Installing ceiling panels with clips

[btg308]

But with picka I also have to buy a compressor,

That way of thinking is a pure service error. You should think, "And with picka, I get a good excuse to buy a compressor as well." ;-)

By the way, I'm in about the same situation myself, I'm going to panel ~70 sqm of ceiling but I'm more considering "which picka is the best" and "if I buy a kit with a compressor, I'll save some money and then I'll have two compressors, which could be good to have." :-D

Haha, you're absolutely right. I really apologize if I stepped on anyone's toes with that statement. I'll just make a complete turnaround and take it back

Rent a battery-powered machine, a bit heavier but still handy, Sencos works great.

Got hold of a compressor I can borrow, so I'll probably go for the Biltema nail gun and shoot in at an angle into the spring. It'll probably be "good enough" even if the groove on the next board doesn't cover the head. Then I'll be standing there with the nail gun and end up having to buy my own compressor in the end

Buy nails with white heads. You won't regret it. You can find them at Lundell&zetterbergs if you can't find them anywhere else.

Hmm, just thought of something. If I install 17x95 råspont that the panel will then be attached to, I shouldn't really fasten it (the råspont) with brads, right? Even if I attach it at 30cc?

No, it won't work. Use three-inch nails or screw with a screw gun.

Buy nails with white heads. You won't regret it. They're available at Lundell&zetterbergs if you can't find them anywhere else.

You don't know the article number or something similar? Checked with L&Z but they say they don't have any 16g brads with white heads.

No, unfortunately, I don't have any left. But check with theofils if they have any.
