I have two Positive Placement nailers and they're great but I know there's some other brands out there that are good also and I think one has an attachment to the framing gun that converts it to a hanger nailer that might be better for you. I bought mine when they first came out but if you can get one that acts as two guns your better off.
2000 hangers. Can you post a picture off the roof framing because I would love to see it.
hammer.. we have the Bostich N88RH.. great framing gun, lot's of power..
and you can change noses in about 30 seconds to a Positive Placement nose..
also, Bostich makes hanger nails rated for ACQ
very easy to use and get the nail in the correct hole on the connector.. even for a blind guy like me
