![]() ![]() Mvflaim makes an important point.I have an older Hitachi that just won't quit, and this year I bought a Makita AN942 clipped head gun on a whim. And while those are a little more than the other offerings out there, the comparison isnt like Dewalt vs Festool or Fein, their $300 gun might be $375 for the Max. It would be darn hard to use anything else now. Honestly its the only one that pretty much not only flushes the nails the most consistantly but will do that even in LVLs. You can still go to a Senco distributor and get the real deal, but for my money, when my Sen finally quit, I liked the features and the power of the Max better, and its a heck of a great gun. They started catering to a lower cost market with alternate versions of their tools sold through some venues like the box stores, and Hitachi decided they wanted to grab some market. Senco for years really had the public opinion polls won on air guns but two things happened. Like any tool discussion, there's the hodgepodge of other brands listed as well, and the jokes, like PC. ![]() I'm over at BT about 100 times more than here and I can say I do hear a lot of guys real happy with Hitachi in general. Do you need to get into tighter spaces, hang it from the rafters? Depends some on how much you're going to use it, how much you want to spend, and I suspect to some degree how and where you're going to use it. I like the Paslode to the extent that when the rental zone of Home Depot had one of their rentals marked for sale, I paid $150 for it,the Orange carrying case, safety glasses, battery, and charger. The thing won't fire if it gets wet.I guess the spark wire shorts due to the water. The other downer is that it doesn't like wet weather. The old framing hammer has to go back and do the rest. The denser chemically filled wood leaves the nail standing proud a 1/2" tall. 131 x 3" ring shank nail, in really small print in the manual, it doesn't recommend using that nail on Pressure Treated wood. I've been using mine since May, so the right side of my body has more muscle than my left. The down side is the Orange Paslode Framer weighs about 8 pounds. No hose has it's advantages, plus with the 2x4 hanger on the handle, it'll stay where you hang it if you're up nailing on those high rafters. Got mine when Lowe's ran a 15% off tool sale and the Home Depot gave me Lowe's price, plus an extra 10% Off.and charge it with no interest for a year. I've been using the Orange "cordless" Paslode framing nailer that uses a battery and a canister of eather or propane. and need to be returned for ANY reason, including out of box failure or warranty repair, the customer is solely responsible for all return shipping costs.The round head Hitachi gets good reviews.
