A plastic strip nail gun (also known as a plastic collated nailer) is a specialized fastening tool that uses pneumatic, electric, or manual power to drive collated plastic nails into target materials quickly and accurately. It is widely used in construction, interior decoration, furniture manufacturing, advertising installation, and DIY projects. This tool is particularly suitable for efficiently fixing materials such as plastic sheets, thin metal plates, wood, and gypsum boards.
| Type | Power Source | Core Working Principle | Core Advantages | Application Scenarios |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pneumatic Plastic Strip Nail Gun | Compressed air (supplied by an air compressor) | Air pressure drives the cylinder piston, which propels the firing pin to strike at high speed and drive the collated nails into the base material | Strong power, high firing speed, low failure rate, cost-effective | Construction framing, roof laying, outdoor large-scale projects, batch fastening operations |
| Electric Plastic Strip Nail Gun (Li-ion/battery-powered or plug-in) | Li-ion batteries (18V/20V mainstream) or mains electricity (220V for domestic use, 110V for overseas markets) | The motor drives the gear/crank-slider mechanism to actuate the firing pin and complete nail driving; battery-powered models feature cordless design | Flexible mobility, no air hose restrictions, convenient start-stop operation | Indoor decoration, furniture assembly, aerial work, small-to-medium projects with scattered work sites |
| Manual Plastic Strip Nail Gun | Manual pressing/lever force | Human force is amplified through the lever principle to push the firing pin and press the collated nails into the base material | Simple structure, no need for power or air supply, low price, highly portable | Home DIY projects, small-scale decoration work, temporary fastening, scenarios without power or air supply |
Gun Body (including cylinder/motor, firing mechanism, transmission components)
Magazine (holds collated plastic nails, enables quick loading, some models support tool-free disassembly)
Nozzle (contacts the workpiece, controls nail discharge direction, some are equipped with scratch-resistant rubber pads)
Adjustment Knobs (for depth adjustment, single/sequential firing mode switching, trigger lock)
Power/Air Interface (electric models: battery compartment/power plug; pneumatic models: quick-connect air hose fitting)
Adjustable Nail Driving DepthThe depth can be adjusted via the knob/lever on the gun body to adapt to base materials of different thicknesses and hardness levels (e.g., preventing thin wood panels from splitting, ensuring full penetration of thick boards).
Dual Modes: Single & Sequential FiringSingle-firing mode is ideal for precise positioning, while sequential firing mode boosts efficiency for batch operations.
Safety Protection SystemEquipped with trigger lock (prevents accidental activation), dry-fire lock (automatically locks the firing pin when no nails are left to avoid damage), and overload protection (prevents overheating of motor/cylinder).
Quick Loading & Anti-Jamming DesignFeatures a quick-release magazine structure; some models are designed with nail channel guides to reduce nail jamming failures.
Compatible Collated Nail Specifications
Angle: 21°/22° collated round plastic nails are mainstream; some models support 20°/27° nails.
Length: Common lengths range from 25mm to 90mm (select based on operational needs, e.g., 25–50mm for decoration, 50–90mm for framing).
Material: Plastic-collated nails (suitable for wood, plastic, and thin metal base materials).
Power Parameters
Pneumatic models: Working air pressure ranges from 4–8 bar (a stable pressure of 5–7 bar is recommended); air consumption varies by model.
Electric models: 18V/20V for battery-powered versions, with battery capacities of 2.0–4.0 Ah (larger capacity means longer battery life); 220V (domestic) / 110V (overseas) for plug-in versions.
Nail CapacityTypically 64–70 nails for pneumatic models, around 80 nails for electric models, and 30–50 nails for manual models.
WeightApproximately 2–3 kg for pneumatic models (excluding air hose), 2.5–3.5 kg for battery-powered electric models (including battery), and less than 1 kg for manual models.
| Scenario | Recommended Type | Recommended Parameters |
|---|---|---|
| Construction framing, roof laying | Pneumatic plastic strip nail gun | 21° collated round plastic nails (50–90mm length), 5–7 bar working pressure, nail capacity ≥ 64 nails |
| Indoor decoration, furniture assembly | Li-ion battery-powered plastic strip nail gun | 18V/20V Li-ion battery, 21°/22° collated nails (25–50mm length), single/sequential firing mode switch |
| Home DIY, small-scale decoration | Manual plastic strip nail gun | Lightweight model, compatible with short collated nails (15–30mm length) |
Tool Inspection: Check for damage; for pneumatic models, ensure no air leaks in the hose; for electric models, verify sufficient battery power.
Nail Loading: Open the magazine, align the collated plastic nails with the nail channel, push them into the magazine, close the latch, and test nail feeding by gently pulling the nozzle.
Parameter Adjustment: Set the appropriate nail driving depth based on the base material, select single/sequential firing mode, and activate the trigger lock.
