Default Nail Guns

I bought a Tac Nailer from Machine Mart for finishing a few weeks back
but found it wasn't sending the nails right home. I took it back to the
shop and they promised to exchange it but they don't have Paslode
nailers. It's either their Tacwise guns of DeWalts. Both are battery
only operated.

Does anyone here know if the DeWalts are any more use. I have some fine
finishing to do with the gun. Air powered nailers are no use to me.

Failing the DeWalts; can anyone recommend a fast supplier of Paslodes?

I will have to trawl Stoke on Trent tomorrow. The trouble is that the
various precincts are spread over 6 and more towns. Knowing what
dealers are where, is a big part of it.

I have just been to Machine Mart's website. The DeWalt seems to be the
job. Pity they are so damned expensive.

These guys were recommended to me on here some time ago.
I found them very helpful and they were very competitive.

I've been through 4 different electric nailers - all crap. Settled on the
SIP 18v one from Toolstation. To be fair it will only put brads in flush if
you put enough pressure behind it. Better than most though.
