Porter-Cable FC350A Clipped Head 2-Inch to 3-1/2-Inch Framing Nailer

Porter-Cable FC350A Clipped Head 2-Inch to 3-1/2-Inch Framing Nailer
  • Uses 30 degree to 34 degree 2-inch to 3-1/2-inch by .113-inch to .131-inch paper collated clipped-head framing nails
  • Power to drive nails (up to 3-1/2-inch by .131-inch) into engineered lumber
  • Compact body design for better balance and style
  • Consistent power on every shot with internal piston catch mechanism
  • Selectable trigger - restrictive or contact actuation mode;Tool-free depth-of-drive adjustment with detents for proper setting of nail heads

This new nailer (the FC350A) is one great tool. Very powerful, a good range of nail sizes, not too heavy, works well even in the lower psi range. Well made, simple to maintain. I chose the clipped head over the full round head because the magazine doesn't stick out quite so far. Which leads me to the caveat. If you search for nails for this gun, you'll see many manufacturers stating compatibility. Also, you'll see sites quoting the gun works with nails strips from 30 to 34 degrees. This is not so! You *must* have nails strips of 34 degrees, except for the shortest length nails. Why? If you go to Home Depot and purchase a box of 3 inch nails, clipped head paper collated, like those from Grip-Rite (who state compatibility with the FC350) you'll notice they are 33 degrees instead of 34. This one degree difference means that longer nails don't get punched by the nailer the impact head just slides down the nail. Shorter 33deg nails sometimes work because their short length means the head is more in line with the impact head. So really the problem is in trying to obtain 34 degree paper collated nail strips. I've tried everywhere, including all the merchants listed on the PorterCable website. I finally ordered online from www.circlesaw.com who have the right range. It's a great tool, it's just a pain in the $%#$% to get the right nails, at least right now. Maybe it's still early days.

Buy Porter-Cable FC350A Clipped Head 2-Inch to 3-1/2-Inch Framing Nailer Now

I'm not sure why someone experienced problems with the 33 degree nails from grip-rite at Home Depot. I bought the FC350A nailer from Amazon and bought a box of 3 1/4 inch x .131 hot dipped galvanized nails from Home Depot. The nailer and the nails work great for me! I really love the size of this nailer. Very nice improvement over the older version. The price from Amazon is also very competitive. I am extremely pleased!!!!

Update After running several hundred Nails through this nailer, I stand by my earlier conclusions. I have not had any problems with the Grip-Rite nails from Home Depot. I plan to try the Paslode 30 degree nails in this nailer. Great Nailer!!!

I built many projects with this nailer including a pool fence, framed decks, framed buildings and framed my basement. I stand by my earier comments. This nailer is superb and the Home Depot nails work fine!

I bought one of these guns back in the beginning of 2004. I have 4 now. It's very well balanced. It drives 3 1/4 nails in lam beams with ease. As long as the preasure is right on the compressor. I like the switch on the trigger for the sequential or bump fire. And then the depth knob on the nose is handy too. I sold off my two Dewalts, two Sencos, and Craftsman framers because I never used them after I got this one. It loads like a Senco from the bottom of slide. Makes for a quick reload. Mine all have cases too which is nice. The only framer I have beside these guns is my Paslode. This gun is the right size with short magazine gets into tight spots. I have only had one problem with one them the drive broke but it was under warranty. If you want a gun that will please and take a beating at good price get this one.

I'm a computer nerd with an air compressor & pnumatic power tools. The only thing more dangerous is a father with a camcorder. I know this because I have all the above. I bought this clipped head nailer to finish off the basement, to build an office for myself to give the family more room upstairs. This thing works GREAT! This is so awesome. I put up a new wall in NO TIME, then I started looking for more projects. Standard building code puts studs 16" apart, such restraints are unnecessary when you wield such power as this. Be careful as you may find yourself nailing studs perpindicular just to keep the adrenaline flowing, or worse, tearing out old sheetrock walls to see if they "have enough support". You'll start looking for projects once you have this. I bought this because it was cheaper to buy a $100 air compressor and this $200 gun than pay someone $500 in labor to put a wall up for me [Insert Tim the tool-time Taylor grunt here]. My wife fears that we're going to be living in the next Winchester Mansion and has forbidden me from buying any more nails. No worries though, I'm not even half way through the first box of 2,500. Muhahahahaha!

Bought this gun to reframe a old gargage. Couldn't ask for any thing better. The best feature is the selectible trigger, when nailing location really matters. Never had a jam or unsunken nail.

Grex G-MAC MAC Valve with Quick Connect Coupler and Plug

Grex G-MAC MAC Valve with Quick Connect Coupler and Plug
  • Compatible with all brands and types of airbrushes, giving you the freedom to put airflow control on any of your airbrushes, instead of being restricted to a specific airbrush
  • Comes as a quick connect air coupler allowing you to easily switch between airbrushes to give every airbrush the ability to control airflow.
  • Attaches to the air inlet of your airbrush. This provides better balance compared to having the airflow control below the head of the airbrush
  • Designed with a large dial to allow easy air pressure adjustments. This is particularly helpful when spraying and adjusting air pressures simultaneously
  • Capable of achieving fine adjustments to give precise air flow control. Three full dial rotations to change from zero air flow to full air flow.

Very nice for precise adjustment of air pressure at the brush. I'm quite happy with it. Performs as advertised. Highly recommended

Perfect addition to your GREX airbrush set. I have a set installed on a 15 foot hose and another on shorter more flexible hose. Helps me change back a forth from compressors.

Love this blasting media. We use it a lot in our shop in the blasting cabinet to remove rust and old paint on car parts. It last s a long time and doesn't get the cabinet too dusty, like with silica sand or first choice.

Interstate Pneumatics LF10-L4H Pressure Switch - 1/4 FPT Four Port - Push Pull Swicth

Interstate Pneumatics LF10-L4H Pressure Switch - 1/4 FPT Four Port - Push Pull Swicth
  • 6.3 mm unloader valve connection
  • 1/4 npt female connection
  • Cut off pressure 85-125 PSI
  • Amperage rating 20 Amps
  • Four ports

Title says it all. A direct bolt on replacement part for a Harbor Freight Central Pneumatic 21 Gallon 110\120 volt air compressor. However I did have to use the supplied electrical cord nuts (threading was different from original), but supplied parts in the box, no problem at all (just had to do the install twice is all). Unit is working fine after about 3 months of use and the "kick on" air pressure adjustment works just fine. I've got mine to kick on at about 100psi instead of the factory preset of 80 or 85psi. A great buy if wanting to spend less down time instead of ordering from overseas (which could take 3-4 weeks at half the cost).

There is a rubber diaphram/seal that failed after about 4 years. All the switches I found locally were slightly different and would involve some modifications to the air lines. This is the same one that Harbor Freight/Central Pneumatic uses. They have modified the shape of the inside part of the red start/stop button. The remainder of the switch is the same.

Fast delivery and a great price. Was the exact switch that I needed to replace the bad one on my air compressor. Would recommend to all of my friends...

Want Interstate Pneumatics LF10-L4H Pressure Switch - 1/4 FPT Four Port - Push Pull Swicth Discount?

Exact replacement for my Harbor Freight air compressor.

Did have to adjust the shutoff pressure. That was easy to do, loosening the adjustment nut.

They sent me the wrong part. I had to return it and the postage was $3 more than what I paid for the original ship fee. So, I still don't have the correct part and I'm out $3. Not much money, but very inconvenient.

My compressor is still down. Waiting for the rebate.
