Numax 3 piece finish nailer kit $59.98 Home Depot

why this item over the Husky for the same price?

Internet # 203427711

Anyone who can input... why pneumatic instead of electric if all you want is small around the house jobs?

might be a dumb question, but do "nailer nails" cost more than buying them in a box of the same type of nail loose? I've never owned nail guns before, but now that I have a compressor.. thinking about getting some.

I have the numax framing nailer and it is pretty boss. Solidly built and gets the job done if you're just a DIY guy with a few projects a year. I doubt it has the longevity that a professional would need. If i didn't already have a Porter Cable finish nailer i'd probably bite on these units...

I wouldn't use HF nails in any nailer though...

What nails would you recommend?

Really good question. That one seems pretty available locally for me (though it is showing at $99 at checkout). And good reviews. I can't find any reviews for *this* numax model (though their other 3pc kit seems to be well regarded).

I know. I'll get both!

Just a quick FYI that HD also has a similar deal for 'Husky 3-Pieces Finish Nailer Kit' $59 -- not sure the difference in quality (if any) between the two brands.

Would the 3 gal HDX compressor that HD has for $20 be enough for these nailers? Or would it be better to get the 3.5 gal Porter-Cable compressor that HD has for $59?

The $20 would sink the nails assuming you aren't rapid firing them faster than the air compressor can stay above 90 psi.

I've used HF nails for dozens of projects they work fine... really, how much do you expect a brad to do but go in the wood without bending?

People who say crap like that remind me if the dimwits that would argue that $10 monoprice HDMI cables would blow up your speakers and you needed to pay $100 to Best Buy for an HDMI cable. Notice those people have shut up now huh?


And BTW, spam not withstanding, 60 bucks for 3 air nailers seems like a no brainer to me. (no experience with this brand but still)

my PC finish nailer jammed at least a couple times a strip with the HF nails and the last 4 or 5 on the strip almost always set sideways or blasted through at a weird angle which left a bigger hole to be filled. i switched to the PC brand nails and had no worries after that.

Thanks prime global. I ordered this item but will be promptly returning it when it arrives. I will get the husky model.

Quote from decolores9 : Sounds like your nailer is improperly adjusted, and you likely would have had the same problem with Maze nails or any other different brand. I've only used about 30,000 HF nails, but have had no problems with any of them.

Possibly, and likely probable, but I've run about 500+ porter cable nails through it after that and it didn't have a problem.

You know how it goes, one bad experience with a brand and you just swear off of it...

This was a great deal. I picked it up in December for $73.66.
