Tip: Get a free 55 gallon plastic drum from your local factory that's empty with the two white screw caps on top. Remove one cap and place boards on top over the 4inch hole and let it rip. The board will totally cover the hole (in case by chance it bounced perfectly back) and the hight is right for most sized men. I use it and can hear it fly around in the barrel but it keeps it contained in a sort of 55 gallon sharps container. Plus like I said the 55 gallon drum is a makeshift work bench and at a comfortable hight. No worries about nails in lawn
I put my boards on a 5 gallon bucket with a 2" x 8" slot cut in the lid. I place the nail over the slot and fire the nail out. The bucket catches the nails without any risk or nails flying.
Can you also knock a nail inside the wood with this thing? I mean if you knock a nail lightly with the hammer inside the wood and then with the air locker to kinda drive him in fully?
I just got mine today and I got it to get the nails out of my baseboards. I removed them when I painted the room and mine is badass!!! If I’m not careful it will bust the shit out of my wood. Mine had big nails in it too.
I was wondering if you could help me out with the following question: I need to push out nails ( Gauge: 10) out of 0.75" thick hardwood Would this product work for my application?
I just bought one. I am knocking 2 1/2 inch 6 and 8 gauge brads out of 3/4 in. white oak from a 1950's house. At 100 psi it knocks them right out. I lined a wood box with foam and old throw rugs because they were ricocheting off the floor and walls. Only problem are nails within about 1/2 inch of an edge or end because it causes the wood to split. Maybe lower pressure will help but today is the first time I've used it. I plan on repurposing the wood, but if you are not then that should not be a problem. I had a few boards with staples (18-20 gauge?) and it curled a few without knocking them out.
I'd rather have a small circular dent from that tool, that can be filled with filler, bog whatever u want easily, then having to chisel out so much timber just to get the nail! And hoping the damage gets machined off when bringing to side, or in some cases, I'd have to end up cutting out the damage, and putting a new piece of timber in the area, which would take far longer, and won't look as neat!
the air pressure is too high, the pin is coming out of the tool and making indents in the wood. If the pressure was turned down this wouldnt happen. The way to do it is turn the pressure right down and keep trying it and once you have it turned up enough to push the nail through without marking the wood badly thats where you want it.
The Air Locker literature online (www.airlockernailers.com/air-locker-ap700-heavy-duty-professional-punch-nailer-nail-remover) says that the AP700 will work with nails between 10 gauge and 20 gauge. A 10 gauge nail is only an 8 penny (8D) at 0.134" for the diameter of the shank. However, the same online literature says that the AP700 will handle nails up to 0.16" diameter. 10 penny (10D) and 12 penny (12D) nails have a shank diameter of 0.148" and 16 penny (16D) nails have a shank diameter of 0.165". Do you know (or can you try it to see) if the AP700 can drive any of these nails with larger diameter shanks?

Thank you. I usually do, looking back, I'm not sure why I didn't do that here. I have an actual gimbal now, to make it smooth, but that was a few months after this video was made.
Good to hear as that was going to my comment also. That aside this was a better review of the device. The other was a bit more of a puff piece. Shooting them all the way out is not a biggie, the biggest problem is usually getting them pounded through. What is sticking out has usually been bent and compromised so using a hammer is an issue about 50% of the time. I was surprised the brad nails didn't just squash. That is a major plus since brad nails are often a really big PITA to get out.
Usually the higher the air pressure the better the tool functions. He says the pin marks the wood at the pressure hes using. Probably better to actually drop the pressure so the pin does not fire out so far.

And do they fly. Over 30 feet for me. They ping off the shed. I put the board over the garbage can to catch the nails.😂
@@Normal1855 Some sawdust or sand in the bottom helps a lot too.

Nice tool have you tried turning up the air pressure to push the nails out completely
Cheers

I run mine at 100 psi, and pallet nails come completely out. I might lower the pressure, because they can fly over 30 feet.
How about putting a small washer over the nail before you use the nail remover , this should minimise or even prevent damage to the wood

Hi what diameter is the driven inner pin? I want to use it to punch holes through 26 gauge steel.
for the buck its, great... i have one and i love it..

As long as they fit in the hole.

Now all they need to make is an attachment that grabs the nail and pulls it out. :)
Its called a claw hammer!
Pneumatic nail puller, search it.
Can this be use for headless 18mm Brad nails
It may or may not, but you're probably going to leave a large dent in the wood from the rod punching it.

i Would Like Get This Product In India , How Can Please Hepl me
Hi jayaraj, have you find this product in india please reply
It sounds like the air pressure is low.
the air pressure is too high, the pin is coming out of the tool and making indents in the wood. If the pressure was turned down this wouldnt happen. The way to do it is turn the pressure right down and keep trying it and once you have it turned up enough to push the nail through without marking the wood badly thats where you want it.
What pressure are you running it at?
90 something
@@ClandestineWoodwork thanks. I just got the message saying you replied to my comment.
Just put sand in bottom of the bucket, easier to work with a saw horse with bucket under surely.

Man you sound a lot like Butthead from Beavis and Butthead are you actually Mike Judge?
Ha, I haven't heard that comparison since high school.
Wow since you pointed it out he really does lol

RAISE YOUR AIR PRESSURE
The compressor I have doesn't really go over 125 PSI so it would be a significant investment for me to do that.
The instructions actually say to not do this. "Operating Pressure: 80-120 PSI"
Usually the higher the air pressure the better the tool functions. He says the pin marks the wood at the pressure hes using. Probably better to actually drop the pressure so the pin does not fire out so far.
