Re: Nails for air nailer - sources?

Well, I just bought one of those AWMN's.
What a beast.
I've just banged a load of 50mm masonry nails into wood (and my garage
floor in a couple of trys).
By default it drives them about 2mm below the surface, and the firing
pin is a fairly large rectangular affair (~6.5 x 2.5mm), which makes
quite a size recess in the wood.
However by adjusting the nose cover plate down a tad, I got it driving
the nails flush or just below the surface.
There's no splintering or splitting.

So I'll be using on the shed build a few weeks time.

Then I might sell it on.

As to other nails, I found a huge list at
http://www.tooled-up.com/MicroCategory.asp?CID=27&SCID=310&MCID=1312

The 13ga equates (I think) to 2.2mm gauge listed on page 3 of that list.
All by "Ace & K", who I'd never heard of but seem to be into air nailers
big time.

If anyone knows of their web site (if they have one), where is it cos I
can't find it.

Cheers
