Thanks gumboots...it's a bit pricey for now (though probably still good value?), I got a compressor reserved though will wait on the sidelines for the kit to be reduced!

Exactly my thoughts about the price, hence my earlier post!

As Scotboy mentioned, the same kit is available at Halfords for 79.99

There is 1 available in redcar argos if anyone is looking for one.

Makro have a 5 piece Nu-Tool air tool kit for £19.99 plus VAT: includes spray gun, air jet gun, tyre inflator, degrease gun and hose.

Also the new Makro Mail effective from 16/8 has an Air impact wrench set for 19.99 plus vat: includes impact wrench, air dust gun, tyre inflator, three sockets and hose.


Might be better than 67 pieces for £79.99 some of which may not be useful.

Thanks Scotboy.

just picked one up.

Cant be bad for £35.00 especially since I had vouchers that wanted using.

Anyone that is intereted in this item - the paperwork that comes with it is from HILKA so I assume that these are the manufacturers.

Note that the nail gun operates on 18mm brads - not much thicker than a panel pin.

Bit of confusion here:

Thickness is 18 gauge brads not 18 mm.

Maximum length is 50mm as OldNelly points out.

HTH

They are nowhere near as thick as standard floor-board brads but should be ok for panelling etc. Might even be OK for floor boards - try it and see?
