For my light duty stuff, I use their 16ga finish nailer, 18ga brad nailer, 1 1/4" crown stapler, and a screen stapler as they call it. It takes Arrow staples to 9/16. I have issues with the 16ga finish nailer in that it won't set a long finish nail reliably. I have to turn up the pressure at the compressor to 125 lbs and even then it will sometimes leave a nail high. A nail set is almost worthless on their nails too as it just bends instead of going into the wood. When it does it, most of the area knows I'm not a happy camper. All of the framing guns are Hitachi. I've never had one go back to the shop for repairs. But then every Saturday evening they all get lubed and cleaned spotlessly including the unreliable cordless Paslode framers and crown staplers. Those are so bad even the pawn shops won't take them. If the batteries aren't bad, the gas cylinders need replacing or they just won't work at all. I have one nailer and one stapler in like new condition, any offers?
