howdy folks Kirk and Jay here with Kirk Giordano plastering, this morning getting ready to go to
work I wanted to show you guys the difference of these guns I'm getting a lot of people who
or emailing me saying Kirk the guns I use they're called roofing guns they're the same pw's you use
it looks like in your videos but then I got some newer ones let me show you guys the difference
these guys right here these are laughing guns and Jay and I are both laughing and plastering
contractors we both carry c35 that's our license now I've got these guys here Jay has about three
of these in his truck I actually have about two of them in the shop I went to pick two of them
up yesterday and they didn't have them ready for me that's their plan it's working because
yesterday these are the ones I like they have the extra head right here to fit a 2-inch staple so I
just went ahead and purchased one of these I've been seeing them on for sale for about ten years
now and I thought let me try a new one finally just because a couple folks have said Kirk the
sync of guns I've seen are different from the ones you show these are the newer ones I think
they're like 10 years old that's how how dated mine are but anyhow this gun right here this
is a Cinco gun we used to use past load guns then they'd all switch to Cinco right here for
laughing they also work for Roofing guns in fact this is the one I bought from my roofing buddy
across the street it had a little clip here and a clip here which kept it off the roof for shingles
so I just pulled the clips off there's not that great so I went in yesterday to get my other ones
and end up buying that anyhow this is how you do these guns guys you buy a box of staples now
this box right here you just slide these in stick it there pull this on and boom you're ready to go
when you run out you just keep putting them in here pull this and put them in here I actually
have kits in my truck to pull all this apart which by the way I've seen three jobs in the last year
that they're bumpers in here there's a tongue if you open this gate there's a tongue that comes
down and when the bumpers go bad that's when the staples puncture the paper as well as the wire
you don't want that guy so you got to know how to I can tear this gun apart about an hour and
put it back together show you some do's and don'ts don't lay your gun in the dirt because you lay the
dirt gun in the dirt this track right here gets full of dirt or sand which is even worse or the
sand goes in here and that's how all the pistons and all that stuff start malfunctioning why do I
have so many guns that are malfunction because we do that all the time unfortunately you just
get tired it's 10 hours into the day you drop your gun down and boom it's got dirt in here or worse
yet sand in here that's why I always close my box with sand doesn't go in there anyhow what was that
getting at alright these guns are designed 20 30 years ago to fit seven eighths of an inch staple
back then we had paper backing Jason sitting next to a roll of paper back now anyhow that paper back
we didn't need a shear wall so our staples were only 7/8 of an inch 7/8 means the leg needs to go
into the stud 7 H the crown is the top generally we use inch and a quarter crown staples now inch
and a quarter crown staples that's as much as this little gun that's the PW model will hold
inch and a quarter that means 7/8 of that leg is going to go into the stud even if you use it
a thick sheer wall like 3/4 most sheer walls are 7/8 or 1/2 inch 1/2 inch now me I like this gun
right here this got more power it's got a bigger piston it's able to use 2 inch staples who needs
to in staples well sometimes you still got to get that 7/8 into the stud to hold the amount
of wire that's on a house that's engineering stuff guys boring stuff but anyway this this
this particular gun right here it's all jacked up but the extra head gives me more power so
a lot of times I'll go through to flashings on the bottom a drip screen this is my perfect gun
I got two of these in the shop and hopefully they'll get ready soon this anyhow guys there
isn't there's no difference between this sink oh here this ain't cool here this is just the
updated model so when you guys email me say man I can't find that that when you're using this is ten
maybe fifteen twenty five years old guys these are the new ones that's the difference so I thought
I'd show you that I'm heading to work right now oh I might be pretty good at stucco guys but I
always forget my lunch thank you baby anyhow my name is Kirk Jason on the camera walking out the
door right now I'm taking a good gun and bringing my box of staples because we are doing laugh-in
today so anyhow folks you guys got any more questions about Cinco guns I might have missed
a few things we're in a hurry I got to get out of here and I'm forgetting my lunch and all kinds of
weird stuff simply email me if you like what we do subscribe to our Channel my name is Kirk I'm with
Kirk Giordano plaster and Jason on the camera and as usual guys what's the other next one.
