Years ago, when I was using my 35mm camera a lot, I bought one of the
small aluminum suitcases, used foam inserts which I cut for my lenses,
etc. It worked extremely well and offered good protection. Most people
didn't even realize it was a standard (from those years) suitcase I was
using. That it was red helped a bit, perhaps. It was also waterproof
(maybe) because of the sealant on the edges. If you are lucky enough to
find something like that, it will work very well. Mine cost me less than
$10 with the bulk of the price being the foam (packing type, of course).
Perhaps a large cosmetic case would be the right size for your nailer.
Good luck on finding something that is just right. The advantage of a
piece of metal luggage is that those were made for rough handling in
baggage areas and they are lightweight. I found two light blue ones a bit
larger than the one from before with the idea that eventually, I'll have a
use for them for the granddaughters (other than for luggage<g>). When I
can find aluminum luggage that is in top shape for $3 a case, that *is* a
good deal. :-)
This is written with the understanding that aluminum may not be the metal
used, but those of you who have seen them, know what I'm talking about.
Good luck.
