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

Yup.
Stop it!!biggrin

Even I can't justify £400+ on a nail gun to put a few panels on a shed.
Was thinking more along the lines of - Machine Mart

Complete tat or OK for occasional jobs??

So...got the gun, what nails do I feed it with?

Third party nails and gas are half the price of genuine Paslode.
Do third party nails jam like a bcensoredtch or are OK for DIY use?

Cheers
