Nailer Query

[Hylourgos]

A couple of thoughts. First, if you're just curious you might try the HF model, which is commonly on sale for around $40 (the whole kit).

As a replacement for a framing nailer, my thoughts are that it's an apples/oranges thing. If you need a framing nailer, the palm nailer will not satisfy you. I have one, and use it on occasion, and am grateful for it. But I see it as useful only in tight quarters. I'd

*much* rather have a decent framing hammer than a palm nailer to do most framing projects.

good for fascia work though, where all of the weight of a stick nailer wants to pull you off of the roof.

Sam's is a great place to shop. I was cruising the tools area and found they had the Porter Cable 2.5" finish nailer and the sign said $35. I took it up front and it rang up $180. The manager went over to check the sign, came back and said I got a great deal on that one.
