I can't agree with this presenter at all. I've owned this tool for almost thirty years, and I honestly can't say a bad thing about it. I occasionally use other builders nailers, and I'm always consistently disappointed with them in some way.

Why do you frame walls, and then sheath them. So much work and not so accurate. Build them on the floor, square them and sheath them then stand them up, so much easier. If you can't lift them, they make wall standers that work great.

I'm here because I bought a new B model and it will not shoot a nail, OK, it shot 1. Getting pissed. 2 3/8 ring shank 21 degree plastic collated. Full round head. I put a 3 1/4 framing nail in my arm with the A model. Man was it stuck, pulled it out and it went through a vein, blood was shooting everywhere.

The first Porter Cable was an "A " model. I had one and it was great. I bought a big box of 2 3/8 spiral sheathing nails. Those things are a death wish. You have no idea where they are going, 1 out of 10 would make it in the wood. The rest were going air born at full speed, who knows where. I thought it was the gun, then finally figured it out. it was the nails. DO NOT BUY them.

Good explanation of your experience and thoughts! You don't appear to have tried different nails though. I have a 1995 Bostitch N80SB and it won't work correctly with nails that are collated with that glue drizzle. I have to use genuine Bostitch nails that are tacked together with the wire.

you should Give Bisset nailers A go 8 years now no issues and I work in temps as high as 45c and as low as -40c and every nailer I have is Bisset now my coil nailers framing Metal connector finishing and they are light powerful durable and well for teh price amazing

I’m curious what the panel output looks like during a sunny winter day vs sunny summer day.

Wow u didnt even show it working once thats crazy ... U did that whole deck and didnt show the tool in action at all lol

This tool is great, except for 2 years later when the deck boards have dried and twisted and break all those sweet little trim screws. Honestly, would use again, but with 2x6 instead of 5/4 deck boards

Nice!

I have used a bostich framing gun and it worked great it was the exact same model. On a apartment job i had to nail 2x10 deck cantalevers together with a insane nail spec of 2 nails every 6 inches. I shot over 10,000 nails throught it that day and never jamed once. Maybe that one is a lemon

My Bostich 16 gun works great. Never a jam. Problem free.

Are you concerned about the base rocks puncturing holes in the tank when it is full?

Spacing standards depending in requirements could be as robust as 12” centers, 16, 19.3-(96” layouts), 24, for most vertical members…the same for rafter and trusses but add 32, 48, and even 96” with intermittent sub framing…

Using .168 nails in a nailer meant for .148 nails is the problem - use the right nails bro

those murican "walls" always make me cringe

Those things are great. I get them for work for $7 a pair at a warehouse.

This guy made 2 mistakes in this video. Can you name them?

Because MATH.

16 is a factor of 48. But I'm pretty sure 16" spacing, 2x4s and 2x12s all existed before plywood and it definitely existed before aluminum siding and drywall. So the reason plywood and drywall are 4 ft wide/ 48 inches, is because the joists are 16" on center and 48x96" is a reasonable size when you factor labor cost and the size of a cargo van or pickup truck. All the number sync up nicely but overall the building strenght vs time to build were the leading factors. Im also confident that 2x4 is a good size to fit in the average mans hand. 2x3 isn't very strong. 2x6 heavier and would slow down construction. Wooden structures existed for thousands of years before SAE was invented. The general proportions of spacing and thickness of wood hasn't changed much in thousands of years. So yeah, doing it the same way every time means a carpenter doesn't need a degree in structural engineering. They just need to know building codes and they dont need to provide blueprints to the siding or the drywall crew. Standardization is a way to save time.

48 is divisible by 16.

It's strength nothing to do with siding

That gun i agree is garbage. Switch to bostitch 3 in coil gun you won't have any of those issues. Not even one time.

Beautiful.

Batteries for beginners is a bad oxymoron.

NEVER BUILT A FOUNDATIONAL FLOOR AND ESPECIALLY RIM JOIST WITH OSB PRODUCTS!!!

The I-joist was created the same year as the Apollo 11 moon landing. It's 55 year old technology.

