The main thing I want first is a 2nd fix nailer
Go DeWalt. Since I bought mine I've never really used my paslode.
Pros.
- MUCH quieter than a gas powered one
- No maintenance
- Bump fire mode is good.
- No buying gas fuel cells so nails are cheaper (you can also pick up packs where the fuel cells have expired which is even cheaper)
- No keeping spare gas cannisters in your boxers in cold weather (possibly won't apply to you).
- Cheaper than equivalent paslode.
Cons
- Out of warranty they are pretty much unrepairable. I've had mine for 5 years and it's been abused no end, has fired millions of nails and shows no sign of stopping, so I doubt this is really an issue for a DIYer.
- Slightly heavier than a paslode or air powered unit.
Seriously if you are already looking at investing in DeWalt its a no brainer.

Good to know. Still happy enough with my Titan corded track saw. Similarly doesn't clamp, but I've not had a problem with it sliding. Only time I wished it was cordless was ripping full sheets of ply and having to shuffle about "near" (within 10') of a socket. I suppose the dust extraction is actually a bit shit. Seems to fire the dust out the front even with a Henry fitted to the port. But it'll do for now.
The main thing I want first is a 2nd fix nailer. Then I would like to swap out my Bosch circ saw and jigsaw as they're shit. I could get a cordless multitool and get rid of the no name corded one I have. Then if I have flexvolt I can maybe get rid of the corded angle grinder.
I'd keep my Bosch drill as my dad bought me it, but I'm not attached to anything else.
