Hitachi Cordless Framer? Or Paslode.
Folks,
I am intending to buy a cordless framer, the most common one here in the UK is the Paslode. However Hitachi have brought out a rival that uses the same gas and nails. Has anyone tried one of these? I have a Hitachi skillsaw that has taken a real battering and works well. I notice that Hitachi air nailers get very good reviews.

I went into a local tool store today and the guy said that of the 5 he sold 4 came back so he had stopped selling them!
Paslode -
Have one for framing dating from mid '90s. Still works fine. Clean as needed and make sure your gas bottles are current. Stale gas will cause misfired.
Boss has one for trim. Works fine. See a lot of these on the jobs.
I would go with Paslode. They have been at it longer.
