Okay.. not tractor related, but trusting my tractor friends for a recommendation. I need to buy a nail gun. It will have be somewhat general purpose. The two uses that I imediately forsee are:
1) 400 feet of Fence repair. re-nailing 1x6 cedar fence boards to fence rails using about 1 1/2" to 1 3/4" stainless steel ring shank nails.
2) Normal project construction. framing, plywood to frame, etc.
Also, I see 18 degree, 21 degree, 34 degree, etc. guns.. I see the difference, but how do you choose what angle you need/get. I am not intending to buy more than one nailer... (I already have a stapler and brad nailer).

Jim, I got a Senco 701 nailer last year as a pre-reward for building a couple more horse stalls for the wifes additional barnyard collection. It's a 21 degree gun I think. One thing I've noticed building 16" O.C. stud walls (different project now) is the shorter 21 degree mag. just does fit in between the studs for toenailing etc in corners, tight places. I don't know how you would be able to do a job like that with those longer, lower angle mags. One thing to consider, and a deciding factor for me, is go look at nail selection and PRICES for the different nailer brands at your favorite store. That alone may shift you towards one brand or another. The nail size & style selection on the Senco is a good as it gets, and the generic brand nails for Senco are comparitively cheap & easy to find. AND, if this helps, Senco is an OHIO company, most the guns are built in Cincinatti. I took a tour of their factory a few years back.... they got it going on!

the bostitch are good nailer I have 2 or 3 of them. Good value for the $.

BTW. If your stringers are also cedar I do not recommend using ringshanks. The cedar is too open grain for the ringshanks to hold for a long time. They will work themselves loose. They are better than regular shank but not as good a screws. Buy a good Dewalt or Milwaukee screw gun instead and go at it.
