Good to know, i read quite a a lot of people dislike paslode because of the gas etc but i am starting to think they are not too bad and as i said earlier they all have good and pad points. One thing i like about the paslode is that parts a readily available and they are very easy to service.

So by the sounds of it the Paslode are not too bad, i suppose they all have their good and bad points.

Thanks for the great explanation its very much appreciated.

Would you mind educating me a little? Why could you not use the framing nailer to put floorboards down if you only needed a 45mm nail or as another example if you were making a gate and using feather boards which are very thin, are the pins available very different or is it just down to size...
