it is, but the gas is a lot more convenient for small, occasional use.I never liked those nailers anyway. Air has always been faster and more reliable for me.

You need to try a Dewalt or Milwaukee cordless, I won’t go back to air for framing or finishing, still use air for a siding and roofing though.I never liked those nailers anyway. Air has always been faster and more reliable for me.
Amen. I switched to a Dewalt cordless framing and finish nailer. Haven’t used the air guns since, even for siding. Not being attached to a hose is incredible. The only application I’m not sold on is roofing. I see they make cordless roofing nailers, just not sure it can come close to keeping up with an air gun.You need to try a Dewalt or Milwaukee cordless, I won’t go back to air for framing or finishing, still use air for a siding and roofing though.
I would try the cordless roofer if they made it a siding/roofing coil, It can’t shoot the longer nails.Amen. I switched to a Dewalt cordless framing and finish nailer.

The only framing and roofing guns that would keep up and last for us were Hitachi. There may be some other options out there now but nothing was even close in my opinion ten years ago. The gas nailers were a joke back then (maybe some are better now). Cordless nailers were just starting to show up from what I remember but couldn't come close to keeping up with us.You need to try a Dewalt or Milwaukee cordless, I won’t go back to air for framing or finishing, still use air for a siding and roofing though.
A lot has changed in the last few years and 10 years ago feels like 50 . I don’t do it professionally but do everything myself so it’s nice having the tools, it can almost be as bad as hunting gear.The only framing and roofing guns that would keep up and last for us were Hitachi.

Luckily I don't build professionally anymore. Have an easy office job at Boeing now.

It’s limited in nail length, think the longest you can use is 1 3/4 which isn’t long enough for siding applications.Doesn't dewalt make that?
I’ve only use the finishing nailers but I think the Gen 2 models are way better then the dewalt’s in that area, the Gen 1 Milwaukee’s had a ton of issues, can’t comment on the framer but I do like that the Milwaukee do not have a rampup, they just shoot. So far I like my dewalt framer and wouldn’t replace it with a Milwaukee yet, I also believe the Milwaukee framer is heavier and a tad bulkier.How are the Milwaukee battery nailers? I like the Dewalt cordless, but they have to get rebuilt after a couple months of dedicated use. They also can’t handle LsL.
