| your favorite pneumatic framing nailer
i'm looking for a good framing nailer. my father in law has a huge porter cable and it's nice, but i don't know if i need anything that big. i'll be using it for finishing my basement (walls and such), building a tool shed, etc.
i've read that different types use a different degree of pitch for the nails, but i don't know what is good, or common, or whatever.
any advice, thoughts, links to nailers would be great.

| I've always had good luck with Senco. Used and abused day after day, week after week.

| I second the Senco, have used one a good deal and never had any feed problems. If you have Dewalt cordless tools already you may want to consider their new cordless line,have sold a few and so far the reports seem good. I just like the idea of no hoses!

| I think that's the one I have, and it has worked fine. I don't use it every day though so I don't know how it would perform under heavy use. | |

| I built my garage with a Porter Cable one - no complaints. We use the Senco SN70 for building concrete forms in our yard at work - going on six years with no repairs.

| The Senco is wonderful but for me my Porter Cables are awesome as well. I have the larger framing nailer and also a small finish nailer. Both have basically worked perfectly. One nice thing, at least for me, with the PC is that you can ask for another trigger style which requires a separate pull from the trigger each and every time. I'm not the type to just speed bump shoot, I like to place and pull for more accuracy so PC will provide the single shot trigger for free if you call and ask about it. HTH.
