Hi everyone,
I have an air nailer that says it uses a ¼" thread on the bit that screws into it to connect the air hose to. However, when I measure the actual device, the thread is anything but ¼" more like a half inch. (see photo)
Looking in a catalogue gives me two sizes for this screw adapter ¼" and ⅜" but I'm not sure which one to order. Why does the instructions call it a ¼" thread when it actually measures more like double that?
I'm confused :?
Also does anyone know of a good book about all things compressor related - this stuff seems complicated what with all the different fittings etc that are available? I'd also like to understand how to maintain the compressor properly.
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
regards
Brian
