Is this a Good Gun for Building Furniture (e.g. a desk)?

I used it with trim work. Structural work with a brad nailer may not be good.

I'd say it's as good as any gun out there for it, I've used mine for kitchen cabinets to building garage shelving etc.

Absolutely! I've used it on red oak, maple, African Linge and good old plywood. Nice tool for the money! Keep it oiled

I only have bostitch and hitachi; I love them bouth the same ; I don't know about building furniture, I would think that 18 ga nails are not dsigned to hold togeter furniture, they're designed to hold finishing trim and stuff that is not structural; eather way for the performance of the gun , BUY IT WITH CONFIDANCE

This is not the right spray gun to paint walls. I use it for small projects and touch up jobs (only oil paint) Bedside table or chairs etc. Cheers George.

Not made for that!!I love this gun , good for small projects..When you dont want to pull out compressor..I try to install 400' of crown molding once and stooed to set the nails right..Wood floor is much harder and it will not work..

I would not recommend it because of the weight of the desk. These are O.K. for lighter furniture (like chairs). There are other products you can purchase for your desk like EZ Moves that are a heavier grade plastic.

I used this on a chair and it works very well. I would suggest that you move the furniture away from the walls because the tool may spray over the furniture and onto the wall.

this nailer good to hold wood till glue sets. the kreg system sold here and elsewhere is best(using screws and glue) for shelves and cabinets. benches can be found in unfinished kit form....might be cheaper...or google free bench plans, park bench plans, workbench plans....etc, etc. this gun is great. good for fine work such as piucture frames or not to damage molding. have a good one.....rich

John, I have used this type of blast gun on my blaster for a long time and it works great for small jobs.....IMHO you will need something more substantial for the job you have planned. On big jobs I haul to a blast company and they knock out the job very quickly.

I'll find out in a few weeks ;) However, I doubt it would have any issues. This gun has proven to be very sturdy. Handles humidity very well.

I would if your just shooting cans and paper targets. Purchased for my friends build and was impressed for the price. I saved a few bucks buying a return. It was like brand new. Besides , you can always return if you don't like it thru amazon.

This is for engineered hardwood floors That have a small profile ( the height or thickness ) With this gun I use only .25" inch to .5" inch thickness hardwoods which u can install up to .75" inch to start and end walls but u should use a stand up flooring maker with 2" staples or nails for anything over .5" thickness to get proper grip in to the substrate The safety would have to be disarmed to use a regular stapler Which is possible but not recommended for safety and well speed of the job This is a very good guns I only use with1.5" bostitch staples good grip and well perfect angle always There is cheaper manufacturers and models for the weekender Out there but I own 2 of these and well they come with hard plastic cases too for the professionals

I doubt it it's just not heavy enough I've had the targets bounce back around with high power airgun a rimfire would most likely damage the targets or even punch holes in them you could try .22 short or CB but any more I'm quite sure would damage it

Yes, but one thing you need to watch out for is that sometimes different parts of the gun come loose. also if you bang the barrel up against anything hard it will chip some paint off.but other than that this gun is a great buy.

I might not use it for full time construction. though I understand many people do. but for a reliable medium use gun. it's working for me. the dispensing "rod" is all metal. cleans with a fingernail. super nice to be able to keep one can going. Use. scratch tip clean with fingernail. use again. wire wool it. use. etc...

No, you want something with much more power. A pellet rifle would work much better, look for something with at least 900-1200 fps. For comparison, that's three times as much power as this pistol. This is perfect for shooting cans and punching holes in paper, but not much more.

Yes keep in mind this is a toy. Not meant for real guns. Use lock tight and will work fine .

I would think that this NuMax or a brad nailer could do the job. The Numax shoots a small headless nail and it is difficult, if not impossible to see the entry point. I have used it for attaching end skins to cabinets and one certainly doesn't want to see nail entry points on the side of cabinets. The type of work you describe, arts and crafts, probably would require the same characteristics, no visible nails. The thickness of the wood certainly is a factor to consider. This Numax supports a nail up to one inch limiting the size.

Yes. It is a very good gun. The magazine can fall out sometime but not very often. The only other issue i have with it is that it does not fit in a plastic holster
