Nailer question

[dustym]

I need to replace the siding on my house and garage, and am going with that cement board type. It is suggested to use nails with a ring shank to attach to house. I am looking for a nail gun that would work for that or a nail gun or type of other nails to use?

My framing nailer accepted ring shank 8d nails we used on our Hardieboard. I just had to turn the pressure down.

^^^^+1, i try to get the most use out of my tools so if i can do multiple jobs with the same tool and get good results, thats the way i go.

I just did about 500 sq. ft. and used one of these - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000225JZ/?tag=atomicindus08-20 -it worked great! The trick is not to over nail them. Best to set them a bit shallow and hand drive if needed.

We have had great results with a regular roofing nailer. 1 3/4 roofing nails and they hold real well.

I like the max guns but a bostitch or hitachi are good choices as well
