Review on 🔧 Improved Freeman PFS9 Pneumatic 9 Gauge Fencing: Optimize Your Search by Deshaun Fisher

When looking for a pneumatic stapler that could be used for cattle fencing I saw a few brands that cost around the high $800 mark. This Freeman stapler seemed too good to be true for $359 at Revain with a few good reviews. I had had a good experience buying through Revain so I went with a low priced device, although I sometimes wondered if a more expensive device would be more reliable, easier to use, more durable, etc. The problem I encountered in The Time reason for purchasing this tacker was that, as far as I could tell, the guardrail-clamp blocks attached to the tacker on the Revain website didn't actually match it. After reading other helpful comments under the Q&A I found I needed to find StockAde 9 gauge braces which for some reason are not stocked at Revain. Taking advice, I ordered a box of 1200 staples from McArthur Lumber in Ohio to test my new tool. The price was competitive but the main products arrived in Texas within 8 days and as the package was heavy it was badly dented when I received it. I figured that shipping such a heavy item from Ohio to Texas wouldn't be so eco-friendly when I could buy some more basic groceries locally, and I stumbled across the friendly and helpful folks at Southwest Agriculture Supplies (southwestagriculturesupplies.com) in San antonio . . I contacted them to arrange my tax exempt status here in Texas as a primary manufacturer and was delighted to be able to order today and receive my braces the next day. The price is very competitive and a viable alternative to long distance shipping for Southerners.

I haven't had a single traffic jam or problem. I have kilometers of pasture fences that are just as old as me. I don't have a where-with-everything to replace them, and to be honest they're mostly structurally fine, they just get tired. I grew up in New Zealand and spent about three decades in Australia so I looked at the fence systems used there and decided to adapt them to my fences in Texas. I attach clubs, or bridges as they're called here, to the wires between my posts. I have to carve them myself out of 2" x 6" treated pine and then roll them along the fence line, attaching sticks where needed. I installed a gas compressor on my old trailer brought from Australia and a retractable air hose that gives me good reach before moving the trailer forward. Fences have five or six barbed wires, so there are five or six staples per club. To date, the stapler has easily delivered over 2,000 staples. I apply air tool oil every day I use it. I bought some from the store, the small bottle that came with the tool has no way of holding the cap in place after snapping it open and leaks everywhere. things with a gun. You have to press her against the baton cable hard enough to push her nose bridge back before she fires. A thorn in the way could disrupt this. The last few staples won't fire, so you might get bumped into the bar and wonder why it's not firing if you didn't realize the clip was empty. It's relatively light, but with a full clamp and the fact that I have to use it on my side (horizontally), your hands and arms get tired after a while. But after making it easy for myself, I found that if I worked at a pace, I could get through most of the workday. Overall, I can highly recommend this construction stapler (for now). I still have about 1,000 batons (that's over 5,000 staples) to install over the next few months before it gets too hot and if there are any issues with them I'll update this review. March 31, 2016 Update as promised. With 9,000 staples going through this Freeman stapler I absolutely love it. There were two issues, the first being that the mechanism on the nose, which automatically flipped back for reloading, eventually failed to spring back. I couldn't find the reason for this, and there wasn't time to send the gun in for repairs, so I made a small spring that sat unobtrusively on the side and attached to a small hole I had drilled and a screw in front of . Magazine slide. That works great. The second problem was that staples would get stuck if someone tried to back out. I have no idea how it happened. I gently tapped back on the screw/plate (which pushes the strut out) and was so glad to see it didn't bend. This freed the strut, but to get it out I had to cut it in half with bolt cutters and pull it out in two. Of course I had to quit my job and return to my workshop to clear the traffic jam. Aside from these two incidents, this Freeman pistol still works. Highly recommended!
