Senco A101009 23-Gauge-by-1-Inch Headless Micropins
I have used break-away pins prior to the purchase of my Porter Cable pneumatic pinner, and will likely never go back. I do have to say though, that using pins as long as the 1″, make sure that you have at least 100lbs psi to work with. If not, the heads will not completely recess, at least into 3/4″ red oak. Worth mentioning, they are only good to pin an item until the glue sets…if you need strength, go with at least an 18ga nailer.
Nothing wrong with the product, but I ignored other reviews of this and similar products which stated that after shipping all the rails of nails were broken apart and unusable.
This is exactly what happened to me with this item. Since the other review was 2 years earlier, it is clear nothing has been done to improve this situation.
I returned them, and will buy locally.
Although amazon did a good job packaging the box of nails in a standard cardboard shipping container with packing peanuts, the manufacturer’s box which houses the nails had so much air space and freedom of movement for the nails that it looked like a box of chicklets by the time that it got to me rather than 26 organized strips of nails. I don’t know whether or not that was because the delivery guy decided to use my package like a soccer ball (the outer packaging had no visible signs of damage), but the nails were completely un-usable by the time that they got to me – I had to throw almost 75% of them away because the pieces were too small to see the directional arrow printed on the side of the nail strips.
Tried several different brands of pins for my SureBonder pin nailer (couldn’t find any Surebonder brand) and this is the only one that fit. They work fine, no jams, etc. Only 4 stars because they are expensive.
