Nailers
Discover our professional nailer range for UK trade construction, from 23-gauge headless pinners for delicate trim through to first-fix framing nailers, roofing coil nailers and concrete nailers. This is the collection for site carpenters, roofing crews, cabinet makers and joinery workshops who need dedicated nailers rather than general-purpose combi tools.
Choose from cordless 18V nailers (DEWALT XR, Bosch, Makita LXT, Einhell), gas-cordless nailers (Paslode and Makita, using fuel cells for maximum portable power), and pneumatic nailers (Bostitch, Tacwise, Rapid, Senco) for the highest firing rate with a compressor setup.

Choosing a nailer by gauge
Nail gauge determines head size, fixing strength and how visible the finished work is. 23-gauge headless pins suit delicate glazing beads and moulding where any visible head would spoil the finish, with the Bostitch TU-216 as the reference tool. 18-gauge brad nailers, such as the DEWALT DCN680N and Makita DFN350ZJ, handle beading, dado rail and cabinet backing. 16-gauge finish nailers, like the DEWALT DCN662N and Bosch GNH18V-64-2M, are the workhorse for skirting, architrave and doorframes. Angled 15-gauge nailers such as the DEWALT DCN660 range reach into corners a straight nailer can't.
First fix vs second fix
First fix framing nailers, like the DEWALT DCN930P2 and Paslode IM350+, drive 50-90mm structural nails for stud walls, floor decking and roof carcassing. Second fix nailers drive shorter, finer nails for visible trim work after plastering, filled and painted over rather than left exposed.
Cordless, gas or pneumatic
Pneumatic nailers, the widest range from Bostitch, give the fastest firing rate and longest service life, best suited to a workshop or site with a permanent compressor. Cordless 18V nailers remove the compressor and air hose entirely for site flexibility. Gas nailers, pioneered by Paslode, combine a small battery for ignition with a disposable fuel cell for combustion power, giving maximum firing force in a compact, fully portable tool, still the dominant format for UK first-fix housebuilding.
Specialist nailers
Positive placement nailers, such as the Paslode PPNXi and DEWALT DCN890P2, drive hardened nails directly into concrete and masonry without pre-drilling. Coil nailers, like the Bostitch N66C-2-E, hold hundreds of nails per load for high-volume production work. Metal connecting nailers such as the Bostitch MCN150-E fix joist hangers and framing anchors, while palm nailers like the Bostitch PN50-E drive nails in confined spaces a full-size nailer can't reach.
Gas nailer fuel cells
Gas nailers use disposable fuel cells that last roughly 1,000-1,200 nails per cell, stocked alongside nail supply as a running consumable. Store fuel cells away from heat sources and out of vehicles in hot weather.
Safety
All nailers here include a contact safety trigger to prevent accidental discharge. Always wear eye protection, disconnect power, air or the fuel cell before clearing a jam, and know what's behind the workpiece before firing into a wall or floor.
