You may not regard yourself as a professional but one thing I love about your tool series is the obvious depth of your product knowledge, highlighted by the benefit of your hands-on experience when you're explaining each tool. :) _(versus the reviews from some folk, even well known ones, where it sometimes feels like they only just learned it...)_

you can get plastic tip cover for framing nailer often called "no mar pads" for doing siding

To me, the biggest reason I got a siding/fencing gun instead of just putting shorter nails in my framing gun, is because the siding nails are a much thinner gauge which means they are less likely to split apart Hardi-Board and for fence boards it's less likely to spit the end grain open. Also, the framing guns are much more powerful. They hit with a much harder punch that could cause damage, even if the depth setting is adjusted.

Thank you SO much, Al, for explaining how to choose an air tool, what each are for and how to maintain them! Awesome videos!!!

This is a really good comparison and tutorial. Blessings for your family. Stay warm.

I chose the N75C-1 for framing, sheathing, siding and fencing. Dewalt and Bostitch have identical guns in the N66, N75 and most other versions due to being under the same corporation but the N75 can use 1-1/2" to 3" nails that are slightly heavier gauge. They both weigh the same and have removable rubber tips for siding and interior planking. The N75 excels at framing and sheathing over foam board, which requires longer nails. My old 3-1/2" strip nail framing gun weighs 12 lbs so this 5 lb'er is a pleasure to use and holds 3 times the number of nails.

you can buy a sky hook and add it to the framing nailer they also have them for the worm drive saws as well. my hitachi framing nailer has a siding foot i added on so you don't mar siding and it controls depth as well.

Cool curtain rod holders! Nice job explaining the tools for the everyday guy or gal, keep up the good work Al!

Al - BIG thanks for making this video. I'm just getting ready to purchase some of these and this vid answered all of my questions - thanks again!

Good day to you All !! Another fantastic tool time talk on the difference between framing nail gun and siding nail gun !! 👍😁🔨🔫

Really learned a lot. I have never had a nail gun. If I have that kind of project I always call my BIL who did construction professionally for years. After learning more I think I should be buying myself a brad nailer at the least.

Don't throw away the curtain rod holders. Use them for a surprise give away. I know I would like them, and I bet others would too. I love all of your videos. A lot of great info. Stay warm and safe this winter. Thanks for sharing.

Great video on nail guns. A really nice tool to have. Greetings from Andreas on Off Grid Sweden

Great video! The information you've provided is awesome. Learned so much! THANKS

Good information. 1- framing nailer, 2 - roofing nailer, 3- siding nailer, for a frame carpenter. Lots of houses use different types of siding and we used vinyl most so I put the roofing nailer first. If your a trim carpenter then the fininh nailer first and the pinner next. I did a lot of cabinet work and the narrow crown stapler works great and for soffit and fascia it works great with stainless steel staples. In reality if your going to build houses, you need them all.

I find now with the new building codes and hurricane construction I am lucky to get 2 houses out of a framing gun. With the older all metal ones I could triple that. s I even had a few older ones rebuilt and they lasted longer than a new ones.

Very useful for a newbie like me considering buying a used framer and brad gun

great explanations on the tools. thanks have a great day

18K! Yahoo! Keep it going! I really do appreciate your tool videos. Thanks!

Those curtain rod brackets are pretty cool. If you let Olivia paint faces on them, they'd make pretty cute dolls. xoxo from sunny 🌞 Arizona

Good video 👍 thank you.

Thanks Al !

Now I know what I have in my garage. I was wondering why a collection of nail guns. The framing gun is a monster.

Didn't know about these videos. Thanks, as I am wanting one of guns, and the Dewalt is what I am looking for. Saw you using in from Outdoor kitchen and onto the off grid cabin. Keep it up. Bill in WTx

Great video, thanks.

It looks like you just surpassed the 18,000+ subscriber mark, so congratulations and very well deserved! :)

Good information. Thanks for sharing!

From the looks of it, I would only buy the De Walt one. Because it's versatile enough and smaller and therefore lighter. :)

🏡🔨🔩🔧🚜🔌🐕🐓🐔🐔🐖🐖💕💕💕👍👍👍👍 enjoyed as always till the next Video God bless beautiful family bye Gina and Olivia. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍..

