Bostitch LPF21PL Nailer Specification

The Bostitch LPF21PL Nailer is a precision-engineered pneumatic framing nailer designed for robust performance and efficiency in heavy-duty construction tasks. It operates using an air compressor, requiring an operational pressure range between 70 and 120 PSI to ensure optimal performance. Weighing approximately 8.1 pounds, the tool is relatively lightweight, enhancing maneuverability and reducing user fatigue during extended use.

The LPF21PL is capable of driving 21-degree plastic collated round head framing nails, accommodating nail lengths from 2 to 3.25 inches, which makes it versatile for a variety of framing applications, including wall sheathing, roof decking, and wood to masonry fastening. Its magazine has a high capacity, holding up to 60 nails, which minimizes the frequency of reloads and increases productivity on the job site.

Engineered with a low-profile design, the nailer is adept at accessing tight spaces, a critical feature for intricate framing tasks. It features a tool-free selectable trigger system, allowing users to switch between sequential and contact firing modes swiftly, catering to precision or rapid-fire requirements. An integrated rafter hook offers convenient storage options when the nailer is not in use, enhancing safety and efficiency.

The Bostitch LPF21PL also includes a no-mar tip to prevent surface damage, preserving the aesthetics of the finished work. Additionally, its adjustable exhaust directs air away from the user, ensuring comfort and safety during operation. Designed with durability in mind, the LPF21PL boasts a magnesium housing that provides a balance of strength and reduced weight, making it a reliable choice for professionals seeking quality and performance in their pneumatic tools.
