Ridge Runner 1,202 Report post Posted February 9 Went by harbor freight ,they had them in stock for $19 so I bought two at that price ,now you can see Bonnie in the bottom of the Pic and I think she is skeptical but what does she know she's just a dog ! Little sucker pounds a 16 penny nail in like it was nothing so I believe it will need a air valve to adjust the pressure . I guess the first step will be to make the hammer and a keeper to keep it in the nailer https://ibb.co/4wyCPVVt https://ibb.co/M5Bwv0g4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ridge Runner 1,202 Report post Posted February 9 A valve will work but I need to temper the stem ,also have to figure out how to keep it in the tool . I was thinking set screw but the cone is stainless steel and I can't find a bit to drill through it ,then I would have to tap it for the set screw. .you do need a air regulator because you need to turn it down quite a bit . If I can figure a way to keep the valve in the tool I can try it on a panel ,I have just tried it on wood so far . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aslanefe 352 Report post Posted February 10 Any reason why you are not using air impact hammer which is cheaper? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
