Leo G

Ya, I have a framer and a 16ga trimmer. I rarely do maintenance on them and they always function.

I ended up picking the framer up a couple of weeks ago, so far I love it. I have only used it for a little bit of framing and furring out some walls. I am going to be framing a small deck with it this week, it should get a good workout then. You guys are right, there is a smell but it goes away pretty quick. The only thing I don't like is if the nose peice isn't all the way down it wont fire. I am going to look into maybe moddifying it if I can.


One question though, when you push the nose peice down, does the gas cannister top door move up too? MIne does I was guessing thats normal.

Yep. Normal. I thought something was wrong to.
As far as cleaning. I think it needs services every 9 gas canisters. So unless you are building houses everyday all day you wont need to service the gun all that frequently. I have gone through a couple of cases of nails and still haven't used 9 gas canisters.

I have both as well and find mine are most finicky after cleaning. Once they get a little dirty, they work much better.

I've got the angle and the framer. Love them. the newer ones (orange tip) are a little less top heavy than the original orange ones. I also know a guy that has the original black finish nailer. Said it was about 18 years old... kept up with my new one all day. Impressive.

The tip is a pain, but if you keep it sharp it will engage better. Just a few scratches with a file and good as new. Prevents me from popping myself, which I think may happen a lot doing bathroom remodels, since space is tight.

I have the straight 16 ga and the framer. As mentioned, they must get a regular cleaning, depending on use of course. For smaller jobs, it's pretty handy to just throw 1 or 2 plastic cases in the truck as opposed to compressor, cord and hoses. Carburetor degreaser is a cheaper alternative to the spray.

I'd like to try out the new framer.

This is a great attachment to have with the framers. You can nail exterior trim without the worry of marking the board up.

I have a few for the older and newer models.

Sweet! Thanks for the link Jason. I was hoping they made a rubber tip for the gun.

With the rubber tip on does it effect toe nailing at all? Does the nosepeice still have to be pushed so far down?

Try to hit the material @ 90 degrees with the rubber tip; it has a tendency to slide at an angle.

You can adjust this nose piece just like the other one for depth/flush. Much easier with the new one! The older model requires a hex key.
