Product Description

Amazon.com

The Bostitch F21PL Round-Head Framing Nailer is the ideal tool for framing, sheathing, subflooring, and bracing jobs. Perfect for professionals and weekend warriors alike, this nailer features a strong, lightweight magnesium body, quick-change nosepieces for plastic-collated and metal-connector nails, a 16-inch layout indicator, and more.

Designed to Match the Task at Hand
The recommended tool for use with HurriQuake disaster-resistant nails, the F21Pl has a patented feature that lets you set nail depth with the simple push of a button. For further convenience, quick-change nosepieces let you switch from plastic-collated framing nails to metal connector nails in seconds.

The high-capacity magazine holds up to 60 plastic collated 21-degree framing nails (2.0-3.5 inch) or 60 metal connector nails (1.5-2.5 inch). Its 16-inch layout indicator, located on the magazine, lets you know at a glance the correct distance between studs.

And with an adjustable rafter hook, you can conveniently hang the nailer on joists and rafters during work breaks.

Best-in-Class Power-to-Weight Ratio
The magnesium construction of the F21PL Round-Head Framing Nailer means this tool is light enough to use all day, while still being strong enough to reliably use again and again. It also means that this tool has the best power-to-weight ratio in its class: 1,050 in./lbs. to 8.1 pounds.

The Bostitch F21PL Round Head Framing Nailer works with a standard air compressor and is backed by a seven-year limited warranty.

The last of his kind.
5 Stars
The last of his kind.
Before the battery powered this nailer is the last air powered you will need.I use occasionally and didn't want to spend more on a battery powered.Saw lots of nightmare kind negative reviews. Since I have several different kind Bostich nailer s and I am extremely happy with them, decided to order and use for my fence project.I maybe used 1000 nails and not a single misfire or jam or anything. Nails like a 45 Colt.Ignore all these negative reviews. Either they are rookie or a very first time user of the tool.
Thank you for your feedback
