Well, you should probably be wearing some sort of eye protection when shooting framing nails anyway.... |

Tagger...do yourself a favor and buy a coil framer. I have a Senco stick framer, and it is a great gun, but reloading every few minutes really can be a pain.
coil framer
Hitachi NV83A2 Full Round-Head Coil Framing Nailer
stick framer
Senco SN902XP Framing Nailer
15ga finish
Senco FP42XP FinishPro 42XP Finish Nailer
I'd really like a 16 gauge finish nailer as the holes are easier to fill.
Try coastaltool.com for ordering. Excellent customer service, free UPS delivery (next day for me here in Boston), and excellent prices. |

stick nailers are for 2x stock as in putting headers,corners,rafters,joists..
coil nailers are made for plywood/sheathing/strapping..
stick nails are a heaver ga. closer to a real common nails if you buy the right nail for them.
coil nails are mere thin ga. or known as a box nail which requires you to use many as this is why they come in coils.
stick nails come with plastic holding them together because of the heavy ga. wire and an almost full head.Thinner ga. wire nails don't require this and shouldn't be use in 2x stock framing...
know your tool, know the nail in which job it's made for.

I have a Senco framer, and brad gun. I have Bostitch finish, crown stapler and roofing guns, never had any problem with any of them.
My bddy had a Hitatchi it was older, but it was heavier also.
