Is there such a thing a good battery powered framing nailer or should I go the old route with air? I have several projects coming up but at the moment don't want to spend a fortune. Your opinions on what type is best is appreciated. Thanks, Sarge

Paslode framing nailers are very nice but the gas cartridges are pricey. I have used a Harbor Freight pneumatic nailer for the last few years for a couple of building projects and it has done the job with both 8d and 16d nails. I am not a professional builder but for a few projects the price will be right IMO!

I used a 20v dewalt battery operated one this past summer..... If I needed one more often, Id have my own.... No more dragging compressors around, pulling hoses........ switch batteries and keep nailing...

Milwaukee just released their new 18v framing nailer and the reviews are really good. I will be getting one soon. I have used the Dewalts and they work good. I would stay away from any that use gas!


don't worry over the smart ones. catch the dumb ones, they pay the same.

i can do it because i dont know that i cant.

I can't stand my Paslode Framers or Finishers. They are so fussy about being clean and having fresh gas that I consider them highly undependable.
I don't even know why I keep them. I never use them.
Hitachi air Framer and learn good hose management.


Nowadays it just don't pay to be a good 'ol boy.

Milwaukee M18 trim nailer is very good. I use a Milwaukee air nailer for framing.

I haven't tried the battery powered tools.Too new-fangled for me.

I have a Paslode and Hitachi round head framing nailers. Prefer the Hitachi but nothing wrong with the Paslode. Just ergonomics.
Also a Senco finish nailer. All pneumatics .

What's with the spell check on this site ?? It has never heard the word PNEUMATICS ??

For the big stuff I use a Paslode. Love that thing. all the smaller stuff is done with air nailers and staplers. I use hardwood and have found that the passcode has the most power so I don't have nails sticking out that need hammering in. And I don't like to trip over hoses. The 40 foot cord I have on my saw is annoying enough.

just my opinion , if your driving enough nails to make a framing nailer worth while , go air.

if your not putting in enough to warrant an air hose , pull out your hammer or use the impact driver and some screws.

I have the rigid 3 1/2 inch round head 21 degree
