How does someone tell the difference from a 16GA straight Gen 1 vs a Gen 2? Also for the 30 framing nail. Could it be the back where some say made in china and some say made in Vietnam?
The 16ga Gen2 nailer has a more narrow pointed tip, where the nail is shot from and the Gen1 is more round and not so easy to see for precise nailing. The recoil is much less on the 2 and more enjoyable to use. I'm pretty sure the framing nailer hasn't been updated to another version, other than them offering it in a 21° and 30° version.
Bought the 16ga angled. A bit heavy but I'm satisfied. It will be a allround DIY for finishing work and inner paneling (About to build a Sauna and renovating at home) I know the 18ga makes better holes in finishing work, but I'll rather have a tool that has broader use.
@@evictioncarpentry2628 i own a few rental appartments which makes work from time to time and im looking for a battery nailgun that would be as versatile as possible, seeing the prices i'd like to get just one for now, any recommendation on which would suit that best?
Lol... I've been using my M18 18ga and 15ga daily for over a year and half and no problems. 5 year warranty these nailers will probably be worn out by 5 years. You don't trust the company? That's hilarious
@@BrandonContracting I might try the 15 for my first, ive had dewalt, milwaukee and ridgid in the past and I always had problems. Makita and metabo have be wonderful the past 6 years.
Why like the bloke said …16g because nail availability. Best nails are the Paslode ones. These guns are limited in technology and are butt ugly and heavy. What is it with you Americans with bump fire and straight blue jeans. Time to move on…plenty of other options out there in whole big world. Like I’ve said on other sites biggest mistakes this tool companies have made with this old a Senco technology is they should’ve developed these with the 12v battery.
