Any thoughts on this nail gun? I’m thinking about replacing my Porter Cable 18g nailer with this one. I can only fit 1 1/4 in nails in my PC and I would like the option to shoot longer 18g nails. My PC gun is close to 14 years old so it doesn’t owe me a dime. http://www.festoolproducts.com/cadex-18-gauge-2-nailer-in-systainer.html?utm_source=google_shopping&gclid=CKzVwO2sm9ICFYdafgodChkBNQ
I’ve shot dozens of Brad nailers and I litteraly feel there is no difference in a $20 vs $120 gun in how they shoot(quantity of tool is another story), I can’t speak about that Festool nailer but it better shoot a bull’s-eye across the room for a $200 Brad gun!
We had JITool 23 gauge guns at work. Then they bought a bunch of Grex 23G guns and the difference was so noticeable I bought a Grex for my own personal use. Besides the Cadex gun comes with a Systainer… 🙂
