    Dewalt every single time now. I have had Paslodes, Hitachis and Bostitch. The Dewalt is an amazing piece of kit. I have the 2 speed version and its worth every penny

    I agree with goldenboy, the dewalt is great and no gas to bother with.

    I do like the Dewalt 18v nail guns, it's the way to go nowadays.

    Paslodes etc are finished really. Give it 5 years and they will be like ni cad batteries. When you see the Dewalt in action esp in the cold its a no-brainer. XR second fix is rumoured to be out later this year. That will be the start of the end for Paslode/Hitachi/Bostitch second fix too.

    Just make sure you get the most upto date package as I know some places are selling the nailer with 4.0ah batteries and some are doing them with 5.0ah batteries. Last year they were doing a free 5.0ah battery offer and this year they were giving a free heated jacket (for any big girls blouses who need one!)

    Any one bought of tool stop see they have interest free credit for 6 /12 months might be less of a dent in wallet at about £50 & month instead of paying in one go

    Its got to be coming soon. My old Dewalt 18v second fix is hanging on for its life. Then again it has probably put maybe half a million nails in!
