| New Bostitch coil framing nailer  Bostitch announced the introduction of its new model N89C-1 coil framing nailer. The Bostitch N89C-I responds with 20% more power than previous models by offering 1,050 inch-pounds of driving force. The N89C-1 allows end-users to decide which type of firing mode best suits their needs. An all-new factory installed 'Smart Trigger' comes standard on the tool. This trigger design operates in contact mode when pulled before the nose is depressed; however, it drives nails individually if the nose is depressed before the trigger is pulled. This minimizes the unintentional double-fire effect caused by recoil. Additionally, the N89C-1 includes a second trigger that converts the tool to sequential fire mode if desired.Bostitch chose magnesium - the same metal used in aircraft design - to construct the nailer's housing because of its lightweight, durable characteristics. The N89C-1 weighs only 8.1 pounds. The lightweight design, combined with an over-molded grip, works with the user to offer maximum comfort and minimize fatigue during overhead applications or prolonged use. With a magazine capacity between 225 and 300 nails, the model N89C-1 accepts coil framing nails between 2" to 3-½" in length with a shank diameter of .099" to .148". The N89C's patented push button depth of drive mechanism allows users to set nails to desired depths in a matter of seconds while a tool-free 360° adjustable exhaust directs blow-back in any direction. Additionally, it provides bolt-on steel wear guards with rubber skid pads to protect the housing from daily wear and tear on the jobsite. Bostitch, a subsidiary of The Stanley Works, is a manufacturer of pneumatic nailers & staplers, fasteners, compressors, office products, and related accessories for market segments including commercial/residential construction, manufactured housing, manufactured furniture/bedding, professional woodworking, sophisticated hobbyists, and office workers everywhere. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
