Homestead Tool Review ~ Framing Nailer Vs Siding Nail Gun

[@CanadianPenguin_]

you can get plastic tip cover for framing nailer often called "no mar pads" for doing siding

[@simidhel]

You may not regard yourself as a professional but one thing I love about your tool series is the obvious depth of your product knowledge, highlighted by the benefit of your hands-on experience when you're explaining each tool. :) _(versus the reviews from some folk, even well known ones, where it sometimes feels like they only just learned it...)_

[@LumnahAcres]

I don't like giving a review until have had some serious hands-on time. Otherwise, it's not a review!

[@frameriteairdrie578]

To me, the biggest reason I got a siding/fencing gun instead of just putting shorter nails in my framing gun, is because the siding nails are a much thinner gauge which means they are less likely to split apart Hardi-Board and for fence boards it's less likely to spit the end grain open. Also, the framing guns are much more powerful. They hit with a much harder punch that could cause damage, even if the depth setting is adjusted.

[@johnnybarbar7435]

I chose the N75C-1 for framing, sheathing, siding and fencing. Dewalt and Bostitch have identical guns in the N66, N75 and most other versions due to being under the same corporation but the N75 can use 1-1/2" to 3" nails that are slightly heavier gauge. They both weigh the same and have removable rubber tips for siding and interior planking. The N75 excels at framing and sheathing over foam board, which requires longer nails. My old 3-1/2" strip nail framing gun weighs 12 lbs so this 5 lb'er is a pleasure to use and holds 3 times the number of nails.

[@kathybluxome5514]

Thank you SO much, Al, for explaining how to choose an air tool, what each are for and how to maintain them! Awesome videos!!!

[@richardbohlingsr3490]

Good information. 1- framing nailer, 2 - roofing nailer, 3- siding nailer, for a frame carpenter. Lots of houses use different types of siding and we used vinyl most so I put the roofing nailer first. If your a trim carpenter then the fininh nailer first and the pinner next. I did a lot of cabinet work and the narrow crown stapler works great and for soffit and fascia it works great with stainless steel staples. In reality if your going to build houses, you need them all.

[@darangemaster1]

you can buy a sky hook and add it to the framing nailer they also have them for the worm drive saws as well. my hitachi framing nailer has a siding foot i added on so you don't mar siding and it controls depth as well.

[@1wolfpup]

This is a really good comparison and tutorial. Blessings for your family. Stay warm.

[@50shadesofgreen]

Good day to you All !! Another fantastic tool time talk on the difference between framing nail gun and siding nail gun !! 👍😁🔨🔫

[@lenmorris9164]

I find now with the new building codes and hurricane construction I am lucky to get 2 houses out of a framing gun. With the older all metal ones I could triple that. s I even had a few older ones rebuilt and they lasted longer than a new ones.

[@deborhasmith7746]

Don't throw away the curtain rod holders. Use them for a surprise give away. I know I would like them, and I bet others would too. I love all of your videos. A lot of great info. Stay warm and safe this winter. Thanks for sharing.

[@simidhel]

I would be tempted to turn them into little critters by adding a couple of googly eyes at the top and a red felt tongue into the gaping mouth or some-such :P

[@LumnahAcres]

I never thought about that! Good to know. We might just have to do that! :)

[@107retired]

Just in case Deborah failed to mention...she meant to say give away to ME!!! All set now Deborah....😉😁

[@FarmFreshIB]

Really learned a lot. I have never had a nail gun. If I have that kind of project I always call my BIL who did construction professionally for years. After learning more I think I should be buying myself a brad nailer at the least.

[@fooddude9921]

Al - BIG thanks for making this video. I'm just getting ready to purchase some of these and this vid answered all of my questions - thanks again!

[@LumnahAcres]

Glad I could help!

[@LumnahAcres]

What are you building?

[@fooddude9921]

First up is a mobile chicken coop, later on this year a possible remodel of our walk-in closet

[@gregkahle9046]

Cool curtain rod holders! Nice job explaining the tools for the everyday guy or gal, keep up the good work Al!

[@suesheane3671]

Great video! The information you've provided is awesome. Learned so much! THANKS

[@lengthmuldoon]

Very useful for a newbie like me considering buying a used framer and brad gun

[@BraxxJuventa]

From the looks of it, I would only buy the De Walt one. Because it's versatile enough and smaller and therefore lighter. :)

[@offgridsweden]

Great video on nail guns. A really nice tool to have. Greetings from Andreas on Off Grid Sweden

[@seanoreilly6551]

Now I know what I have in my garage. I was wondering why a collection of nail guns. The framing gun is a monster.

[@SirWilhelm46]

Didn't know about these videos. Thanks, as I am wanting one of guns, and the Dewalt is what I am looking for. Saw you using in from Outdoor kitchen and onto the off grid cabin. Keep it up. Bill in WTx

[@mondospark]

First let me say I proud to see yall living the American dream Will a 3 gallon compressor be enough air volume for a framing nailer Thank you for your videos

[@Alex-qe2lf]

I am building a DiY vertilap fence and considering a pneumatic nail gun to fasten the panels to the 2x4 top and bottom rails. I was set to trigger on the metabo framing gun NR90AES1 for less than $200 then I learnt from your video that there is such a thing as a siding nail gun. Hitachi has a siding nail gun too but it is way too expensive for a weekend warrior like myself. If I had to buy just one nail gun for this project, would you say a framing gun is the one? Great video - informative and entertaining.

