What is a Pin Nailer?

Pin nailers are generally smaller, lighter-weight nailers. Sometimes known as "Headless Pinners", "Pin Guns" or "23 Gauge Nailers". As the name would suggest, they fire "Pins" rather than "Nails".

Pins tend to be headless and of a very small gauge (diameter), meaning they are not really ideal for applications where holding power is needed. Pin nailers are mainly used for fine finishing applications such as furniture making, attaching decorative mouldings, assembling picture frames or fastening delicate materials, veneers or trim to pieces of furniture.

Often pin nails are used in conjunction with adhesives to hold mouldings in place while they set. Very little evidence is left behind on the workpiece due to the lack of a head and the very small diameter of the pin, this makes it very easy to fill over the pinhole and achieve a great finish.

Common pin sizes tend to range from around 10mm through to around 50mm and are most commonly around 23 gauge.
