creyc Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I know a lot of shops build boxes this way but is it a big enough time save to be worth the price of a nail gun? And secondly I assume the boxes are just as strong since the glue is what holds it? So is it worth investing in a brad nailer if I make around a box every other week? 2001 Chevy Blazer (2) SAZ-3000Ds (2) custom 18" Madmax subs in a second row wall Rockford 600-4 Pioneer PRS components Pioneer P800PRS deck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raytard Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 thats for you to decide, as far as the cost of a gun and the time it will save you for all intents and purposes it does work as well as screws, but its 20x faster it may very well be worth it, especially if you already have a compressor/tank/hoses, i've seen some floating around for like 24 bux, and very few over 100 (most of which are heavy guage that you dont need), so why the hell not, its not like you're investing in a panel saw or something, whats 40 or 50 bux after shipping?

creyc Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 if you dont like waiting for the glue to dry then i would say yes Huh? I don't see how this matters, you still have to wait for the glue to dry with brads OR screws. And glue only takes a few hours anyway, I just let it dry overnight. I'm talking about saving time during the builds. 2001 Chevy Blazer (2) SAZ-3000Ds (2) custom 18" Madmax subs in a second row wall Rockford 600-4 Pioneer PRS components Pioneer P800PRS deck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
