| My uncle uses a passload battery operated framing nailer and brought it up to do a deck when visiting the last time.  He loves it and uses it quite a bit.  I have a Rigid 18v reciprocating saw and drill.  The battery life of the drill is great - much better than the Ryobi cordless that I have, so the manufacturer of the tool may play a bit into how well and long a charge will work.  BTW - not a carpenter, but did a lot of home remodeling when we bought a real fixer-upper. |
