Hey, what's up everybody its Kyle and welcome back to another tools day. Thanks for joining us again
And today we're gonna go ahead and talk about a tool that needs no introduction. So let's just get right into it
Okay guys, so this is the fast go model number f91 AC
Otherwise known as the Jumbo nailer. I think that comes from the sheer size of it. Usually when people see it
They think it's just gonna weigh a million pounds
actually
It only weighs 20 pounds so still extremely heavy but we use this gun on sight
Every time we frame up a building because it will shoot from a four inch to a six and a quarter
nail now that is Imperial if we're gonna talk metrics that's a hundred and one millimeters to
158 millimeters so that is one
monster nail now what's even more impressive is that
This gun will shoot in a ring shank six and a quarter inch nail when you're talking about like a standard
Pneumatic framing gun this is gonna shoot up to a three and a quarter ring shank nail
So not even close to what the capability of this nail gun is and yes at twenty pounds
It's not something you're gonna take up on the roof very often. You're gonna be tethered to air
So there are some limitations to this gun obviously being tethered to an air supply the sheer size of it
I don't have a rafter hook although you can go out and get a new hook which is a which is a brand of aftermarket
Rafter hook goes right on your air supply
But it's kind of cumbersome. So we always use this on the ground
We're just the sheer weight of it, you know is all down low. So we're not taking it above our heads
Thanks to its simple design. There's really no bells and whistles to it. It's very rugged. It lasts. We've had this on site for over
Probably a year and a half had zero issues with it. It's got a
Justa bULOG sauced port you. Definitely want to make sure that's not
Facing right at you because it'll blow your hat off below your safety glasses off
and I definitely recommend wearing safety glasses because this thing shoots out little chunks of whatever the
Plastic collation is so definitely keep that in mind one of the things that a lot of people always ask me is Kyle what PSI?
Do you have to run to shoot a six and a quarter nail? Well, actually it's only about hundred and twenty psi max
I usually run my compressor around
110 and that's just because we're typically only using this for our 4 inch or 4 and a quarter
Ring shanks that we use to frame up our building like most guns. You're gonna have a dry fire lockout which will prevent you from
continuously firing once you're out of nails and as far as the magazine goes you're able to put to full strips of
25 nails so a total of 50 nails and the big thing for us is that this has saved us from hand driving a
Typical post frame nail. This is a 20 penny ring shank galvanized framing nail
It's not just a 16 penny slick
So there's quite a difference and a lot more effort goes into
Driving one of these and by by going out getting the fast go jumbo nailer and bringing it to site
I've reduced the amount of time that it takes to build a wall from multiple people
Swinging a hammer to one guy with one nail or framing up an entire wall in less time
So this thing is over a thousand dollars. Sometimes you can find it on some certain deals
But it's a thousand dollar nailer that I promise you saved me
Probably more than that in the first couple jobs. I used it on so it's a great investment
Maybe you're not a post framer
maybe you do residential construction and you're dealing with
Headers or large Timbers and you got to drive in some four and a half inch nails and the triple plies or whatever
This is a great option. It's one of those tools you don't use every day
But when you have it, I promise you'll find uses for it and it's gonna make you money and make you less tired
Alright, we've talked enough. Let's get outside and let's put this thing to work
So this is the sort of stuff that drives me to cordless setting up hoses turning on compressors the
Background noise so fast go try to get us a cordless version sometime soon, please
Got a little bit of a mist out here
Hearing protection. Like I said is important as well as eye protection
All right, we're ready to fire
We'll just go ahead and shoot some in here so you can get a feel for it
Check out the recoil a lot of people assume. It's gonna have a monster recoil. I think it's actually fairly balanced
Thanks to the weight of it
So
So you can see here the adjustable dust port you definitely want this facing away from you it has some major blowback
So hopefully you can see here the nail depth it is sinking these
Four inch nails ring shank no problem. This is a three ply treated
Column that we would use on site
But what's really impressive is when it shoots a full six and a quarter
So let's go ahead and load up some six and a quarter
Six and a quarter
So what we're gonna tip eclis use six and a quarters four and I do use them on an occasion
It's shooting through a two-by-four not flat but standing on edge. That's how we run all of our purlins
So I'm actually gonna go ahead and shoot straight through the two-by-four
That's the way our purlins line up and that's what we use our six inch nails for
Okay
I might not have my psi up enough. I don't know what it's at. Actually I
Actually might not have my psi up like I said earlier
I usually only run it at like 110 and for the six inch nails you got to bump up the pressure on the compressor
Okay, hopefully that it was the answer because I've done this many times, okay
Well, you know what that is what it is
I'm not sure if it's a material thing or could be a supply thing with my air
If you can't tell this thing takes a huge gulp of air
So it really doesn't require a lot of pressure
But it requires a lot of air so I'm only using a quarter inch hose that might be a lot that has to do with
What's going on? So just for a little comparison, this is the Hitachi
83 a a five it's going to shoot a standard three and a quarter
Smooth framing nails I'm gonna do a test just to kind of show you why
We don't just use a nail gun like this and we opted for the fasco jumbo nailer
so first
I'm gonna go ahead and I'm just gonna shoot a couple nails into this piece of to buy and
Then we're gonna try to pry it up
Okay, two nails
Okay, I know I use the power of leverage but I'm hoping what you see is how easy these came out of the
Material now we're gonna do is I'm gonna do the same test
But I'm gonna use the fast go with the four inch ring shank nails
Okay. Now let's do it with the Jumbo nailer this time. I'm only going to put one jumbo nail in
That's my family farm just drove by in the semi so my wife's okay
Now we're gonna pull this 20 penny nail from the Pasco gun
Okay, now the reason I did this is I wanted you to see I knew that the power of leverage was going to allow me
To pull out either one of these nails, but this is the part that you got to see
This nail is not going to come out of the material nearly as easy and that is because fasco has this
Diamond coat finish. I don't remember the exact terminology
But it basically does two things
it helps the nail be driven in much more efficiently requiring less psi on the gun and it
Definitely increases the hold ability almost like a glue when it goes into the material
So you're gonna pull the head through the material probably long before you ever pull that nail out of the material
Which is not the case with a standard framing three inch nail. So there you have it guys
So the jumbo nailer is not your everyday nailer, but it has its place
it has its applications and it definitely
Does a job that a standard framer cannot do so for us for guys that are using large Timbers?
It's I think it's a game changer. I think it's something that you have to have and it's a worthy investment
So like always
Let me know down in the comments if you guys have any thoughts
About this nailer what you think about it or what you might think another
application would be good for so we can help each other out that's kind of the whole point of this series talk about tools and
So make sure you're subscribing to the channel so you can catch the next one hit that Bell
So you're notified right away and like always I appreciate you guys's support and we'll see you next week on tools day
Hey, you make sure you guys are checking out the current build series
I got the dream shop going on and make sure if you haven't go look at the other tools day videos
But me I'm getting out of here because the rains coming and I don't like my tools getting wet
