    Default Which nail & braid gun should I use?

    Hey all, to keep it short and simple, which pneumatic nail gun is best for making pallet furniture? Do I need a staple gun as well? Braid gun? I need something heavy duty as I live in the Carribean and wont find parts easily. Which nails do I use? I am totally new to this and dont know much about nailers. All the help i can get will be welcomed. I already used the search button and did not find what I needed.

    Buy a coil nailer, they can use a wider variety of nails than anything else.

    Thanks for the reply. How are the Hitachi nailers compared to Bostitch?

    Hitachi nailers are a bit dearer than Bostitch, I've never used a Hitachi coil nailer but a friend has a Hitachi framer which is fine.
    I have had a Bostitch coil nailer for years and it hasn't missed a beat, both guns take the same nails.
    I think most of the name brand guns are OK, Paslode, Max, Bostitch, Hitachi, Senco etc., stay away from the no name eBay stuff though, a lot of it is junk, Duo Fast are good but shoot 0 degree nails which aren't always as readily available as the 15 degree that most of the others use.
    If you live in the Caribbean you should check out Tool King in the US, they sell factory reconditioned Bostitch guns at very good prices.
