FAQ

1. What’s the difference between pneumatic, gas, and electric concrete nailers?

Concrete nailers come in three main types—Pneumatic, Gas, and Electric—each with distinct advantages depending on the jobsite and usage frequency.

• Pneumatic Type
  The pneumatic concrete nailers are powered by compressed air and are the lightest and most consistent option. They are more cost-effective over time, thanks to lower operating costs and no need for fuel cells or frequent battery replacements. While they require a compressor and air hose, most contractors already have these on hand, making pneumatic tools a practical and efficient choice for professional users.
• Gas Type
  The gas-powered concrete nailers offer cordless mobility and are well-suited for outdoor or remote work areas. However, they require both fuel cells and batteries, which adds to the running cost and maintenance. They’re typically heavier and best reserved for jobs that demand flexibility rather than volume.
• Electric Type
  Whether battery-powered or corded, are often chosen for indoor or occasional use. They are quieter and don’t require fuel, but they are less powerful and may be limited by battery life or cord length, making them more suitable for light to medium-duty tasks.

2. What types of nails are used in a concrete nailer?

Concrete nailers use hardened steel nails designed to penetrate tough surfaces like concrete, masonry, and steel. The nail size and length should match your tool and application. Also, these nails come in various shank and point types to suit different fastening needs:

• Stepped shank: Stronger hold in hard materials.
• No-stepped shank: Smooth penetration, less material splitting.
• Ballistic point: Fast, clean entry into concrete.
• Pinch point: Grooved tip for extra grip.
• Smooth shank: Easier to drive, ideal for concrete walls.
• Knurled shank: High holding power, great for fastening to steel.

3. Can I use a concrete nailer on metal surfaces?

Yes. Many heavy-duty concrete nailers, including pneumatic models, are designed to drive nails into light-gauge steel and metal tracks. Be sure to use nails specifically rated for metal applications to ensure safe and secure fastening.
