Picked up my Makita pin nailer this morning and had a play this afternoon.

Well done, it will be good to get some feedback after a bit of use.
I have a cheap air one and it jams a lot so would like to upgrade at some stage, but I do not use it a lot so at the back of the list.
I would go cordless if I can justify the cost.

Hitachi make good nailers and I can only comment on the DA nailer, which is too large for your purpose. The brand seems to be excellent, but at the higher end of the market. My carpenter son pointed me in the right direction there.
A lot depends on the level of use you may have for a pin nailer as to what brand you go for. My impression is that the cordless varieties will be expensive. I think elanjacobs made reference to the fact that a nail gun consumes very little air and a really small compressor will suffice.
The question of what you go for remind me of when Adam announced to the Almighty that he was bored and he wanted a playmate. The Almighty queried what he had in mind. Adam responded with a long list of requisites that would have combined the very best attributes of Bo Derek, Racquel Welch, Gal Gadot and Charlize Theron all rolled into one. The Almighty explained that was quite a lot and would cost an arm and a leg. "Ooooooh," Adam responded: "What could I get for a spare rib?"

You are right Paul -the cordless ones are expensive but it was the convenience of portability that convinced me. Also my small workshop and air hoses are not a match made in heaven, to continue the theme

Air requirements
Just thought I’d add this if someone was looking at an pneumatic air nailer and air compressor requirements.
The Makita Manual for the AF353 has a graph of air pressure and air volume vs shots per minute

A billion you say?
I had better go air then because my battery unit fires 6400 nails per charge, takes 45 minutes to recharge so I’d spend 13.41 years charging

One. Billion.
Well, perhaps I raised it a power or three....
Just today I had my very first jam. I thought it was toast as metal was coming out in curls. Oh, poo , says I, given the job was almost done... Karma!
But, saved! I pulled it to bits and it was just a bunch of gunk and a few nails that were bad.
Tonight I started on my fourth box of Grex 23 Gauge pins... That's 10,000 power box!
So 30k+.... Close to a billion.
I'm so impressed with this pinner. It also has a 7 year warranty . Not too shabby hey!
I'm ordering another 3 boxes of pins , spare service kit AND a complete spare pinner off Amazon tonight.... I now consider it an indispensable part of my armoury.

Late to this. In the US, the wood tool stores push grex, but at a high price. they're nice and work well.
I don't use a pinner often and when I do, it would require wheeling my compressor out of the garage and to wherever I'm working. If I'm installing only one or two pieces of trim, that's a big pain in the rear.
I replaced the grex pinner with a ryobi 23 gauges pinner here, and I read some fluff from trade guys talking about it being slow, but it really depends on how fast you're working. It'll shoot a pin every couple of seconds and flush, no marks on the wood. I'm well pleased and have no interest in going back to a pneumatic type.
