    Hi all, I'm looking for a 2nd fix nail gun and finally get rid of my compressor and airgun. I really want to get a gasless one I don't mind if it's heavy just need recommendations to which 2nd fix nailguns you all use?
    Will mostly be for skirtings, MDF framings etc.

    I was thinking about this Ryobi:

    What do you all think?

    bought a hardly used older passlode for £170. Genuine seller. Aftermarket nails and gas pretty cheap.

    Gas vs batteries. Depends on the outlay and how often you use it. A bit like a solar system, as to whether it pays for itself in the long run.

    I will be using it everyday for atleast 2 hours, To be honest, anything is going to be better than humping around my bloody compressor!
