What's that guy cost?

I am not really sure , i have a couple of them ,and that one is several years old.it came off the snap on truck.
I like the blue air hose also ,got it my local lumber store,real light weight,good for construction for nail gums.

I have one like that at work ,but the metal tube is longer .nice for keeping debris out of the eyes ,or blowing the workbench or floor off .think this says blue point on it .

Dibbs on the long extension bar.

That is 1/2 drive 3 foot long ,i use that for removing bellhousing bolts on transmisions
This is my teardown cart at work ,it has 2 shelves below that one ,keep air guns ,hammers ,cresents etc down low ,i can tear a whole car apart with what this little cart has in it ,

The long tubes are good for radiators n air filters helps keep the heavy dust fines off you

Think I'm going to dig this new compressor. Real light and real quiet! 44 lbs and 60 dB. 4.6 gallon aluminum tanks should be enough for what I'll be using it for, 2 quick release fittings, 2.35 cfm at 90 psi.

That was fast

Figured I'd get the ball rolling on some projects. Need to replace my Dad's deck, excuse to buy some toys, er, tools. Also have some woodworking projects I'd like to do, so going to grab a nailgun or two. *f-word it. It's only Visa's money!

Goin for a good gun get a bostich if not harbor freight

I'm looking at Bostitch and Hitachi. Leaning toward a 15 ga angled finish nailer. I've looked at the 16's too, bit really like the way those angled guns can get into right spots.

 

[jakethesnake]

You really can't go wrong with either of those two. Pick em both up and get a good feel for em I like the Bostich myself but I likeHusqvarna and some like stihl

 

[wildroamer]

Cool, thanks. Will do.

I bought the bostitch 15ga finish nailer last year...great little gun! even has a built in blow gun...

 

[wildroamer]

Nice, good to hear that you went with a 15 Can't! Going to check both out and make a decision soon. About the same price.

The two brands use different nails ,the bostich have bigger and different angle nails than hitachi,check your store you get nails from make sure they carry ones for one you buy,i bought a bostich and had a hard time with getting nails,so got hitachi ,they share same nails of most nailers.watch ebay for nailers,i got a few real cheap new ,or low usage ,a lot of homeowners buy a tool for 1 project and ebay it after

Thanks for the head's up @junkman! I didn't know that about the difference in nails. I figured as long as it was an angled 15 ga it would work. Shows what I know...

certain bostich guns use their own angle on the nails ,cant remember but ha or da or something may be on the boxes for nail types ,my siding coil nailer bostich uses common coil nails

 

[wildroamer]

OK, whatever I get I'll be sure to choose appropriate nails.

On another note, is a water separator/filter something I should worry about? Or is that more for the hardcore 10-hr a day types? I know if I was going to be painting that would be one thing, but I am only using nail guns and the like at this point.
