Every year we put on Nailer Day, which is a day of fun for local contractors. It gives us an opportunity to connect with our local customers and give everyone a chance to win cash prizes and giveaways, and to participate in our much anticipated annual Fastest Nailer in the East contest. This year’s Nailer Day was on March 21st and we had a blast!
Check out some of our favorite highlights from the event.
Competitors in the Fastest Nailer in the East contest must nail down 18 square feet of red oak in the fastest time possible. They may use any nailer of their choosing. Time is added on for violations of NWFA standards, including gaps. The number of cleats used are also recorded and factored into the final time.
This year saw a new Fastest Nailer in the East winner! Ricardo From RM Floors clinched the title with a time of 3 minutes and 15 seconds including penalties, winning a cash prize of $500.
In second place was previous reigning Fastest Nailer champ, Robert O’Connell of O’Connell’s Custom Concept, with a time of 3 minutes and 26 seconds.
For the team division of the contest, Ricardo and Fernando of RM Floors won with a time of 2 minutes and 33 seconds.
Contractors had a chance to network with one another as well, and to learn about new products from their favorite vendors like Primatech, Glitsa, Powernail, and more. Check out our Facebook Live video about some of the bestselling products by American Sanders, Rubio Monocoat, and Norton.
Vendors gave away door prizes (all attendees were entered) including a Primatech 250AR nailer, a 4K HD TV, a Galaxy RS-100 edger, and much more.
We also offered free labor on nailer repairs all day, saving contractors a ton of money. A delicious, free catered lunch was also provided!
A big thank you to everyone who made it out to Nailer Day! It was a great day full of fun. If you didn’t make it out this year, we hope to see you for Nailer Day 2020!
