Pneumatic Nailers

I'm looking for a good quality Finish nailer. I have a project coming up where I need to trim out a small condo. Anyone have any recommendations? I was looking at Bostitch and Hitachi, they seem to be nice.

Any sites out there that review tools?

Any finish carpenters in CSCLand?

I like the Paslodes and have three of them, two framers and one 16 ga. finish nailer.
No compressors to drag around and if you have a small job it's a snap.
If your stuck on pneumatic nailers than go with the one you can get the best price on. Their both good.

How do the Paslode cordless models work? Battery? something like a CO2 cartridge?

It has a butane gas like cartrige and a rechargable battery. They ain't toys and they're powerfull MF'ers. You see more and more of them in the field all the time. Guys like'em cause you don't have to hump a compressor around and no pain in the ass air hoses to tangle around you feet.

I recently got a Porter Cable that is Battery Powered or air powered, pretty neat machine and did a great job on our recent addition.

Paslodes are sick, I think they qualify as weapona [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Thats funny you say that. We have been known to fire one off at one another from time to time.

Thats a thought....Probibly would beat the hell out of tail looping'em and dragging'em backwards.
