How it works
The user loads collated framing nails into the angled magazine, installs a charged battery pack, then selects sequential or bump fire mode as needed. Pressing the nosepiece against wood activates contact trip safety—pulling the trigger delivers instant power via brushless motor technology to drive each nail flush into timber efficiently.
