:11 on Jan 21, 2023 |

Everybody should own a compressor, if only to terrorize your neighbors when you turn it on.

I love having compressed air in my garage, so a nailer is only what, $30-40 on top of that? Quiet ones are pretty cheap now that won't melt your brain too.

Having access to compressed air is great in concept, but imo the real-world uses for a little 2-gallon pancake compressor are incredibly limited. Maybe there are better ones than we have, but it's loud and runs pretty regularly even doing what I would consider relatively small tasks. If we were starting from scratch I would buy an electric 18ga brad nailer instead of pneumatic + portable compressor in a heartbeat.

Compressor is nice for cleaning things too. I get a lot of use out of mine. They're also batteries in a way, because you can charge the thing, unplug it, and then haul it off to do work somewhere that there isn't power, which was very handy when I was putting up screens on the end of my greenhouse.
