Anybody familiar with the Prime Air brand of air tools? Have to purchase a palm nailer, and all I can find locally is Prime Air. Wanted a Porter Cable, but don't want to wait for delivery, plus it's nearly twice as much.

I am not familiar with Prime Tools, but with tools you get what you pay for.

I have made the request and management has turned on the "codes" in this forum so that links are now clickable and pics can be posted.

My god! Why did I wait so damn long to buy a palm nailer? I bought a Porter Cable palm nailer to assist in installation of new header for large living room window. I had to install new king studs, trimmers, and my all-time hated item, short cripple studs. Using a small compressor ( 6 gallon, 2HP) I drove 5 pounds of 16d nails without a single miss, no bent nails and no split wood!. Can't wait to use it on OSB sheathing for same wall. I was always afraid of big nailers, but this palm nailer drives all kinds of nails from finish nails up to 40d nails. Wish I had it when I stick-built my 16X30 lawn shed. I bet I went 1:1 on nails on that project. One good driven nail for each bent one!
