I need to buy a framing nailer. I see the cordless Paslode models
can fire a lot of nails between having to replace energy cells and
recharging the battery, so am tempted to go for one of those. It
will only be used on my house, for example framing out my basement
and other miscellaneous jobs that come along, so not heavy duty.

A question for the group - what are the best types of nails to go for
- I see guns shoot a variety (paper collated or weld for example)? Any
other advice on framing nailers gratefully received.

If the nailer is shooting round head nails (evidently required for framing
in some jurisdiction and obviously required for roofing), it's got to use
the roll-fed nails, paper-linked nails.

There's a big difference between a battery-operated nailer and a
batter-operated drill: It takes a LOT of power to drive a nail.