They have rebuild kits for all air framing nailers, it only costs 50 bucks for parts. I build picnic tables, benches, and dog houses. My best framing nailers are air nailers by Makita, Dewalt, and Ryobi 18v 21 degrees. I only use 21-degree framing nailers because they are easy to find nails of all types.

Why do I have a feeling you were trying to use 21 degree nails in this gun. You need to use bostisch 28 degree collated nails....

The nail follows the wood grain pattern.. It's not a nailer problem. It's a educational problem on tbe user.

Sure solar is worth it, but not with a low surge capacity, high frequency, transformerless inverter.

The best LFP batteries for any application are DIY self built batteries. For only a few hundred dollars more than a 100 Amp hour 48 Volt battery, you can easily build a 304 Amp hour 48 Volt battery. That's 5.12kW vs 15.56kW. And that includes a BMS with active balance and low temperature sensing. DC disconnects, LCD metering and more.

Has anyone ever load tested these EG4 batteries for capacity using a real lab grade, DC load tester?

Nice batteries but I would not have purchased the inverter that you chose. High frequency, output transformerless inverters do not offer a high enough surge capacity for my home's needs. With only a 2 x surge capacity, this relatively low surge inverter would never be able to start my well pump or power tools while running my other resistive household loads. For my offgrid home, I chose a heavy duty, high peak power capacity, low frequency, transformer based inverter charger instead of the lighter weight unit. In addition, because my inverter uses an iron core, copper wound output transformer, it provide galvanic isolation which makes for safer power production.

Wow. I’ve had my Bostitch framer for over 15 years and it’s always be great.

I wouldn't recommend buying these batteries. When they go into protection mode it is a nightmare to get them to comeback online. I have 6 of them. We've have multiple batteries go into protection mode. We still have one that will not come back online. We've bought the 399$ charger that's a scam. Eg4 has been tough to get any help on troubleshooting the battery. The battery has no reset button like the LL batteries. Complete nightmare. #300lbwallbrick!

Bostitch makes good roofing nailers, at least the old models were great. I got a coil framing nailer and out of the box, even with the adjustment knob set all the way down, it will not sink the nails consistently. My Metabo A5 coil nailer will damn near send nails through the wood with the exact same air pressure, hose and fitting set-up.

It would be impossible to skew nail with them tips on both guns!

Ground mount those panel. Stay off the roof. 😊 Easier to troubleshoot, upgrade, clean (for those snow/ice people), no holes in the metal roof. Also panels on roof need an additional rapid shutdown in most states, not sure if it applies in your area. That’s an additional cost for each panel as they each need a module. Plus some additional items to connect to the inverter to support the rapid shutdown.

I thought you have 4 of those EG4 batteries? What happened to the forth one? If you are using the forth one, you will need a busbar. I would suggest Victron power in or Victron distribution.

Awesome video 👍

see what money can buy ya

I saw a man shoot him self in the foot with a Porter-Cable not really...it was a Bostitch. Jk jk idk what gun he had but let's just say it was the Bostitch. Guy was few nails short of a rack, if you know what I am saying.

Stagnant air starts to stink, that is something people forget and was a lesson taught long ago. Natural gas furnace is by far the best thing ever invented in this area of expertise. It is over 95% efficient and is the cheapest of them all while being the least costly to replace if needed to be. Relying on electricity in any amount is failure at the highest level, cause when it is off you literally are just sitting there waiting to die until it either turns back on or you are dead. Natural gas will flow for thousands more years without any worry, the boogy man under the bed isnt real.

First time view of your channel, excellent work and description of product. Keep up the content no flash just business🤟

A few points: That Inverter can only do 50 Amps. It has a 200 Amp pass-through if you are connected to the grid. The peak power is not 18,000W, that is the solar input (PV). Peak Power (W) With PV: 14.7kW (10 min), 15.5kW (5 min) Without PV: 13.5kW (10 min).

Your wrong bud,the f28ww is the best. And it holds 100 rounds.You are a fraud