Very interesting video Al....Nice!

Dewalt makes good stuff but I'm a Senco guy for siding and framing guns.

Thank you!

First let me say I proud to see yall living the American dream Will a 3 gallon compressor be enough air volume for a framing nailer Thank you for your videos

You used the band saw when making the soil block, but you haven't talked about it yet. xoxo from Arizona

Great video. Thanks for posting.👍

Can you install vinyl siding with this gun?

I am building a DiY vertilap fence and considering a pneumatic nail gun to fasten the panels to the 2x4 top and bottom rails. I was set to trigger on the metabo framing gun NR90AES1 for less than $200 then I learnt from your video that there is such a thing as a siding nail gun. Hitachi has a siding nail gun too but it is way too expensive for a weekend warrior like myself. If I had to buy just one nail gun for this project, would you say a framing gun is the one? Great video - informative and entertaining.

Use three drops of oil BEFORE you use the tool. When the air compressor compresses air, moisture builds up in the air tank. This moisture harms the tools, the oil helps to reduce the damage.

Al, you definitely are a gifted man when it comes to using tools and building projects! If you lived nearby I would definitely hire you for building projects or just consultations! Love Lumnah Acres with coffee in the Morning. Have a Blessed Day

Curtain rod holders , great , neeeext

Framing nailers also come with the non marring tip that slips on.

is it heavier when the coil nailer is fully loaded?

If you push the safety nose back and spin that wheel by the trigger you’ll notice that it just sets the depth of the nail by adjusting the nose not the airflow. That’s on your compressor.

Great write up. I just bought a (completely different) coil gun with zero operating instructions, but this video solved all my coil gun mysteries. Thanks!

Good video...Do you have the part number for the case of the siding nail gun?

Great video! Tfs 🐔

where do you get the case?

Can this be used for vinyl siding?

Can you recommend a electric compressor that would have no problem running 2 Roofing guns or 2 framing guns if there is nothing Electric that would have the power to run them what about just one framing gun or one roofing gun and be able to do that easily thank you for your help

I know this is not a framing gun, but would it be good enough to build a small shed like a 10X10

Can I use a siding gun to nail the pickets on a 6 foot privacy fence?i just use shorter nails of course

Air up the nose has me laughing, nice video

Oh!! 17,999 subs!!!

Thank you 🌸

I KNEW there was a good story that went along with those wood dowels on the back of the bench!! Thanks....they are good looking rod holders! How about air compressors for the larger framing and siding guns vs., the brad nailers and staplers? Or did I miss that part? Seems the larger guns would need a larger compressor? And how about the angle differences on the framing gun? I know there are different angle degrees but I don't understand why. Great video brother....as usual!! Off to bed now....WAYYY past my bed time!!!! Tip of my hat to Gina and Miss Olivia!!

What size of cement fiber siding nail do you need to use with a framing nailer?

I seem to remember DeWalt sponsors SkillsUSA VICA good company.

Do u have the model number for the Dewalt plz. plz no Amazon links in the UK and cant get on US site ☹

I’m looking for HART 20-Volt Cordless nail gun guys?!!!!!!! With Charger + battery 18

Is the head of the siding nail smaller than the small framing nail heads?

Dewalt makes a cordless roofing nailer now

Didn't see your Amazon link mentioned. I've got cedar shakes to install and I need a coil siding nailer.

Question - why are these guns all at an angle?

brad nailer for a fence with pine wood,.. or ?

I have one of these that I use for fencing. It's a great product and works fantastically the only complaint I have is that mine refuses to feed and fire the last 5 nails off a roll. I don't know if this is just mine or whether they all do it, but it kinda infuriates me as it's wasting my money. Only a very small amount of money for sure, but it's a waste none the less.

Would the siding nail gun work on cedar shakes as siding? I am going to be replacing a couple of courses to redo some porch roofing, and it will be vastly easier (as you surely know) to use a nailer. Also, what sort of compressor do you use? I have a small one for my finish nailer, and I am not sure if it is good for much. (I am not at home and forget the rating.)

18k!!!!

Siding gun is more like a roofing gun then a framing gun

I didn't know the gun came with a carrying case..

Xlnt video!!

Dewalt will always have superior tools
