The gun I love to hate:

I'm a general contractor, I use a framing nailer for approx 8000 nails a month (2 cases of plastic coallated on average).
I love this gun. I hate this gun. I love this gun, I hate it, ....
I own two of these guns. Bought one before the metal connector tip was available. While the first one was in the repair shop for a worn-out anvil (from use, not defect), I bought the second one.
They both have great power. They both are durable (miles of abuse on the job and in the toolbox).

Building something? Get a pneumatic nailer!:

I've been intending to get a framing nail gun for a while, particularly after receiving a set of 'small' nail guns as a gift. They really made projects requiring staples, brads or finishing nails 'fly', so when I had to rebuild my patio, I went for a framing nailer.
I chose the Bostich because it had the widest range of nail sizes while still being at the low end of the price range. Also, because it had the capability of nailing frame brackets such as joist hangers, which I would be doing a lot of.more info
