Re: Nail Guns


Never had a problem with my Porter Cable. I think it was $179. Never tried an electric...

Re: Nail Guns


Thanks Otto. I don't believe that the electric ones will completely drive the nails so I'll look for an air power one.

Re: Nail Guns


I would stick with the air powered. You can get cylinder air portables that work well, but they are kind of pricey.

Like Otto, we have a couple of Porter Cable guns... never any problems. We found ours bargain priced at a pawn shop.

Re: Nail Guns


how big of a nail are you thinking of using?

Home Depot has a 5 gun/compressor combo for $429


Or the 3 gun/compressor combo for $299


My mom bought the second one and it works great. The compressor would be a little small for a full time construction guy, and you might need to get a bigger gun depending on how big of a nail you wanted to drive.

Re: Nail Guns


Yeah... fine system...

You can actually order the 3 gun kit from the Shack Tool Store for $279 with free shipping and no taxes...



Awesome reviews on that package too!
