Re: Coil Or Stick? ( Framing Nailer )


When I was framing I preferred the 'stick' framing nailer. When framing, I hate coming out of a working groove to go to the table and get a coil. Much quicker to slap in a rail or two. I always had a nail bag dedicated to nail rails. Coils are bulky. In my experience, they both jam up. But maintenance aside it has always been my preference to use the 'stick' nailers.

Stick Nailer, so much easier to work with. Coils to me are just to bulky and get in the way.
