I do find it amazing that people still use framing nailers with an air hose, I moved to a paslode gas framing nail gun in 2011 and even though it was an early version of it it was a night and day difference with how much easier and simpler it was to use, also how less fatiguing it is to use, I got the chance to use a Hikoki recently and that was such a step up from the paslode, I don't think I could bare the thought of having to go back to using a air powered nail gun again!

@julestuscher7871 Жыл бұрын

Well tbh if you have to sheet inner walls for exemple the lighter gun and possibility to shoot bigger nails faster is nice. Nails are cheaper too. Passlode is old tech in the world of battery guns imho

@drewburgess8097 Жыл бұрын

Paslodes are just so much more expensive to use, the nails alone are what 20% more and than the gas. Paslodes also can’t shoot nearly as quickly as air guns, I have my Paslode and I enjoy using it when I need to but air guns are just a lot nicer

I would also add that in my opinion, as a professional trades person; measuring is an area where you want to buy good quality, and not cheap stuff. Levels for example are not born the same, but can be vastly different from each other.

I will be 80 in a few days. We're building a "tiny home" with my daughter. I have been in construction for most of my life. Power nailers & other tools are essential for professionals, but even one time builders can justify many. I bought a special nailer just for metal fasteners like joist hangers & hurricane straps that more than paid for itself in just this one project. Not only faster, but safer & more accurate. Also fall restraints well worth cost when you don't have to be exposed to mortal danger & can feel more "comfortable" in otherwise dangerous situations.

"Bakers" scaffolding is damn handy. Also highly recommend the levelling legs and the unit with the hatch in the platform. The legs make the scaffolding useful for the uneven outside ground, and the hatch is absolutely necessary If you set up the scaffolding with an offset or in a tight space.

Retired builder. You guys nailed it. The only thing you didn't say was about carrying multiple of the tools and levels in case one breaks . Measuring tape I always carried 3 25 ft. Because someone was going to break their tape . We wouldn't stop so they could replace it.. . Retired about 13 years ago would not count on batteries always corded plus a generator. Good to hear that your getting away from it, lol you all missed the fun of running a 100 lbs of nails by hand in a day. Wow could we slam nails, I carried my first framing gun every where even took it out to dinner a few times. Was that a nice change.

@vtheofilis 2 жыл бұрын

Glad that you recommend cordless tools. And very glad that you urge for "loyalty" in a brand. I would add that you need to be loyal in one voltage system, too. Or pick a brand that has multi voltage compliant battery chargers. If you can't find a brand with everything you need, pick one that has the most, AND STICK WITH IT. For the rest, pick one brand that has what the other misses. Cordless tools put less stress on construction site generators too. A small generator can run multiple chargers. Or you can use a photovoltaic panel. No noise, no fuel, no lubricant, less parts that can malfunction. Pneumatic and grid powered electric only where there aren't cordless options.

@craftedworkshop 2 жыл бұрын

Those were 5Ah batteries if I remember correctly. I recommend having a variety of sizes, personally. I really like a lighter 2Ah battery on an impact driver and nailers, as it keeps the weight down significantly. For things like circular saws and track saws, I don't seem to notice the added weight as much.

For me dewalt makes the best saws which is the most used tool for framing the only tool for framing, also a nail gun. But dewalt they are just very tough tools we still have our 13-15 year old dewalt saws and saw zalls before we we went cordless. Milwaukee are just popular amongst homeowner Harry’s that don’t even do any sort of carpentry they are just diy’ers.

@johnhenderson466 2 жыл бұрын

As a 23 year Union carpenter on the west coast, I disagree with your circular saw suggestion. The only circular saw that we use on the west coast is a worm drive "SKILSAW". They are synonymous in carpentry here on the west coast, especially in the residential and commercial building industry. Also I know lasers are reliable, but a plumbbob is also a necessity. Other than thoes two, good list.

lol~ It is really an art to use the hammer drill, never go all the way in the concrete. Also, someday you can use the same drill bit all day, and someday you break 5 of them. Don't ask me why. So if you are a beginner, make sure you have plenty bits to begin with.

@InneresErdbeerfluecken 2 жыл бұрын

If you break more than one drill you are drilling iron and your drill isn't made for iron. I recommend a drill with four blades which are mostly made for the heavy workload. They cost about 20-50% more. Those work well from 12mm and above if your drill is under 12mm switching to a normal steel drill is faster and cheaper. Good Luck
