framing nailer

Strange how you adapt for who you work for hey.   All my clients and builders i work for don't mind spending money so I can work how I like  as you know performance screws especially them long Eco screws I use for roofing are not cheap.

Its nothing to do with money its just the way it is, obviously when I work for a subby I only supply labour usually so I would use their nails screws etc.

Yeah money doesnt come into it take my word for it  [laughing] ;D one guy we do work for invented the chip and pin on your credit card he's worth BILLIONS and knows how to spend it. I should think he owns most of Knightsbridge too  [laughing] and part of the Virgin formula one racing team

i use a bostich gun but nails are a pain to get and not much ceaper either but they are 3.1mm rather than 2.8mm. i use this for studding only but not used it for a long time due to mainly studding in metal now

That's a good point, Dean!

A lot of builders are going with metal framing and self tapping screws, so that impact driver is the way to go if you think that'll happen.

Metal stud I hate Metal studding horrible stuff!  Only any good if you cover it with plywood first before plaster board.

i do it in commercial stuff with 2 layers of 15mmsoundbloc either side a 50mm stud. Even 4m high it feels like blockwork

Yeah that's what we do if we use metal stud we put a layer of sterling board on either side. Usually what they spec for schools .

 

[Deansocial]

The spec i said is for schools. it is for sound fire and impact resistance.

This job I'm on has metal studding all over the entire house all external walls have had metal studding in front.  Some of it being umm I think 7/8 meters high it's crap!  You hit the wall with your fist it sounds tiny/rattely

I must admit not being big headed like but if I had done the metal studding in that house it would of been a better job so less tiny and rattly but still don't like the stuff.  I'll take some pictures and do a video show you what I mean I might pop over 2moro if I feel like it  if not it will Thursday I'll be their.
