From Highlands to Hardwood: How the Bostitch Coil Nailer Solved a Tough Nailing Problem
From Highlands to Hardwood: How the Bostitch Coil Nailer Solved a Tough Nailing Problem
Finding the Right Tool at the Great Yorkshire Show
When Andy and Mairi travelled from the Scottish Highlands to the Great Yorkshire Show, they weren’t just attending for a day out—they were looking for a solution to a persistent problem. As manufacturers of Kiln Dried Logs they repaired potato boxes, to store the logs and they often work with Larch wood, a tough hardwood that their cordless nail gun simply couldn’t handle. The nails were left proud, slowing down work and reducing build quality.
That’s when they came across our stand and discovered the Bostitch N89C-2K-E Coil Nailer—a heavy-duty pneumatic nail gun capable of firing nails up to 90mm. After a live demonstration, they were impressed enough to invite us to their site for a proper test.
Coil Nailer vs Cordless Nail Gun: On-Site Testing in the Highlands
Our Northern Sales Manager, Colin, made the trip up to Inverness to provide an on-site demo of the Bostitch coil nailer in real-world conditions. The results spoke for themselves.
Callum, Andy and Mairi’s son, was especially pleased with the tool’s performance.
“This will make our job so much easier.”
The nailer had no issue driving nails flush into the Larch wood—something their cordless model couldn’t do consistently. The combination of power, efficiency, and speed meant faster, cleaner repairs for their potato boxes.
Why the Bostitch N89C-2K-E Coil Nailer Stands Out
Here’s what made the Bostitch coil nailer the perfect solution:
✅ High power: Drives nails fully into hardwood like Larch
✅ Large coil capacity: Fewer reloads compared to strip nailers
✅ Lightweight design: Easy to handle, even during long jobs
✅ High-speed operation: Perfect for batch repair work
Whether you're repairing agricultural storage crates, building wooden pallets, or working with dense timber, the right nailer makes a huge difference in both productivity and finish quality.
