Hi guys Thinking off buying 1st fix nail just wondering if any one has used the hitachi one or bostich ,not sure i can justify the price for paslode any help be grateful cheers
Hitachi NR90GC2 has had some good reviews, hired one last year, very nice piece of kit, just as good as my deceased Plastode. You can find for around £280, with a bit of hunting maybe less, using Quidco or similar might save a few more quid.

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
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.
I have this for sale... http://www.alltools.co.uk/paslode-c...ign=Shopping&gclid=CO6515XUv8UCFcLItAodZDAAWA But I agree with the other lads the dewalt is the way forward
Some good Dewalt offers around if you hunt, & going though quidco will save a few more quid. http://www.angliatoolcentre.co.uk/d...nOVToJ2AiKpN0y65FEi9jeMeh937nyvsYZhoC8xjw_wcB And you can see Dewalt has thought about their nailgun design, as the DCN690M2 fits easily between 400mm centre studs / Joists.
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!
