Default LIDL pneumatic nailer/stapler & compressor - any good?

Why do you need one? I hate nailguns. Horrible at putting nails where you need them, far too good at putting them where you don't want, like into you.. Only thing I really use them for is building theatre set flats, where it's lots and lots of nails in a semi-production environment.

My favourite nailgun is a thirty quid Vaughan framing hammer that looks like an ice axe and a well-fitting nail pouch.


& compressor £90


Any compressor is better than none. This one is too small and too noisy to be a good workshop compressor running all sorts (like random orbit sanders or gritblasting). It's a cheap way of inflating tyres, sinking nails or running a diegrinder though.
