    Question for you guys who do a lot of woodwork/siding/trim, etc. What brand of pneumatic nailers do you use/ brands you've had the least amount of trouble with?

    For me, I have some pre-2000 Porter Cable nailers- framer, brad, 18ga trim, 15ga trim and a narrow crown stapler.

    I recently bought a Bostitch N75 sheathing nailer and a Bostitch RN46 roofing nailer to do some renovation work on my house- siding, new roof, etc. Initial impressions of both are positive; very good quality. I would've stayed with PC but their quality seems to have taken a big nosedive.

    I also have some of the early senco nailers, I should dig them out and weigh them. They feel like an air powerd cinder block

    The Framepro600 is pretty light compared to the old cast 300 series

    We use to call those the Senco boat anchor
