Love the (gas) Paslodes, but they are finicky if you do not clean and maintain religiously. Bought two at Lowes at half price, rebuilt or returns. Finish is an angled gun, more tempermental. Framer is a workhorse. Glue on finish nails can clog the gun if heated up by too many nails in short timeframe. Pneumatic guns have more depth adjustment via the gun or pressure gauge, acording to softness of wood/length of fastener needed. Quick hit jobs= Paslode. All others=pnuematic. New lightweight hoses make it so much easier too. Took four of the old heavy hoses to the swap shed this summer. If you haven't gotten these hoses, do yourself a favor... four new hoses are the same weight of one old one! Battery powered tools are too dependent on their charge level which can effect consistent performance. Get the old finish gun rebuilt for 50 bucks and enjoy the portable gun for the smaller stuff.
