Positive Placement Nailers

My Hitachi still brings the luv!

I don't know what y'alls codes are, but here we are metal applying freaks.

When I see 8 or 10 MST48s or MST60s...I smile. My Hitachi makes metal shooting a breeze.

I use it at least once per project. Well worth the price.

Yeah I know, it can hit anyone at different times, maybe at 60, maybe at 25. I rarely do any intensive hand banging though.

I take back what i was going to say

Well, they make both, as stated above me...
I suggest getting both!

With the PP nailer you would have had all the hangers in within 20 minutes. Add 10 more minutes if you needed to add hurricane ties as well...
1h57m, maybe if you had to drive back home 1st because you forgot the gun...

I use the Stanley Bostitch 21° plastic collated framing nailer that switches to a positive placement nailer
1 gun, covers framing nails upto 3.5" & does both 1.5" & 2.5" PP nails
The nails have to be ordered in, but I keep them on-hand
It also works great on white wood installing rafter ties...

There is NO WAY I would give up my pp nailer, palm nailer,...
Maybe these guys should go back to wood-drift nails & t&g connections...

What year is this anyway?

This one seems like a good deal, but not much time left...ends in just a few hours.

That is probably the difference.

Us guys that work just ourselves or have a small crew we can look after our tools properly.

I find in large companies it is much more common for tools to be overly abused.

i've been using the hitachis, and so long as they're lubed, and cleaned every now and again they perform really well. i have both the short and the long magazine versions, but tend to use long mag guns more often (fewer reloads).

as far as the guns paying for themselves. i think owning at least one is a must for anyone who does any amount of framing. hitachis are about 350 a pop i believe, and will save the fingers and joints of the ones you love most (your indispensible (sp?) grunts).

Well Thank you too all for posting your information.

I know it has helped my decision Greatly...

I am hoping to find these guns in person, and see how heavy this Paslode really is.

Thanks for all the info.
