I recently bought a used Bostich nailer off of ebay for $80. Well used, but
will probably last me my forever. It uses 21 degree clips of full head
nails, and can shoot a bigger diameter nail than the HF unit. This was the
main reason I vetoed the HF gun - local code calls for .148"D nails for
applying sheathing on a shear wall for earthquake safety and the HF gun will
go to .113". Necessary? Yes, if you want to pass an inspection.
Worth a consideration.
