I fixed a fence and new poultry yard to help my neighbor build it. Strong galvanized staples were a suitable option. If you've ever made a fuss about hammering them, you know an air tool is the way to go. It's great to use once you get to know its features. First, make sure you use a good quality air tool oil from the start. Second, this device is pressure sensitive. Great for 90psi, wheeling issues at 80psi. Third, the magazine refill latch is not machined to a tolerance that ensures reliability. Don't let the picture fool you. This is probably the largest nailer tool out there, and the side handle is there for a reason. It's a nailer on steroids. While a standard 2-5 gallon "contract quality" compressor will work, it's an air hog. It is important that the compressor maintains the correct pressure. I'm looking for a remote solution to work with my Gator. For now it will be a CO2 solution.
