Designed for the construction market, where it is important to find the right combination of tool weight and working autonomy.
Since sticks contain fewer nails than coiled nails (approx. 25) and less of them are loaded into the nailer, the tool is lighter.
A simpler feed mechanism for stick nails also helps to keep the weight of the tools lower than for coil nailers for similar size nails.
This is important when you are working up a ladder with your arm stretched out.
(Remember only tools fitted with sequential trip should be used when working up a ladder).
Smooth shank nails have exactly that: a smooth appearance.
Due to their regular form they can be produced at very high speed and are therefore the most economical type of nail.
However, their holding power is the lower than ring shank nails.
They require less energy to drive them and the air consumption per nail can be lower.
Sometimes it is possible to use a smaller tool to drive them.
