Looking at getting a Max 90mm 34 degree nailer, gas powered with
battery. Not had one before so any points to beware of when buying?

I think these days I would look at some of the cordless ones that don't
require gas - keeps the consumables price down and does not tie you to a
particular supplier of nails etc.

I've got it now. Much cheaper than the nice but heavy no-gas ones. With
the amount of use it'll get it's not really worth going gasless at this
time. I'm sure it will be one day.

Nails & gas it takes the same as the Paslode IM350, so lots of choice.
Buying the nails has been frustrating though, Screwfix out of stock on
the ones I wanted. I need another supplier really, getting fed up of
Screwfix not having stuff. And this is a bit outside of regular diy
stuff.

Paslode themselves are usually reliable stockists - although they do
variable "trade" pricing which makes them expensive for non volume
customers.

Be aware the the gas DOES 'go off' - I was sceptical but after a period of
'not firing' problems with my IM350 I went through my gas cans and chucked
the old ones and it's been fines ever since.
