there are very few MUST tools. Yeah bang away with a paslode, but many inspectors wont pass a cut roof done with paslodes round here, they basically fire pins. I tack with a passy and then use real nails.
 




They would not pass because Paslode use to only shoot the 1/2 head nails, which are against code in many if not most places. Now they have a new version that shoots full round head nails and there is no reason for those not to pass inspection.

Still, I learned framing with 16d nails and and a hammer. Nothing holds like a spike, not even with the best compressor guns and nails.


what about 1 of these http://bostitch.co.uk/products/tools/stick-nailers/5381602/

just have to climb back on the roof everytime it fires you off Tongue Out



I love how it has the side handle so you need two hands to hold it! Big nails! Eek!

I would buy one just be cool to have a power nailer but I cant be bothered to carry my compressor it takes two to lift my compressor.  Iv been looking at buying the Hilti DX 450  I know its a different class gun and shoots smaller and different nails but it just reminded me of this gun cus it being a powerfull nail gun.

This might be the compressor you need to get any work done:
