Framing Guns..

FINISH TECH

my question is wich one should I buy

hitachi new light weight nr 90ae

or bostitch f21pl

the hitachi is nice and light.....but the bostitch is also a nice gun plus with a free palm nailer...

has anyone had any experince with either one and if so wich would be the best choice, my bro has been framing for 20 years and says he loves his bostitch but ive heard alot of great things about hitachi.
and what `about senco i love my finish guns how are the framers???

thanks guys

you'll hear many swear here by the Hitachi NR83A. This is what I've used exclusively, but not ever the one you're talking about. Looks too fancy shmansy for me. Prolly pretty nice.

I've dropped mine from a few floors to concrete (accidentally of course ) and they still keep nailing. I'm not positive, but they should be the fastest nailer out there. I wouldn't bother with Bostich for a framing gun.

Ive used my buddy,s hitachi and your right its bullet proof ive seen him drop it on concrete also. this one here is a little flashy like you said but it is really light wich would be great..

ive never used anything bostitch before so im gonna probily go hitachi.

Hitachi all the way. We have a Hitachi roof nailer, never had any problems. Framers, we've got De Walt, paslode, PC and Hitachi and the Hitachi outperforms all of them. Going to eventually change to all Hitachi Nailers. Thier circular saws suck though. PC or Bocsh there.

Anything vs Bostich is the way to go on framers

I've used some knock-off hitachis that had better nail magazines. Spotnails is one that comes to mind. All parts beside magazine are interchangelable with the nr83a. Cost is about two hundred bucks.

I bought the new Hitachi NR90AC3 3 months ago. Best nail gun I've owned since the old Duo-Fast (before they went blue). I have had to shoot the true 16Ds to keep the inspector happy and it blows me away that my gun fires the 3 1/2" .162ga full round. Now if we can just get the architects to get into the 21st century and stop demanding hand drive nail nomenclature in their projects. (ie .131ga 3" just for kicks)
