If you are subscribed to the HomeDepot PRO newsletter you are probably used to them sending you a lot a mail with hardly any value in them; but every once in a great while they have a coupon or sale in them that makes it all worth it. Yesterday's email was one of the rare gems, announcing an online sale on select Milwaukee Tools, Ridgid tools, Pnuematic compressors and nailers, and more. And this isn't just a regular sale, the saving on some of the items is big. An 18-Volt Milwaukee Hammer...

When 23-gauge is too small and 18-gauge is too big, Senco says their 21-gauge nailer is "just right". But unlike most pin nailers, the new Senco FinishPro 21LXP uses nails that have a slight/medium head. Senco says it delivers the holding power of a brad nail with a much smaller hole.

If you want to nail into concrete using pneumatics, usually you need a special high-pressure compressor to go along with a high-pressure nailer. Senco's new SCP40XP concrete nailer lets you use your regular air compressor yet drives up to 1-1/2-inch nails into concrete.

Antique tool collectors might be interested in this rare WW2 era pneumatic (worm drive?) Skil Saw. Some of you older tool users may have heard folklore about such a tool, and maybe a rare few have even seen this mystical tool in person.

Can an 18 gauge nail gun with a name unfamiliar to most carpenters compare to the guns made by the big name tool makers?—Well, this carpenter emphatically says Yes! In fact the Uffy finish nailer I recently used surpasses my expectations in nail guns, and over the years I've used many brands.

Two years ago I asked, Where Are The Aluminum Air Compressors? I wrote the article after draining my air compressor, seeing the rusty water come out, and wondering why they didn't make tanks out of aluminum. An aluminum tank would solve the rust issue and make the tool a bit lighter as well. In the article I mention that after a search I found Maxus aluminum air compressors, but as of now it looks like they are no longer made. Jump to today and I have found a new maker of aluminum air compressors. ...

One way to accent upholstery is to add rows of decorative nails around the edges or on the seams. These decorative nails are a nice way to add a bit of contrast, but it takes a long time to hammer in each nail by hand. Normally I would not be writing about upholstery nailers, but Uffy Tools has come out with a pretty cool new Pneumatic Decorative Upholstery Nailer (TH-T-DECO1 ) that accepts loose decorative nails and uses a mini tornado inside the tool to automatically align each nail into the magazine. Watch the video below...

The JobMax is a tool that Ridgid makes that features a corded or cordless body that can accept interchangeable heads. The System has been out for a while now, with improvements and attachments coming along the way. Now it appears the next step for the JobMax system is to go pneumatic.
