Of all the crap and gizmos I have I do not have any air tools!
Planning on picking up a general use compressor like the Porter Cable.
In the future I will likely be doing a roof. I usually just hand nail since I never did an entire house in one shot. So a roofing nailer will probably be in the future as well. I could rent one but that forces hurrying to get it done.
Thought is if I just buy one of those econo Harbor Freight ones and it lasts the job it'll cost less than renting more than a few days.
Not knowing air tool details, I need some "look for"s and "look out for"s. What I've picked up so far from nosing around the Harbor Freight website is these coil roofing nailers vary. They have one for $89/$99.
They showed another, but MAGNESIUM COIL ROOFING NAILER, on sale for $99 (reg 199).
Nails:
Some say 10 gauge. Others say 11 gague . The product spec sheets say '0.12" (Approximately'. Is there some standard to look for here so you don't have o get the crappy Harbor Freight nails? I see they are listed as zinc coated vs galvanized.
Help me out with some basics here. Thanks!
