Ive bought an old paslode nail gun, well 2 actually. 350/90 model. I saw them both tested, and fired a few nails myself. But I feel that a few tweaks of the nails and gas cylinder were needed by the vendor and maybe I have to learn the same. Can anyone point me to an instruction manual or a good youtube demo? I've got to buy batteries and charger but that looks straightforward. Nails, the guy said to get slanted, partial headed ones. Nail and gas prices seem to vary a lot. Can't see the reason for that except maybe SF and TS charge what they can. Either it's a bargain at £70 each or I've bought somebody else's problems. Do feel free to say.

I've seen people mention they had issues with certain nails and gas for their nail guns and just wondered what people would recommend for my nail gun. Obviously the cheaper the better but without the issues of nails not firing Am I right in saying the issues with gas are in winter? Otherwise are they all the same? Cheers Vijay

Our frame is ordered and I still need a nail gun or two - recommendations would be great. Paslode 350/360 seems the obvious choice and should sell easily when finished but If I'm missing other options please say! Should I be considering air guns and a compressor set up as it'll only be used on one site so less of an issue with mobility etc? Thanks

At the moment I am using two different nail guns: a Hitachi gas gun for framing, and a Clarke coil nailer that runs off a compressor and fires full head nails up to 70mm. initial impressions are that the gas nailer is handier in many ways, no hose to drag around behind you, but overall I don't think it's any faster to use as it has more issues with jams, cold gas, and of course needs reloaded more frequently. I have been surprised by how temperamental it can be below about ten degrees celsius. The coil gun has the option of sequential firing which can make scarily rapid progress on things like sheathing. Even running it off a cheap little 12l compressor it is faster than I am. The main thing that drove me to get the coil nailer was that I was able to buy stainless full head nails for a fraction of the price of the Paslode-type ones for the gas gun. I will need these for my timber cladding and the relatively cheap coil nailer has probably already paid for itself just through the difference in cost of the nails. Plus, no more taking out fuel cells and sticking them in your armpit until they are warm enough to work!
