Siding Nailers

One more obvious thing about siding nailers – they are better for piercing thin wooden pieces and rubber domes. Some finishing jobs can be also done with this nail gun.

Uses

Well, as its name suggests, a siding nailer was made to install sidings. You may apply a framing nail gun to do the siding jobs, but the nails inside them are usually bigger than you require for mounting the siding. Siding nailers, on the contrary, use nails with a broader head. The shorter nails in them fit really well for piercing any siding material. Another key aspect of a siding nailer is its smooth tip, which offers the optimal control both for hard or soft substances while maintaining the siding materials safely. Aluminum nails for siding nail guns are accessible for metal siding jobs. On the contrary, it is relevant to combine a slimmer piece and two distinct materials like wood and vinyl joining. Most of us are going to try to join these materials with a framing nailer. And the outcome is going to be disappointing. Here you should pick a siding nailer that works smoother. For starters, aluminum pins as well as galvanized nails should be only picked for vinyl siding. While all roofing nails mostly belong to the same type, siding nails have specific versions that make them easier to distinguish. These tools are all the variations between the two nailers. You can also note that the side nailers are a few pounds lighter than the frame arms. A typical siding nailer weights around 5 pounds, while the coil framing nailers usually offer 8-9 pounds minimum. It makes the siding nail gun even more suitable for those repairman who need to install the siding at the height, because it would be less tiring to use.
