Product Information
Full details
The Tacwise FCN55V Pneumatic Coil Nailer is designed for professionals undertaking packaging applications, garden building construction, and fence manufacture. Its key benefit is the excellent power-to-weight ratio, achieved through a lightweight magnesium alloy body, which reduces user fatigue during extended use. A potential caveat is that it requires an air compressor to operate, and specific nail types and sizes must be used.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What type of nails does the FCN55V use?
It uses 2.1-2.5mm diameter flat and 2.1 conical coil nails. Lengths range from 25mm to 57mm for flat and up to 50mm for conical.
Do I need a powerful air compressor for this nailer?
No, it operates efficiently between 70-120 PSI, meaning a smaller and less powerful air compressor is sufficient.
How do I switch between firing modes?
There is a simple switch on the tool that allows you to toggle between Single Shot and Contact Trip (bump fire) modes.
What is included in the pack?
The pack includes the FCN55V nailer, three hex keys (S3, S4, S5), safety glasses, air tool oil, an operator's manual, a blow mould carry case, and 14,400 2.1 X 38mm Bright Ring Top Coil Nails.
How often should I lubricate the tool?
It is recommended to apply 1-2 drops of air tool oil into the air inlet before each use for optimal performance and longevity.
Can I use this for fine woodworking?
While it has depth control, this nailer is best suited for heavier applications like packaging, construction, and garden buildings due to its power and coil nail format. For fine woodworking, a brad nailer or finish nailer might be more appropriate.
What is the warranty period?
Please refer to the product's warranty card or the manufacturer's website for the specific warranty duration and terms.
Troubleshooting
Nail not firing
Check air pressure is within the 70-120 PSI range. Ensure the magazine is loaded correctly and the safety mechanism is engaged. Verify the nose of the tool is pressed firmly against the workpiece.
Nail not fully driven
Increase air pressure slightly (within limits). Adjust the depth control setting to drive nails deeper. Check for obstructions in the magazine or driver blade.
Tool leaking air
Ensure all air hose connections are secure. Check for any damage to the tool's O-rings or seals; refer to the manual or contact support if leaks persist.
Intermittent firing
Perform lubrication as per the care instructions. Clean the magazine and firing mechanism for any debris. Ensure a consistent air supply from the compressor.
Contact trip (bump fire) not working
Confirm the firing mode switch is set to 'Contact Trip'. Ensure the trigger is depressed *before* engaging the nose against the workpiece. Check for any debris obstructing the contact trip mechanism.
