Varieties of nailing guns for concrete

Concrete assembly guns are predominantly narrow-profile tools and are mainly used by professional builders for better and more productive work. They significantly expand the range of opportunities in the construction industry.

The main purpose of the tool is to hammer dowels and nails into hard surfaces: concrete, brick, metal or cinder block. Pistols of different modifications differ in the following parameters:

• type of cartridge feeding - manual or semi-automatic;
• weight - varies from 3.1 to 5 kg;
• type of food - battery, gas, electrics or gunpowder;
• latch feed - multi- or single-shot;
• pistol length - from 345 to 475 mm;
• barrel diameter - from 8.2 to 12.5 mm;
• operating temperature - from -31 to +53 degrees.

The operation of the gun for driving dowels, nails, pins and other fasteners greatly simplifies and speeds up the installation process. Clamps are driven into different types of surfaces:

• concrete;
• brick;
• plastic;
• stone;
• wood.

It is rational to use a nail gun for large volumes of monotonous installation work. Such a tool is used for the following work:

• when conducting communications - here a quick fix is ​​created, which guarantees the accuracy of the gasket;
• for fixing the cladding material to the wall - a large number of components are quickly and efficiently fastened with special nails in a relatively short period of time;
• when fixing the roof - the work process is significantly accelerated and, thanks to the existing adjustment system, the fasteners are driven in at the desired angle.

In the construction market there are several types of fixing devices:

• pneumatic;
• gas;
• gunpowder;
• electrical.

In addition, in accordance with the method of supplying fasteners, the installation equipment is:

• manual - one charge is supplied separately for each fastener;
• semi-automatic - with this installation, a disk-cassette device is used, which feeds the fixing elements;
• automated - the device is equipped with special cassettes that provide a constant supply of fasteners.

The most popular device among professionals is the air gun. Its features include the following indicators:

• simplicity, reliability, durability;
• speed of work with minimal time costs;
• compactness;
• low cost of a shot (compared to other options);
• makes little noise;
• a compressor is required during operation;
• needs an electric current.

The gas mounting nailer is specially designed for high-quality and fast installation - especially for cables and beams. It is convenient for them to work on any surface, as it is maneuverable and small in size. This type of gun is powerful, so fastening to a hard surface is effortless.After application, the work area must be ventilated to get rid of exhaust fumes. The combustion chamber should also be cleaned systematically.

Powder pistols work like firearms - when the cartridge is empty, energy is generated. Such a tool has all the properties of a weapon for shooting: recoil and a powdery smell.

New models have special safety locks that are unlocked only when the tool is pressed into a specific place for fixing. Old brands did not have this kind of blocker, which sometimes led to tragic consequences. All nailer cartridges have the same caliber, but differ in sleeve length and charge capacity.

Dowels up to 80 mm are inserted into such a device. They are of two types: ordinary and with a hat. A special permit is required to purchase such an assembly gun.
