Air Compressor for Nailing

[C-5 CC]

Get a Makita 2400. Runs fine on a 15 AMP circut. I have three of the previous model (2000 and 2200, I think)and one of the DeWalt D55155. The DeWalt needs a 20 AMP circut to run consistently well, and it doesn't like cold weather at all. I definately prefer the Makitas. I use mostly Bostich guns and 3/8" hose. The guns operate more reliable with that then the 1/4" hose. I have been in construction for about 18 years, and owner of my own business for the last 10, so i guess I have put most tools out there to the test. The Paslode guns are OK, but you have to clean them RELIGIOUSLY. I have owned 4 of them (2 trim and 2 framing), and returned one of each because they consistently failed to operate. The two remaining guns work well only if I have one of my guys clean and lube them every day that they are used.
good luck
