HF framing nailer?

[DodgeZ]

Do they sell one worth using? I am building a shed right now and hopefully a shop in a couple years so it won't be used much. I am trying to figure out if it worth buying one.

I've hade mine for 2 years now, love it, just make sure you oil it, I did my addition on the shop with it, my sister has it now framing up her new hoouse. Nails are a bit hard to come by, but the chinese tool store always has them. Keith

Make sure you get the right angle nail for the gun, i'm surprised how many people will get a 21 degree for a 28 degree gun. I've used mine for a couple years and have been happy.

They sell several different framing nailers, so do some checking and buy one that you can buy nails for locally.

I wouldn't recommend one of the 28 degree nailers like I have only because the nails are harder to find outside of HF. The 28 degree nails at all my local stores are wire collated, not paper taped.

And, yes, oil it. Mine will misfire occasionally if I don't.

I've had mine for about 5 years.

i told the last guy who started a thread on this
find yourself a good used bostitch or paslode gun
i bought a used bostitch for 125.00 to frame my basement
some of the best money ever spent
i have heard nothing but horrer stories about cheap offshore guns

Now, i dont have a framing nailer but i do have about 6 different staplers, brad and pin nailers and they all work great. Maybe it shows that the framers can be good also.

i scored an almost new senco nailer for 30 bucks...they didn't know why it didn't work...I did..lol..1 10 cent pin later ;-)

For the money I like mine, but about every 3rd shot is a "dry fire". Other than that, no jams and if you buy one, HF usually stocks the nails. But like said previously, may be a little hard to find around town.
