Not exactlty a DIY question, but Spit 700e....
Probably the wrong place to post this question, but...nothing ventured
blah blah blah. Does anybody know of a cheap source for nails and clips for a Spit 700E? Awesome piece of kit! but nails and clips are a tad expensive from the usual sources, Screwfix etc. Ebay isn't too bad but it is a bit hit and miss as to who has them. At present I can only see nails and no clips. All help gratefully received -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

Sorry for not explaining myself properly!
 It is a gas powered gun [unlike a Hilti which is usually cartridge operated] and it can fire a nail through a metal conduit box, metal back-box [or plastic] into a girder, concrete, brick, block etc in one shot! No pre-drilling neede, just hold the box against the surface, locate the gun and pull the trigger...job done. No drilling, no plugs, no screws or screwdrivers!! To use one is to believe!!! -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

Start on ears ;-) -- Dave Fawthrop dave hyphenologist co uk Google Groups is IME the *worst* method of accessing usenet. GG subscribers would be well advised get a newsreader, say Agent, and a newsserver, say news.individual.net. These will allow them: to see only *new* posts, a killfile, and other goodies. |
