howdy guys, Kirk and Jason here with Kirk Giordano plastering, its the end of the day we're in Contra
Costa, we started off about a hundred degrees got about 107, and now it's finally cooling off,
it's about 90. I love the hot weather, anyway today I want to talk about these hammer tackers,
Only because about 15 people called me.
They email me and see all the videos we have which is over 700 and they say hey Kirk, what kind of, they ask me all kind of questions, the last one was what
kind of hammer tacker do you use? People call These all kind of weird names, slam-bang, but it's a
hammer tacker guys, because they got the hammer in the effect they like for paper your hammering and that
attaches the paper well. All you folks just say what kind do you use? You know arrows been making
them forever these guys here are Arrows they got all kinds of fancy types of hammer tackers, in fact
I bought one time a few years ago and it had a razor blade for cutting, it had a TV, at the end of the
day, I chucked it in the garbage. Even though I paid 60 bucks for it. Just that useless these guys right
here these arrows there are some of the best. It's got a chamber here you pull it up open here,
and it takes two loads what does that mean? like like the Uzi gun you put one load in, you put your
second load in and it should take two, unless you've got the few jammed in there, goes
so that's a lot of staples, you, you can you could use these guys to attach your carpets, roofing, you
name it I've seen guys do upholstery with them, you can do all kinds of stuff with these arrow tackers
and they come in all kinds of sizes for lathing guys, get the three-eighths that's a 10 millimeter
anything bigger like the 12 millimeters, is too big too long, and the six millimeters too short,
So it's like the three bear story goes with the one in the middle, ten millimeters these guys right here
we buy, by the case. obviously big cases of them, you can buy these little guys too for
you homeowners. Where guys like us, Jay and me and the rest of the guys, we keep an about, O'ooo about
six or seven of these guys are in the truck all the time. I generally put my name on all my tools, not
because I think anybody's gonna steal them, but because sometimes we leave them on the job and
somebody would call, and say hey Kirk, I found this hammer tacker, it's got your name on it is it yours? That's
why we mark all of our stuff, anyhow I wanted to show you guys what we do. Okay, you put your
paper up there and you, you tack down your paper can you do the wire, like here's this wire is loose?
It's hanging all over the place, can you do the wire? I sometimes will I'll attach it and what I'm doing
is I'm attaching it through this skinny wire where it's overlapped right here, where it's intertwined
it sometimes jacks up, jacks up your keys in here or if you hit this metal. There's metal here this
is a weep screed. if you hit this metal and you hear that, you do that five times and these are no
longer any good guys, so keep the hammer tackers up and keep them, four inches above
just like that, of what you'll generally do guys hitting Jason and I, about six months ago he went
a fella emailed me a picture, it was a big wall it was twice the size of this gable we got out there
and I said dude how come you didn't staple it? He says well I did staple it, I said where? What,
what he meant was he stapled it with these, the hammer tacker staples. I said man, that's, that's
Okay to attach paper but you could, you could attach the wire temporarily until you bring
out the big gun. But you have to staple it and yeah anyway it was a funny story because it says well I
saw you doing it, and I thought, you might have saw me holding this up, but you're going to attach wire
a little hammer tacker staples aren't gonna do it, and by the way, they work the same as these little
guys here for practical purposes, any way you guys asked me about those hammer tackers, I'm showing
you everything I know about them. Here's how we attach the wire seven-eighths of the staple has
to go into the stud, and always wear your glasses guys we're getting ready to call it a day, because
there's no way we're gonna finish this and it's getting dark, and we're tired, anyway just thought
I'd answer that question since you guys asked me a lot of good questions and sometimes simple stuff
such as these, but since we use them now for 30 years. I'm just telling you which ones we prefer
and why, anyway my name is Kirk, Jason on the camera we thank you for watching it as usual guys we'll
