3PLUS HMPN50SP Pneumatic Mini Palm Nailer

For the price and the power, this is a must have for anyone with an air compressor. Unless your compressor sucks. This blasts big 16 penny 3.5 inch nails so fast and flush, I actually laughed the first time I tried it. I made sure everyone got to test of the max performance of my new favorite. Forget the hammer. Why bother when this little guy zips a nail in faster than a single hammer blow, and tight spaces are its specialty. You can find other models for a higher price but you can also get this for the lowest price on Amazon. Keep it properly oiled or don't bother using air tools.

I was building a deck and decided to get this little guy to help drive around 750 nails I had to drive. Could not be happier with my purchase. Hooked it up to the air tank and it immediately went to nailing. I went hard at it for one afternoon and the next morning and it never missed a beat. I stopped a couple of times to put oil in it but for normal use I think a couple drops at the start should be good. One minor thing to be aware of. There is a little magnet in the outer rim that is super helpful. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a lot of adhesive on the back so it fell out at some point. I was fortunate to be able to find it on the black paper I had down, but it would have been impossible in the grass. I put some glue on it and popped it back in the hole. It was just a minor inconvenience in an otherwise great tool. I’d recommend it to anyone with some nailing to do.

I like the price. The build quality seems higher than I’d expect for the price. It is a bit smaller than I expected as well. I took it out of the box and didn’t read any instructions as there were none. I added a bit of oil as usual and plugged it into the air line. It worked pretty well but does have some issues with power. I did not know what PSI to use. 50 was too low. 75 was ok. I didn’t want to go too much higher but 85 seemed to work well. Without knowing the max I didn’t want to have something explode while holding it. I used it to frame up a base for a greenhouse I am building, which is basically a floating deck. I used it to hammer in about 220 three inch nails today and it worked very well. One trick is not to push too much. The hammer action works best when it has a long stroke, so pushing the nail hard will make a rapid fire sound, and barely push the nail into the wood. I found it best to push against the nail until it started, and then push a little further and the stroke was a slower pulse but more effective. It was not overly loud but I still wore hearing protection. All in all a good value for a tool I plan on using rarely.

Just put about 400 nails in joist hangers with this. Well worth the money. The vibrating looks worse than it feels. It seems like a little slower works better than trying to push hard and go fast.

Use it on the job. Works great.

I wanted to add I'm new to palm nailers and finally figured out a good way to use them. I gradually tack a nail with one or two taps, then I can reposition the nail head and drive it in. Before I figured this out I was knocking them in crocked. I bought 2 ea of the bostitch air coming out of the back, and hitachi jammed on 4 nails. This unit is 30% cheaper, and the main thing is the driver inside the housing is almost as large as the opening for the nails. I had questions on the other units where my nail heads were 1/2 on the driver and 1/2 off due to the magnet pull, on this unit the nail heads are 3/4-7/8 on the driver and on tests I did not get bent nails on my tests with 3d 1/5" nails. Only real negative is the plastic feels a bit cheaper (no idea if this is true/weaker) and the top does not have the heavy rubber the Hitachi has. Main thing, I was able to use it without jamming (this is on tests only will use in the next week for real).

Don't buy. Right when my boyfriend pushed a nail, the magnetic part fell off and won't hold the nails anymore. He also said that its not as strong as the one we got form Harbor Freight. Just don't waste your money with this one. Very cheaply made and does not work as good as it should.

Amazingly compact unit. I bought this to modify into a planishing hammer for automotive bodywork. I did test it, and it is very powerful for it's size, and should work well for my purposes. For the price it's a great value.

Tut was es soll. Perfekt für schwerzigängliche Stellen. Preis-Leistung perfekt.

Aun no lo pruebo parace de buena calidad, solamente venia pésimamente empaquetado, viene desde Estados Unidos, por dentro la clavadora y los accesorios venían en movimiento, sin niguna espuma algo que impida que lo que viene dentro de la caja se dañe, venia con una botella con aceite lubricante la cual se abrió y se derramó en el interior del paquete, al llegar la caja se veía como el cartón habia absorbido el aceite derramado.

Small lite powerful nailer

When i first saw it i was shocked it was so small, but when it came down to it WOW! this nailer is fantastic, really sped up my project getting into small spaces where my nail gun was to large, I would recormend this unit it's well made and works great.

Works great! Does the job.
