From my experience the larger 12 inch models are better suited for longer nails 16D and the smaller 8 inch nail pullers are better suited for 8D nails and smaller. The shape of the cat's paw will also come into play but from what I've found out from my own personal experience is that everybody has their own opinion on which type works better.
So you really have to try out a couple for yourself in order to find one that you deem the best. A nail set or nail punch is used on the face of a nail and then you pound the other end of the nail set with your hammer in order to eliminate any marks or marring that may come from the hammer head.
Usually a nail set is used for smaller nails Oran finished materials where you don't want any unnecessary marks to occur on the face of the material because it will be seen in many cases.
Another good example of where a nail set can be used is when you are setting a window. When using nails on a window flange sometimes the hammer head can present a problem. If you were to accidentally nick the frame of the window it can actually take a chunk out of the window. A nail set can help eliminate this problem by keeping the head of your hammer well away from the frame of the window. F: Speed Square- A speed square is a very useful tool that comes in handy when making quick reference lines on just about any type of material.
The tool is basically a triangle shaped object with lots of lines and markings on it and it can actually perform many different functions. One of the main functions of a speed square is that it acts as a straight edge when marking dimensional lumber. This will make straight lines very quickly that are a perfect 90 degree angle every time. Another strong point of the speed square is the fact that it can easily pivot in order to find angles which are common in the building process, especially when dealing with the framing of roofs.
The last really cool feature about speed squares is the fact that you can scribe lines along an edge at a specific measurement, which greatly speeds up having to make certain marks. G: Combination Square- The combination square is a lot like a speed square, as it share some of the basic functions that the speed square does but is a little bit different because of the sliding ability it has.
It is basically a ruler that has a head attached to it that can be interchanged but basically is used to check for 90 degree and 45 degree angles. The real power in the combination square is that it allows you to slide the head of the tool back and forth along the ruler which can come in handy for marking long rip cuts and for customizing the length of your square for dimensional lumber.
The way they are shaped actually provide a little bit more surface area so they are easier to grip and hold on to and since they are flat and not rounded they fit easily into smaller pockets and are out of the way of the other tools that may share that compartment. I: Utility Knife - A utility knife is really an essential tool for a lot of things in the construction process and is used for sharpening pencils, cutting caulking on remodeling jobs to remove trim pieces, to cut sheetrock and so many other things.
These can come in many different forms and the retractable blade models are some of the most common nowadays and are probably the safest type too. Other types include a snap blade type of utility knife, a hooked version for cutting carpet to name a couple of examples.
If you are going to be going through a lot of blade changes, you will want to make sure that you get a utility knife that makes changing them out quick and painless. J: Secondary Loop - The secondary loop on a framer's tool bags is useful for loads of different things and is not really intended for a "specific purpose or tool" but more of an addition option. I have seen some framers use it to carry around a small sledge hammer when doing form work for foundations and have also seen other carpenters carry around a smaller finishing hammer when doing interior work.
I have also seen this additional belt loop used for carrying around tin snips when working with metal flashing on other occasions. A really nice feature to have on framing bags. K: Keel - A keel is basically a construction grade crayon that is longer and wider than a standard crayon that you would see kids using. These are used for marking different things that do not require a very accurate mark.
A mark from a keel is a lot more visible than a pencil mark and is clearly seen, especially if you use a higher visibility color like red, white or black.
These can come in many different colors and are very inexpensive, under a buck for the keel itself. These are great for marking stud location on things that will not be seen or to outline what will be getting removed on a remodeling project. L: Storage Pouch - This storage pouch is not really designated for anything in particular but from my personal experience, I would say that you are more likely to find tools in this pouch rather than fasteners or nails.
This pouch is probably going to be used for larger tools that you need to use for that day, like a drill or can also be used to hold certain objects that you are installing like nail plates. You get the idea! M: Multi Tool Screwdriver X-in-1 - I know a lot of framers that really like to carry around a multi tool type of screwdriver.
