the article on nailers in this months issus had a side bar on the mikita ag 125 nailer
http://www.mytoolstore.com/makita/mak09-02.html
for occasional use of a nailer this looked interesting rather that a regular nailer (yes i understand, 1 nail at a time). the side bar implied it was “near” as fast (my memory). but it seems that the repetition would cause vibrations in doing the nailing.
any opions?

No legitamate opinion on that particular impact nailer because I haven't used it.
But its hard for me to see the advatage of that nailer over a palm nailer. I've used a senco and bostich palm nailer, they vibrate a little, not enough to bother me.
The makita costs almost 300, you can get a decent framing gun for that price.
A good palm nailer is anywhere from 100-120 dollars.
For the cost it would take a lot to convince me to buy one.
