Need recommendations for pneumatic construction stapler

Long ago in a land far away I worked where we used a bunch of staples. We used Duofast staples and Duofast supplied the stapler as long as we used theil staples. You might contact them and see what sort of deal they will do.

nailer - but it's heavy . I don't recall the brand of staplers we used in the cabinet shops , but they all seemed pretty much the same . As Dan said , sometimes suppliers will give you guns , but I doubt you'll be using the kind of volume they want for that .

Well none will break the bank if the fail but if you need something that will last and be rebuildable I would go with the brands that have been making pneumatic guns for years on end.

A little extra money might yield an easier to use gun and a more comfortable to use gun.

I would suggest, in no certain order, Bostitch, Hitachi, Senco.

Find a old Senco M11. I've had one for 40 yrs

Not only are the HF framing nailers heavy but they're huge (at least mine is). It's really hard to maneuver it around and impossible to get into many places. I used it once, then went out and bought a Hitachi.

My PC brad, finish, and narrow crown staplers work fine, though.

it , the rest is gravy - That nail gun has pretty much built this house we're living in . Framing , sheathing , roof decking , the floor , all nailed with that gun . I found very few situations that I couldn't use it .

A framing nailer to build a fence?

fence , we used steel posts and covered both sides with rough cut cedar . T'was a mighty fine looking fence when I finished it .

I'm late top the party, but I recently bought DeWalt pneumatic stapler (DWFP1838?) and couldn't be more pleased with it. It's pretty light but powerful.

I had a job where I was making a bunch of plywood cases and shot

Yes! You do have to shoot nails to attach 2x4 to 4x4 posts.

What would you be thinking?

This gun also shoots smaller nails - I used 8d to do the wall sheathing , floor , and roof decking .

Sounds like huge overkill. I have a siding/fencing nailer for such and use stainless ringshank nails. Are ringshanks available for framing nailers?

Screws/lags for rails to posts. Ringshank siding/fencing nails for slats to rails.

Well steel posts do not rot like cedar and treated do in clay soil along the gulf coast. And 2x4 and 6" pickets is standard fare here also.

Yes, I shoot ring shank galvanized nails out of my framing nailer.

I at one time used deck screws to attach rails to the posts but that was when I was using a hammer for everything. A friend and I probably removed and build 20 fences way back when and his framing nailer cut the work time by 1/2 to 2/3's. This was 3 rail fences Plus a rot board at the bottom. I will never build another fence with out a rot board. It is huge time saver and keeps every thing level, providing the rot board is level. One of us could put 6 nails into a picket almost as fast as the other one of us could position the next picket and insure it was plum. Neither of us were ever really waiting on the other to complete our task.

I generally try not to shoot nails into steel posts. ;-)

I've never seen them.

What's a "rot board"? Just a spacer to keep the picket off the ground?

haven't seen them doesn't mean squat . As far as shooting nails into steel , it's actually pretty common . Not with a pneumatic unit of course , for that I use a powder actuated tool .

Collated nails, sure, I use them in my siding/fencing nailer. But for a framing nailer?
