I appreciate the advice/solution, but it seems like most of the folks here know a lot more about tools than I do, quickly figured out what I'm really asking, and gave me good advice. I've now already ordered and received a Ryobi P325 One+ cordless 16g finish nailer. The one I ordered didn't come...

Reply from my father regarding use case and additional information: I would only use it for light duty such as fastening trim. Cordless with battery is fine for this, or corded is also good. I want to avoid pneumatic.

I don't, but I'll ask and report back. I won't have more information until the morning, unfortunately.

Thanks. I could actually tell the pictured product was trash. It looks like something that's made in China. That's the main reason I started this thread-- I want to get my dad something higher quality. This is just completely outside of my wheelhouse. I will take a look at Dewalt's offerings. I...

Looking for a corded tool. I just fixed my post. Thanks for the heads up. The Amazon link goes to a 2-in-1 product that is both a staple and nail gun.

My father wants a nail gun for Christmas. He sent me a link to an Amazon product that is not for sale (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BFB8WH5J/?tag=atomicindus08-20). I'm wondering what a much better brand of nail gun with the same functionality would be. I've been looking at DeWalt and Ryobi, but...

It's for a travel toolkit of mine. I've got some fairly small diagonal cutters and needle nose pliers already, but they're a little too big for my kit.

Thank you. I just ordered that set. I won't receive the tools until October 2 though.

Greetings, folks. I'm looking for the shortest Knipex needle nose pliers available. Same deal for diagonal cutters. I saw some 110mm diagonal cutters on kctool.com. I haven't been able to find a shorter pair anywhere. I'm wondering if a 100 or 105 variant exists. As far as needle noses go, I...

First of all, that may be the most awesome swimming pool I've ever seen. Everything about is baller as hell-- the aesthetic, the view, and the right-next-to-it jacuzzi. Now that we've gotten that out of the way: you should be ashamed of yourself. Oil-based sealants contain VOCs (volatile...

I had a flight out of SeaTac yesterday and my tools got flagged for manual inspection. It didn't bother me because I was like eight hours early for my flight. The agent who was going through my stuff complimented me on the Knipex pliers and pliers wrench. Anyway, it probably added a two-minute...

Can you elaborate? I'd love to know what you mean by improving tools. I carry first aid stuff and hand sanitizer in a different pencil case. It's always good to have bandages, gauze, antibiotic creams, peroxide, and so forth. I've never needed the bandages, (although I've had to visit a number...

Yes. I used to fly with two pairs of scissors. I kept both of them in pen loops in my laptop case. When I was returning to the US from Costa Rica in December, Costa Rican security made me throw out one pair of scissors. I have no idea how they didn't spot the other pair that was like 5" away...

I have a little bit of an update based on some of the replies. To answer Odd-job, I work remotely for a b2b software company. I usually go to Latin America where the cost of living is super low, but I'll be heading to Portugal pretty soon. As far as ecotec's question goes-- yes, you can fly...

I actually have a super decent pair of KAI scissors (7170) that I've been keeping in my laptop bag. It's strange-- TSA won't let you have a knife, but you can have scissors as long as the blades aren't longer than 4" past the pivot. After making my post, I stuck the scissors in the same case to...
