Manual Nail Gun Questions

Does anyone know if round nails for manual nail guns are sold locally? If not, what is the process to import? Is a licence required to use the gun?

I use an air actuated concrete nail gun. I buy the nails online and ship them in with no restrictions.

I have to believe that there would be a restriction on the blanks used in a powder actuated nail gun.

padna of mine dad was electrician and he had one
after he passed they had to turn it in

I see some fb page selling that locally but can't find it now.

Will post when it pop-up again.

Otherwise check out the Ramset products on eBay.

They use a fuel cell rather than gun powder

I saw SSL in south had the blanks some years ago so I'm sure they'll have everything else that goes with it

Yup. My old man used to own a Hilti Dx450 and when he passed we had to surrender it to the police station. Probably will never see it again.

It seems to be sime kind of shady business....nobody seems to know where to get the nails for this tool. I saw that C&H ad but they themselves don't have the nails ☹️
