I just ordered a Paslode cordless framing nailer. Now I'm looking at all the choices there are for nails . . .
A friend has the same nailer, and says he uses the 2-3/8 ring nails for just about everything. I'm looking to do fairly general stuff in the short term (shelves, etc.), and build a garage next spring.
I will probably be using mostly rough cut hemlock 2x's & pine 1x's, so I expect I'll need some of the longer 3-1/4 nails for framing. I'd love to get a selection, but can't seem to find nails in smaller quantities, and don't want to buy large quantities of nails I may not use.
What do people seem to find the most versatile for size & finish, and should I stick with the Paslode, or are the Grip-Rite and other brands OK to use?
Thanx Don
