Post Body

As stated above I am a handyman and in need of a cordless nailer as compressed tools dont suit this type of work (shame since I have heaps of those). I'm in need of a cordless nailer that will last a couple years ideally and not destroy my wallet. I run makita but it is a $300 bare tool.

I have been eyeing the ryobi 1 and Porter cable cordless nailers but would like some first hand knowledge and experiences with these "DIY grade" tools before I make my decision.

I was recommended by a coworker to get a cheap 18ga and a quality 16ga nailer. Considering getting the makita 16ga as my larger purchase.
