High-pressure Framing Nailer Excels, But At A Cost

摘要

The concept behind high-pressure air tools is simple: the higher the pressure, the more air that can be compressed into the same space. Max has capitalized on this premise and made air tools smaller and lighter than the competition without sacrificing power. The HS90 is a 21° full round-head framing nailer with a unique magazine that holds two strips of nails side b'y side rather than end to end. The short magazine makes the HS90 feel morebalanced than other stick nailers, and that balance makes it comfortable to use. Although'the HS90 weighs only 5.8 lb., it can easily bury 3 1/2-in. framing nails into doubled-up LVLs with little recoil.
