Can it be used to counter sink existing ribbed deck nails prior to sanding deck? If not suggestions?

Negative, won't counter sink. The hammer head never clears the barrel, even when fully depressed. I would have adjusted the depth of drive on the first go round with the deck nails. I'm afraid you may be left using a hammer and a nail set.

I doubt it! Pressure from the nailhead is required to activate the "hammer" which is a piston inside the metal sleeve shown at the bottom of the PN50 in the picture. Once the "nail" no longer protrudes from the nailing surface into the sleeve, it de-activates the "hammer", concluding the operation.

yes. it's a thing that fits in your palm and inside the thing is a hammer that hits nails. It does this repeatedly and fast, numerous times per second. It will pretty much do any hammering job a framing hammer will, without needing to swing it. A hammer and nailset tool will maybe be more suitable for your purposes.

Yes, no reason not to. Countersink and cover with wood putty to match deck.

My experience has been that the polish sinks into the wood and does not cause a buildup. It depends on the finish of the wood. If its been varnished or has a clear coat hardener I wouldn't use this product.

The auger blades have a rubber rim so contact with the deck surface should be no problem. Behind and below the auger blades is a stationary hard plastic "scraper" that should just slide along the deck surface, assuming that it is level. You will be pushing the machine so you can control how fast and with how much pressure that plastic scraper moves along the deck surface. The machine is very light and easy to control.

In order to use finishing nails you will have to use the PC Model FN250SB finishing nailer. The BN200C brad nailer can handle up to 2-inch 18 gauge brads. In regards to whether it will countersink, the answer is yes it will. In my humble opinion it is an ideal tool for building small projects. I too am old school, but quickly adapted to the convenience, speed, and neatness of using a brad nailer. Good luck!!

No Rachel, the deck plate is only big enough to cover a single hole. You could add another deck plate like this one: search on Amazon (4 Polished Chrome Sink Hole rectangular Cover Deck Plate (0572 - 370). good luck!

If you can stabilize it, then yes. If that's all you're using it for, though, I'd go with something stronger. This is a great tool, but it's really for getting into nooks and crannies more than heavy-duty flat-sanding.

Yes it sand the top rod is adjustable to you should be good. hould work fine,. As long as the grommet tops aren't tiny they should slide right in so you should be good sizewise.

Basically, Yes! The Kreg Deck Jig System comes with a special stepped drill bit which is set to "stop" at a certain depth. The diameter and stop-height have been determined for their screws. The system worked very well for me. I would not risk the joint strength by saving a few dollars on screws.

I had originally used Baher stain that is like paint (awful never will use it ever again). I actually sanded down my deck before I used the restore.

A Radom orbital sander would be a better choice of tools for sanding wood. Preferably with dust collection attached to the sander. Exposed nail heads or screws could prove to be a problem with the sanding discs though.

You could it will work but it is not recommended. However, if you do you should look into using a stainless steel nail. If you don't the nails will bleed onto the wood after time due to the weather elements. Since it is for exterior use the stainless steel nails will not bleed into your wood and ruin the wood.

Jean, I would say probably not. The idea is to spread the stuff thickly on to horizontal decking. You might be able to thin it a bit and brush it on, but it would seem to me not as effective. Why don't you visit their website as they have lots of good information. BTW our decks still look great and it is holding up well. - John

Yes. I use it on my clients that have acrylic nails that are thick. It has a high speed and it comes with the sand bits that are very effective.

If you are not planning on re-painting, then no. HOWEVER, if you plan on painting the deck afterward, I would use 120 grit paper to smooth things out and then give it a nice coat or two of outdoor deck paint.... On a side note, I use mine when I am performing prep / body work on aircraft, and occasionally I will use it for sand and buff applications, however, that is a discussion for a different thread.

This unit is only good for nail maintenance. You would need a stronger unit to do that.

I would use a wood screw for stair noise; the reason is a nail can loosen easier than a screw. counter sink the screw into the wood stair so it won't catch on foot wear.

It would likely do fair, however depending how many boards you need to fasten. Star drive deck screws driven by impact cordless driver might serve you better. A 20V cordless impact can do an amazing amount of work plus a screw can be with-drawn if needed whereas impulse driven nails are much harder to dislodge. I use my impact driver much more often than my impulse nailer. I own and use two Paslodes and one Bostich gas nailer, very handy tools indeed. Just another opinion.
