What nail gun do you use?

[3bees]

Just got back from Stoneleigh with 200 frames to make up.

Any recommendations for a suitable nail/staple gun?

Ace & K TYI 1850... have a few of these, they get a lot of use, and seem to give years of trouble free service.

I use a sip 2-in-1 staple/nailer http://www.sipuk.co.uk/sip-07329-professional-air-nailer-50mm-stapler-2-in-1.html with a 3hp/50ltr SWP Zephyr compressor

never lets me down

Makita AF505. Great gun but needs an air supply.

I use a sip 2-in-1 staple/nailer

I also have a Tacwise electric nailer (see screwfix/toolstation websites) which may be more suitable for a few hundred frames.

Tacwise 181ELS from Toolstation.

Second Tacwise under warranty as the first cracked.

I use a 20swg air stapler, http://www.lawson-his.co.uk/draper-57555-as8-25-8-25mm-air-stapler-kit, for frames and an 18swg for wooden boxes.
