Pros and Cons

Pros4

Single claw fastener is strong enough to hold the center position of a 400 foot long 5 foot high horse fence. Reduced time and labor in setting field fence and barbed wire. Used it to add barb wire to my fencing. Great on a heavy duty hog wire (8 gaug...  Read More

Guage brad nailer does the same thing (same make of gun) however; it jammed within the first 100 nails i shot and has jammed four times since. Better find a nice comfortable place to sit down with a hand full of tools and be ready to spend 6-10 mins f...  Read More
