| Jan 12, 2023 at 14:22 | comment | added | FreeMan | 100% agree that this is the wrong tool for the job. jsotola and keshlam list the three reasonable alternatives. Also, yeah, those specs are bizarre. I've not seen any tools (not even air impact guns or die grinders) that need that much air. You're looking at a $1000+ compressor to deliver that much! | |
| Jan 12, 2023 at 13:55 | comment | added | FreeMan | To the VtC folks - this isn't really shopping (though that's what the OP is doing), but more of a "how do I make these two products work together". We've got 10000 of those questions for smart thermostats with various HVAC units and they all stay open... | |
| Jan 12, 2023 at 11:55 | comment | added | Aloysius Defenestrate | Those guns specs are flat-out weird. I can only guess that it's either an error, or that the gun is spectacularly inefficient and wastes more air than a comparable name brand. (FWIW, Freeman doesn't have a great reputation in my circles, and that price seems high.) | |

| Jan 12, 2023 at 5:58 | comment | added | jsotola | use a nailer designed for the job ... it uses shells similar to a gun to drive nails ... homedepot.com/s/concrete%20nailer?searchtype=text&NCNI-5 | |
