This review is from: Grex P-6/50-2.5 23 Gauge 2-Inch Length Headless Pins (2,500 per Box) (Tools & Home Improvement)

I recently picked up the P650L after having the PC 23ga pinner (1/2" to 1") for about 6 months for my woodworking. I was a bit of a skeptic at first that headless pins could provide holding power but so many friends on [...] raved about them for joining wooden pieces together, I decided to give it a shot. What I learned was that by angling the pins relative to each other the shear force of the pins holds them together, rather than the friction of the wood on the pin. I found them very useful for everything from holding trim pieces on table edges while glue dried to holding a piece of wood to a scarificial scrap while routing but found the 1/2" to 1" length somewhat limiting. Enter the P645L, capable of 1/2" to 2" pins (and 3/8" pins if you use a rubber band to temporarily override their "low pin" sensor.

After receiving the Grex pinner and pins I decided to start with the ultimate test, loaded it with 2" pins, set the air for 100 psi and stacked up 5 pieces of scrap hard maple, about 1/2" thick apiece. The pinner drove the pins fully into the stack of maple with the head of the pin perfectly seated just barely below the surface of the wood. Two more pins at varying angles and, without glue, it still took me a chisel and a lot of force to get them apart. I give these pins and pinners two thumbs up... more if I had them! By the way, with the wide range of pins this supports, I've found having 2 pinners convenient.

When practicing my dovetailing by building some shop drawers I tried driving a 1-3/8" pin through each end of the joint (and several pins), it instantly hard-locked the drawers; no Bessey's needed! Another couple of strategically placed pins (shorter, other pinner) immobilized the shelf while allowing for humidity-based wood expansion. The good thing was that, like pocket holes, there was no waiting for glue to dry. The advantage is the 23 ga pin holes are nearly invisible.
