Does anyone out ther have any information about either PRIME SOURCE or MAXX air nailers, (for framing). How well do they work, and about how much should they cost?
Thanks in advance, tutleboy.

Prescriptive codes don't address the connection at less common angles, so base the connection off more typical ones using bolts, structural screws, blocking, and steel tension ties.

FHB just had an article in a recent issue comparing various nailers. I know they liked the MAXX. Check the site, it`s just a few issues back.

I own two MAX air nailers. NF550 15g angled finish nailer and the SN90A Full head angled stick nailer. Both are fantastic guns and perform flawlessly. Try checking out: http://www.tools-plus.com http://wis.max-ltd.co.jp/int/na/index.html http://www.nailersandstaplers.com/descriptions.html
These sites should help.
Turtle,
What about the new bostitch, or Senco's framepro line. You should check out the framepros, they are light and super comfortable to use, they are small which means they get in and out of tight spaces easy. They have a mean contact tip for toe nailing, and have good power, they also jam infrequently. Frame pros will nail into green concrete with senco's special hardened nail. I don't know of a more quality company than senco.

Thanks for the info. I ended up getting a prime air as I don't do that much framing, but in the future I'll keep your info in mind as I replace the basic tools with those of higher quality. Thanks again, Handy/turtle boy
stay away from primesource. I bought a roof gun and it blew up the very same day I bought it. When I took it back to Crammers the guy behind the counter just smiled and said, "put it over there with the rest of them". Sure enough theres a stack of them, roofers, framers and finish nailers. Stick with stanley bostich mine has upteen houses/additions on it and its still banging.
You can buy hundreds of fine nailers out there that will work ok.
if you are contractor that is using a framing nailer on a daily basis you can not go wrong with the senco line, best gun for the long run.
