Plastic nails delivered by a bradder
I have come across these plastic nails/staples etc and wondered if anyone has used them before.
Great for temp.pinning boards together for pattern routing etc.
Granted you have to buy their bradder/pinner but IMO the time saved, placing plastic nails anywhere and not having to worry about hitting metal fasteners with router bits/blades.
Coloured non rusting, it all sounds too good.
I'll have to get some prices.

Raptor
Yes I have had some for a few years. They are ok in soft wood but break in hard wood. I have some brads, about 12mm long and some 6mm staples. They are ok for building small boats out of soft ply. Not much sheer strength. You dont have to buy their guns as the cheap ones from Supercheap auto are ok. I think I had to file the mouth of the staple gun. about 4
$40 each instead of $200.

I also have the Raptor nylon nails. I use it to attach a spoilboard to a CNC deck....as I can then surface the board through the nails without damaging the router bit.
i use a cheap brad nailer but a bit hit and miss......really need the proper gun but as don't use it a lot it's OK.
there is a local distributor for Raptor in AUS.....can't remember exactly who as would need to search through my receipts....somewhere on NSW North Coast.

Well I guess depends what you need them for.....in my case they are great as well for boat builders, or others who don't want a nail that rusts...but as a replacement for general carpentry, no.
BTW they are quite strong as the nylon melts slightly as it is pushed into the wood so really depends on the application intended...
cheers
