Okay idea Alan but to make that big hole in the timber to allow the puller access onto the nail seems a backward step!!Quote:

Furthermore, instead of a whirling power drill sound, which is as common as anything, you get a very satisfyling
Phutt DING (but the "ding" is dependent on what or who you aim it at)
Repeat after me (numerous times):
Slip the butt kicker sleeve over the bent nail
Straighten it (more or less will do)
Blow the crap out of it into a bucket
Rinse & repeat
Rinse & repeat

This morning I managed to score two car loads of 75x35 pine from a renovation. Lengths from 600 to 1800, and plenty of them. I would have scored it yesterday but that was Spinner's Day here in Katoomba (aka Winter Magic Festival to celebrate the winter solstice), and I'd have had to run over too many hippies, hippos, weirdos and all other manifest of spinners.
Nails sticking out everywhere in clusters of up to 4.
I'll time how long it takes to do "x" number of nails, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's something like 2 seconds per MAX excluding stick changing time.
Maybe I'll even shoot a video, but I have software problems with my POS P&S camera atm.
you missed the best bit...the HUGE counterbore to get at it?Quote:

Nah, saw at least 2 seconds of the counterbore - that was what made me close the tab.
Holy cow! Where was that nail kicker when I was de-nailing my old floorboards?!?!?!
Wonder if I can fit one into the reno budget anyways...
I did about half of Saturdays score this arvo. It takes about 1 second per nail - the slow bit is slipping the sheath over the nail. Including gathering and changing the sticks I must have blown out ~400 nails in about 60 minutes. There were more plaster board screws than nails to unscrew but there were plenty of nails in each stick......
You're not helping my financial situation here...
Did you order directly off these guys or through something like amazon?
With apologies to Jaff for an extended sidetrack.....
I ordered direct from them. I didn't bother get it sent to my Shipito address as the freight was pretty reasonable. Their service was excellent.
Hi Brett, What model Nail Kicker did you buy?
I see there are a bunch of sizes available.
v20 with 4mm and 6mm heads.
Hi Jaff ..... what sort of lengths are you able to get your hands on?
Hey jaff if you could get it to wa I think I'd be pretty interested! Could you find out a cubic meter rate and additional cost for shipping?
