I really prefer the Senco nailers over the DeWalt's. I can't stand the spool up time on the DeWalt, plus they are just big and awkward. The Senco fires right now when you pull the trigger, it's much more slender, and they have great power. I run the 15 gauge angled, 16 gauge straight, and the 18 gauge and they've all been flawless.

There is nearly zero spool up time with the new Dewalt nailers. It is undetectable in most cases. It will shot as fast and as long as you want till the magazine is empty.

I respectfully disagree. Yes, it will shoot almost as fast as you want once it's spooled up, but no self respecting finish carpenter bump fires. The spool lag is very noticeable to me. Being fully invested in the 20V yellow line I would love to use the yellow nailers, but I don't think they perform well. The Sencos work so well that my gripe about having another battery platform has completely subsided.

I rarely have the nailers on bump fire, as you stated, just not needed. The spool up time is somewhere around 1/2 second. I use the 20v cordless nailers exclusively side by side with the Paslode nailers. I am never bothered nor inconvenienced by the fractional spool up time. My work isn't slowed down any. It may be preferential aspect to the DeWalt style flywheel nailers however it doesn't affect how much work one gets done.

15, 18, 18 stapler. Now, for storage.....


I really like the kit boxes that my 18v 15 gauge and 18 gauge and pneumatic 18 narrow crown stapler live in.


Will my new guns fit in T Stak cases? I don't want to do tough system because they are too long for my shelving in the van.

They all fit in a Tstak basic case. The 18ga will require battery removal though. Not a big deal.
