I've only ever bought Paslode ammo so can't help. Works flawlessly though.

What can go wrong???

Looking for an AIR nail gun that fires proper nails not brads - have already got one of those.
Will be used for fixing battens and cladding. I'm thinking around 50-60mm long.

Slight complication is that I must be able to get stainless & normal nails in the right angle or coiled.
What's best angled or coiled?


Budget is around £100-150 so not enough for Paslode!
Cheers
Any any other recommendations for an AIR powered nail gun

I have the Paslode 350+ its not to bad, a couple of lads i work with have looked at the Dewalt. Its no bigger than the Paslode but they have said its heavier and not well balanced. If i had the choice now i would probably go for the Hilti, as i know if it broke it would be repaired and returned in a couple of days..

I have one and within the first week the paslode was long forgotten and sold.
Yes it's big but it packs a mean punch, the bump mode means I can put 2x the amount of nails as a gas gun.
I can't wait for winter when the paslode boys are warming spare gas in their boxers so they can carry on working!!

It is a fair size, smokes there for scale. Them Paslode boys probably couldn't lift it... biggrin
