Tools and Hardware Reviews of Grex P635 23 Gauge 1-3/8-Inch Length Headless Pinner

Customer Review: Very nice tool, if you know what to use it for.
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an excellent product, comes ready to use, and works perfectly. Quiet, light, and well made. Feels better than the Porter Cable I tried out, and extremely accurate. I used it at 90 psi with the 1 3/8" pins, and had no issues with putting pins through shoe molding, corner molding, pinning crown miters, etc.

A very minor gripe: it is difficult to load a new clip of pins when there are a few still left on the old clip. The spring mechanism pushes the two clips together pretty hard when you close the magazine, and the ends of the clips can get doubled up, jamming the magazine. I was unable to fix this, so I just made sure I only refilled when it was completely empty. Kind of a hassle on the ladder, but there are so many pins in a clip it didn't matter to me that much. I don't know if this was a problem on the other pinner I tried out because I never thought to check.

If you've never used a pinner, you should know that it is NOT going to replace your finish nailer. In other words, don't plan on a pinner to hold up oak trim on a coffered ceiling. You can put the smaller stuff (cove, bead) up with the pinner, and you get perfect results.

Another great use for the pinner is holding the returns on small pieces of trim while the glue sets up. Things that you cannot clamp together can be pinned and you'll probably never see the tiny hole. Plus, no problems with splitting the end grains either! Saves me hours of hole-filling and irritation.

This pinner has the dual trigger, and it works well. One safety note, don't get complacent about holding the safety trigger down and waving the gun around at the same time (away from the workpiece). There is no safety tip to depress, so it will fire away. It's all too easy to slide one hand a little too close to the tip while you're positioning and give yourself a new body piercing. Didn't do it personally, but it can be done...

One thing this gun doesn't do as well as a finish nailer is shoot at shallow angle. There's no deep countersink to push the angled nails in, and the pins are so fine that the grain of hard wood will sometimes curve your angled shots and turn them out the side. If you're shooting near the joint between two pieces of wood, it will very easily just follow the joint instead of angling through them. Just take some care in lining it up before you pull the trigger and that issue goes away.

A minor gripe: it is difficult to load a new clip of pins when there are a few still left on the old clip. The spring mechanism pushes the two clips together pretty hard when you close the magazine, and the clips can get doubled up, jamming the magazine. I was unable to prevent this, so I just made sure I only refilled when it was completely empty.

Description of Grex P635 23 Gauge 1-3/8-Inch Length Headless Pinner

For finishing, detailed woodworking, and fastening of delicate, thin, and small wood pieces without splitting, the Grex P635 Headless Pinner makes the process of pinning easy. This innovative tool accommodates long pins up to 1-3/8 inches for a strong hold, and the magazine self-adjusts to different fastener sizes, so you'll never need to make any adjustments for pin lengths. Powerful enough to penetrate hardwoods, the P635 works securely with a built-in double-trigger safety.



1. A narrow nose allows for fine, detailed work.
2. A no-mar tip protects your work surface.
3. A safety trigger prevents accidental firing.
4. A self-adjusting magazine makes pin changes easy.

Award-Winning Power and Versatility
Ideal for detailed woodworking and finish work, the P635 gives you the flexibility and power you need to tackle a host of pinning jobs. Equipped with an industrial-strength motor, this pinner easily penetrates hardwoods such as oak and beech. And even with its high-power performance, the P635 allows for fastening of delicate, thin, and small wood pieces without splitting--something that's simply not possible with larger fasteners.


Suitable for both hard and soft woods, the P635 fits pins up to 1-3/8 inches long for strong holding power.View larger.
The magazine auto-adjusts to the different fastener sizes, quickly pushing pins to the necessary position. Unlike old-style pinners, the P635 does not require you to make any adjustments for the pin lengths; it's an easy load-and-go tool for quick, convenient, and trouble-free loading and reloading.

The pinner's broad fastener range accepts pins from 3/8 inch to 1-3/8 inches in length--nine different sizes--making it the perfect go-to gun. Plus, the P635's fastener capacity is one strip (approximately 100 pins), letting you work with little interruption.

For its innovative features, the P635 has been named one of the "Best New Tools" in the December 2005 issue of Popular Woodworking and the "Best Bet" of headless pinners in the April 2007 issue of Woodworker's Journal. The P635 has also been listed in Taunton's Tool Guide as the "Readers' Choice" two years in a row (2008 and 2009).

Lightweight Body with Narrow Nose for Easy Maneuvering
Weighing only 2.21 pounds, the P635 keeps you working comfortably when you're performing extended or overhead pinning jobs. And with its narrow nose and short length (less than eight inches), this pinner is perfect for accessing tight spaces, and the rear cut-away magazine helps the tool reach into corners.

If you frequently perform detailed trim work, this pinner's compact design gives you the control and flexibility you need to create an attractive finished product. And for jam clearing, the P635's removable nose cover provides easy access. The hex key to remove the nose cover is conveneiently stored on the rear of the magazine.

No-Mar Tip and Safety Trigger Provide Clean, Safe Performance
If you want to avoid visible holes or splits in a finished piece, the P635 is a great choice. The pinner is similar to a finish or brad nailer, but it uses smaller nails, so it fires fasteners that hardly leave a trace. Despite being a very thin headless fastener, the tool uses 23-gauge headless pins that provide a significant amount of holding power when driven in correctly. And because the pins leave holes that are practically invisible, there is no need for puttying and sanding. This means you'll achieve better-looking results while saving time.

The P635 also makes it possible to fasten pre-finished material. The removable no-mar tip works with smooth precision, so do-it-yourselfers and professionals alike can enjoy clean, expert results.

For added security and control, the pinner is built with a double-trigger safety, which prevents accidental firing. To fire a pin, you simply pull back the safety trigger and then engage the pinning trigger. For added convenience, the pinner includes quick access magazine storage for the wrench, magazine angled cut-off, and a fastener indicator that lets you know when reloading is necessary.

And to ensure a more relaxed work environment, the P635 has a rear-exhaust system with a built-in silencer, which directs the tool's exhaust away from the user and reduces the noise to a comfortable minimum. Constructed mostly of metal--with a hardened steel driver and nose piece, aluminum internal parts, aluminum housing, and aluminum extruded magazine assembly--this tool is built to last. And with a convenient belt hook, the pinner is easy to carry with you wherever you go.

Great for a Variety of Uses: From Frame Assembly to Joint Pinning
The P635's many capabilities give you the freedom to use it in a variety of situations, covering your pinning needs everywhere from craft shops to construction sites. Grex recommends the pinner for the following applications: finishing, molding, decorative trimming, lightweight paneling, dowel and joint pinning, window beading, display and sign creation, and assembly of mirrors, picture frames, rattan furniture, and more.
