Palm Nailer Information

The Grip-Rite GRTPN600 palm nailer is a durable little palm nailer, the bigger brother of the GRTMP16 Mini Nailer. It weighs in at a small 3.3lbs but it is capable of handling nails up to 6″ in size. As with other palm nailers the nose is magnetized for ease of use in tight or hard to reach places.  

This palm nailer is capable of effecient nail driving for anything from joist hangers through to connector straps including (but not limited to) ties, anchors, decking, fencing, and pole barns. The application is intended to be used for short jobs rather than heavy duty nailing over a large project. This is the perfect backup nailer to have on standby when corners get too tight for your main nailer.

Whereas the mini nailer has problems with the speed at which it is capable of nailing, the GRTPN600 has no such problems. This is a nailer that is quite sturdy and operates at high efficiency. With the nailer you will also get a comfort glove, hex wrenches, tool oil and a male coupler.

This is another very handy palm nailer that would be ideal to use as a backup to the main nail guns in your toolhbox. At less than $100.00 it won’t break the bank either.

Even in the world of small power tools there is room for a mini version and when it comes to palm nailers the Grip-Rite GRTMP16 16d Mini Air Nailer
is the baby brother in the palm nailer family. Because this is a cut down version of other palm nailers it is going to have the advantage over other tools of being able to reach places that others can’t get to.

The Grip-Rite GRTMP16 16d Mini Air Nailer is one third the size and weight of a regular sized palm nailer making it incredibly light in the hand and making it a comfortable nailer to use. it can get into all kinds of tight corners to allow a nail to be driven where other palm nailers won’t fit.

However there are a couple of downsides to using this small tool. The first is that it doesn’t have the power that other palm nailers have. 14d nails that might take less than half a second to nail in with larger machines can take up to 2 seconds with the Grip-Rite. A related problem to the low power is the fact that the nails are not always going to be nailed flush to the board. This problem seems to be alleviated as the nails get smaller and the wood gets lighter.

This palm nailer is recommended as a secondary palm nailer to be used when it is impossible to use your main nailer. It works adequately but if you are going to be performing a large job you will want a palm nailer that will give you the most efficient job.
