This butane-powered framing nailer has been through a lot with me. We built a house, thousands of feet of fence, a greenhouse, several floating docks, a hundred-foot (30-meter) pier, and countless other projects. It’s powerful, reliable, and an absolute joy to use. It’s cordless, but not battery-powered. Instead it has a linear internal combustion engine! A puff of butane gas (as used in cigarette lighters) is injected into the cylinder when you push the nose down onto the board. When you pull the trigger a spark plug ignites the fuel-air mixture, setting off an explosion that drives the nail.
