Framing nailer

[Rkbertz]

Hi guys, I'm in the market to buy a framing nailer but I am not sure what to buy. This is a tool that I would be using from time to time. I am curious about what to look for?

Thanks

First up you need to decide if you’re going cordless or pneumatic. It’s a faff needing an air compressor and line but this might not be a problem in your particular circumstance. If you’re going cordless are you going to choose gas or battery? Gas can be a problem in cold temperatures, and you need to buy gas canisters. Personally I would go battery and have a DeWalt I’m very happy with. HiKOKI is well respected. You prolly won’t go far wrong with the other big mid range prosumer brands - Milwaukee, Makita etc. but no experience. You could go cheap with Ryobi, Draper etc. Ryobi has evolved into a decent low cost option and you do say it’s for occasional use.

Much as though makita make excellent cordless tools ,,their nailers are not ,,constant jamming is the main problem

got a loan of a paslode gas nailer to to fencing, it did about 50 nails at a time before it stopped working. couldn't find anything wrong with it, it just stopped firing, finished the job with a hammer.

I have used a Paslode Nailer 905600 nailer for a long time. It's more suited to production framers and have had good luck with them.
