What Is The Best Pneumatic Nail Gun Kit
Any thoughts on the better nail gun kit, Bostisch or Porter Cable?

Re: What Is The Best Pneumatic Nail Gun Kit
Better in what way?
I'm partial to P-C, and have had very good luck with their nail guns... |

Re: What Is The Best Pneumatic Nail Gun Kit
I like PC stuff but the Bostisch has an extra ½” capacity in the stapler, although they use that 3/16 staple when it seems everyone else uses ¼.
The thing I am looking for is durability and reliability. I couldn’t help but notice that both are made in China. I like and am willing to pay for American made stuff where I can find it. |

Re: What Is The Best Pneumatic Nail Gun Kit
The only nail guns I'm aware of the are made in the States, are the Paslode cordless, but I bet they are assembled with global components.

Re: What Is The Best Pneumatic Nail Gun Kit
My rule is that I buy from companies that make their products where their company is based. Hitachi makes their tools in Japan. That works for me. It's better than American companies making tools in China.

Re: What Is The Best Pneumatic Nail Gun Kit
I've got no complaints with Senco trim tools, havn't tried their framing line.

I also stay away if it's low quality, and I've found that a lot of the Chinese based companies tend to aim at the lower market. |
