I have one of each - Paslode F350S for 34 degree nails (paper
collation, clipped head) and Hitachi NR83A (21 degree, round head).
Paslode also makes Roundrive nails that are offset full round head
nails at 34 degree paper collation. The Paslode nails are a bit more
expensive but they are a quality fastener.

Doing it again, I would go with the
Hitachi NR90AD Clipped Head 2-Inch to 3-1/2-Inch Framing Nailer
which is very light. They have been out long enough now that refurbed
units should be available.

I'm looking to purchase a Framing Nailer for a few jobs around the
house like: building a shed, a fence, dog house and would like some
clarification. I have seen 34, 28 and 21 degree nailers an was
wondering if there are any great advantage of getting one over the
others or is it just a matter of personal preference? I dont think
I'll be nailing in any tight spaces. Is there any cost of supplies
benefit in getting one degree over another?
