MarkFitch Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Need to purchase my first finish nailer. I am thinking about either the dewalt xrp 18 volt or the paslode Gas angled finish nailer both 18 gauge guns.. and angled.. Or anyone else have any suggestions. It will only be used a few times here and there not a whole lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwain Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Bosch have a much newer 18V finish nailer than the Dewalt, which is another option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Yea it sucks Dewalt does not have a finish nailer on the 20v max line yet. I like the Paslode cordless nailer but the issue with expired fuel is a huge pain in the ass also the fuel isn't cheap either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PT Custom Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 I have used my Paslode angled finish nailer for over 10 years. Use it 2-3 times a week and it always performs flawlessly for me. Mine has Nicad battery but it shoots so many nails on a charge it has never been a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 I have the dewalt 18g xrp nailer. I like it but I wouldn't recommend it today. A few years ago yes but I'm sure dewalt will release some 20v ones soon. No point in buying a soon to be phased out line with a nicad battery. How about a ryobi airstrike or ridgid cordless nailer? I would stay away from gas fuel powered, I think those will become obsolete in a few years, plus why pay for fuel when you can just recharge a battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 I have used the airstrike and its pretty nice my friend got it its a really good deal if you can snag a ryobi drill kit on the cheap Home Depot sometimes has the Drill kits cheap they have a single battery kit on sale for 39 bucks you can't buy a a battery let alone a charger that cheap.http://www.homedepot.com/p/Ryobi-18-Volt-Lithium-Drill-Kit-P828/204321535 I would be nice if the did offer the airstike nailer as a kit or as a bare tool, but I think buying a cheap starter kit is till the most cost efficient option for most people. If you don't want the drill sell it on craigslist for 20-30 bucks its worth that all day long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
