   Another vote for Hitachi.  I've got two and they've always worked really well.  I also hear good things about the Max guns, but nobody will service them around here.

   any body know the difference between a siding and a roofing nailer.will the roof nailer only shoot roofing nails or can it shoot stainless siding nails too?

   Roofing nailer shoots large head wire collated roofing nails only.  Coil siding nailer shoots siding nails only.  Can't do both with either.  Can't fire narrow crown staples in my framing nailer either.  There really is no 'all purpose' nailer.View Image

   Not true.  It's a question of air pressure and depth setting.
