Hey ya'll, of all the finish nailers out there, who's is the best, I have
looked at Bostich, and love the feel, its light, but got to use there nails,
due to angle of the magazine, even though Porter Cable says right on a pack
of nails their nails will work, will slide in, but dont line up right.
Any way, who ya'll think has the better one out there.
Thanks

Of the ones I have used, I like Senco, Hitachi, Bostich, Porter Cable
in that order. They all work.

You're just going to get a bunch of personal preferences, cheap
versus expensive responses.

Here is an article to explain some of the issues:
<http://www.toolsofthetrade.net/industry-news.asp?sectionID=0&articleID=501441>

Availability of service and consumables is probably most
important. I have a good friend that buys Harbor Freight cheapies
(about $15 on sale). We have used his gun on several jobs where I
ended up liking its lack of safety, lightness, and compactness
better than my Senco for some tight work. My Senco will probably
outlast his cheapo, but he can buy quite a few of them for what I
have invested.

you might also strongly consider a hoseless gun if you don't have
a compressor or will do small remote jobs.

Hey guys, thanks for the info, was in the local Home Depot, and there was
one already wating on me, did not have to get any one to get it down, just
right there in front of it, when I took the demo down and handed it to the
wife, and said "feel" her words, "its light:" so we got the bostitch right
then, the oil free idea is great, seems to work pretty good, had to try it
out when we got home on some scrap, oh yes, do have a compressor.
Once again, thanks
