nail gun

[gar2191]

I need a cheap nail gun that will run on my Porter Cable pancake compressor.
I need it for Hardie plank cement siding. I am going to Home depot or Lowes tomorrow.
What gun is a good one. I need to fire stainless nails. What do you know??

My porter cable pancake came with three nail guns.

We've got guns from hf, pasloade porter cable senco etc.

All the hardi plank we put up we did it by hand.

put a few drops of oil in the gun........and turn the pressure up a tad

my Senco 1" wide crown punches 3-4 layers of flashing everytime the Pasloads were pressed to do 2

of course I have my .38/.22 Ramset too

use a palm nailer........

only problem it uses a magnet to keep the nail in........not much stainless is magnetic

Because you would use a Ramset on siding???

Only if you're AWESOME!!!!

Seriously though, aren't PATs (powder actuated tools) only used for concrete?

Only concrete. No, I've seen them used on steel too.
