  • Ah wow, it's looking great. I've heard very good things about the Milwaukee nail guns, and I am already in their battery ecosystem so that's what I'll be buying when the time comes. The only downsides seem to be weight, and I've heard from builders that if something goes wrong it's not as easy to service yourself as a paslode gun.

    Paslode is the OG and many people love them. Apparently they can struggle with enough power to properly seat a nail in thick wood. Also if doing things in very cold weather the gas can freeze and then it doesn't work until you can warm it.

    All of the above is gleaned through the experience of others. I don't have personal experience myself.

  • Your shed is looking good. Did you design all this structure yourself or is it pre fab?

  • You won't need a 1st fix nail gun for cladding, it would be overkill.
    A 2nd fix gun would do it easily - but that might not be a tool you'll use again? It'll certainly speed you along though; might be worth trying to hire one?
