Milwaukee 7120-21 3/4- to 1-3/4-Inch Coil Roofing Nailer

Friday, February 23rd 2007

This coil roofing nailer is one of seven new heavy-duty air-powered nailers from the venerable Milwaukee, and the whole series is another testament to the red label’s unflagging quality. At the top of our list is how incredibly light Milwaukee’s nailers are, even fully loaded, and their compact size makes them a cinch to tote and use, especially in awkward positions. But a close second is the clever inclusion of a magnet that holds onto the nails...

Porter-Cable 557 7.5 Amp Plate Joiner

Monday, January 22nd 2007

Though this Porter-Cable tool is priced higher than comparable DeWalt and Makita models, the 557 is Amazon.com’s top-selling plate joiner.

As well as cutting slots for the standard no. 0, 10, and 20 biscuits, Porter-Cable’s joiner...

Saturday, January 6th 2007

To be honest, we looked twice at the price, certain the folks at Amazon had made a mistake. But sure enough, they’re right–and so is the price. Porter-Cable makes some of the best pneumatic tools in the industry, and these nailers are two prime examples. The 16-gauge is sturdy, compact, lighter and quieter than you’d expect with a grip even smaller hands can get around. Great balance, easy depth-of-drive adjustment, and a pleasure...
