Workshop Tip: Smart way to hang nailers
Use the same type of coupler that goes on the air hose, but mount it on the wall.
As I grabbed a nail gun off the wall near my compressor recently, it occurred to me that I’ve never seen anyone use my setup for storing nailers—by hanging them from the same type of coupler that goes on the end of the air hose. The hangers are made from a few pieces of common hardware. They keep my air nailers at the ready, and debris out of their inlets.
