For Use with Metal Connector Gun

To do connection with predrilled holes, such as trim angles.

• 2.5" .113 Versadrive, exterior rated. Plastic strip. Menards. [16]
• Would 2-3/8" nails work with the gun as well? Or will the tip not stick out? Test it.

15°

For cordless siding gun. Can use cordless siding gun for trim. If using scrails, this qualifies for lifetime design in removing trim or other removable parts.

• Menards - 1.75" 0.08 coil, 4200 nails, $75 - HDG - 1.8 cents - [17]
• Lowes 2500 1.75", 0.092 gauge - Metabo coil - 2.1 cent - [18]
• See 15 deg scrails below. There are plastic strip 30° scrails as well.

Scrails

Then make them coiled and plastic strip. Ideally, a coil version could be used in a coil siding gun for trim attachment, and a plastic strip could be used. Future work: scrail, metal connector type, to 2.5" for trim, trim angle, and metal connnectors.

• Removable like a screw, but is shot in. Fasco [19].
• See 2.5" for use with the Metal Connector gun
• 1.75" .113 shank 15 degree star drive. Coil. 4 cents, exterior/interior. [20]. If this were to work in a cordless coil siding nailer, that would be ideal. If not, that should be designed.
• 9 cents - 33 degree bar -.113 in - exterior grade 2.5” [21]
• 6 cents for interior grade subfloor scrails 2-1/4" - 33 degree bar - [22]
