Plan to put up some walls in the basement shop. Thought it would be a good time to get a framing nailer. ( I framed my cabin a few years back with my trusty Hammer and 16D nails and my arm is still tired). I have both finish and brad nailers and a PC pancake compressor.
My questions are: What is the best Framing Nailer for me (I'll be used it only ocassionally as a hobbyist)? Best place to buy?(They seem to be in the $200-300 range)?
Of what importance are the degrees of the gun itself? I've seen 21,22,28 etc and are the nails readily available? And Lastly, best one for weight/power ratio. I have a bad back(and Knee ) so lightest one w sufficient power would be my goal. lmk your thoughts...thanks