[@charlesvaughn5055]

great explanations on the tools. thanks have a great day

[@simidhel]

It looks like you just surpassed the 18,000+ subscriber mark, so congratulations and very well deserved! :)

[@LumnahAcres]

We just did Thanks!

[@TheRedhawke]

Dewalt makes good stuff but I'm a Senco guy for siding and framing guns.

[@keithrayeski3147]

I KNEW there was a good story that went along with those wood dowels on the back of the bench!! Thanks....they are good looking rod holders! How about air compressors for the larger framing and siding guns vs., the brad nailers and staplers? Or did I miss that part? Seems the larger guns would need a larger compressor? And how about the angle differences on the framing gun? I know there are different angle degrees but I don't understand why. Great video brother....as usual!! Off to bed now....WAYYY past my bed time!!!! Tip of my hat to Gina and Miss Olivia!!

[@LumnahAcres]

Last weeks video we talked about the air compressor.

[@107retired]

So, the pancake compressor you have, carries enough pressure and recovers fast enough for the larger tools?

[@BrianBriCurInTheOC]

Use three drops of oil BEFORE you use the tool. When the air compressor compresses air, moisture builds up in the air tank. This moisture harms the tools, the oil helps to reduce the damage.

[@woodchipful]

Thanks Al !

[@robotsmoke204]

If you push the safety nose back and spin that wheel by the trigger you’ll notice that it just sets the depth of the nail by adjusting the nose not the airflow. That’s on your compressor.

[@RickMitchellProvenanceAndRoots]

18K! Yahoo! Keep it going! I really do appreciate your tool videos. Thanks!

[@suzisaintjames]

You used the band saw when making the soil block, but you haven't talked about it yet. xoxo from Arizona

[@dennisst.germaine3497]

Al, you definitely are a gifted man when it comes to using tools and building projects! If you lived nearby I would definitely hire you for building projects or just consultations! Love Lumnah Acres with coffee in the Morning. Have a Blessed Day

[@LumnahAcres]

Thanks!

[@Underthreesuns]

Framing nailers also come with the non marring tip that slips on.

[@suzisaintjames]

Those curtain rod brackets are pretty cool. If you let Olivia paint faces on them, they'd make pretty cute dolls. xoxo from sunny 🌞 Arizona

[@DieselTjuv]

Great write up. I just bought a (completely different) coil gun with zero operating instructions, but this video solved all my coil gun mysteries. Thanks!

[@JP-kg6wn]

Good video 👍 thank you.

[@evarsonazevedo5321]

Can you install vinyl siding with this gun?

[@pianobar7801]

Great video. Thanks for posting.👍

[@jc1608]

Curtain rod holders , great , neeeext

[@Downeastwaves]

Thank you!

[@Randopic76]

I know this is not a framing gun, but would it be good enough to build a small shed like a 10X10

[@akrealestatebroker]

Good information. Thanks for sharing!

[@evephillips6701]

Very interesting video Al....Nice!

[@jrmexi28]

Good video...Do you have the part number for the case of the siding nail gun?

[@lningzhang6655]

is it heavier when the coil nailer is fully loaded?

[@eddiekytia]

Can you recommend a electric compressor that would have no problem running 2 Roofing guns or 2 framing guns if there is nothing Electric that would have the power to run them what about just one framing gun or one roofing gun and be able to do that easily thank you for your help

[@atheanicholls2199]

🏡🔨🔩🔧🚜🔌🐕🐓🐔🐔🐖🐖💕💕💕👍👍👍👍 enjoyed as always till the next Video God bless beautiful family bye Gina and Olivia. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍..

[@Kentucky-ev7bd]

Question - why are these guns all at an angle?

[@nickmaclachlan5178]

I have one of these that I use for fencing. It's a great product and works fantastically the only complaint I have is that mine refuses to feed and fire the last 5 nails off a roll. I don't know if this is just mine or whether they all do it, but it kinda infuriates me as it's wasting my money. Only a very small amount of money for sure, but it's a waste none the less.

[@parrot340]

Do u have the model number for the Dewalt plz. plz no Amazon links in the UK and cant get on US site ☹

[@woodstream6137]

Can this be used for vinyl siding?

[@jesseparris6507]

Didn't see your Amazon link mentioned. I've got cedar shakes to install and I need a coil siding nailer.

[@johnnybarbar7435]

try tools-plus.com for the N66C-1 and N75C-1 guns. They have some of the best prices I've found and free shipping. If you ever might need a framing gun go with the N75C-1. It can shoot 1-1/2" to 3" nails. The N66C-1 shoots 1-1/4" to 2-1/2". Both have depth adjustment and rubber tips for delicate work. I highly recommend you use the single fire ( sequential) triggers that come with them instead of the bump fire for anything but sheathing jobs.

[@Downeastwaves]

I seem to remember DeWalt sponsors SkillsUSA VICA good company.

[@thecoin8042]

What size of cement fiber siding nail do you need to use with a framing nailer?

[@MrTkshiu]

where do you get the case?

[@loucifer323]

Dewalt makes a cordless roofing nailer now

[@RiverPlaid]

Thank you 🌸

[@historyofplacesandpeople4366]

I’m looking for HART 20-Volt Cordless nail gun guys?!!!!!!! With Charger + battery 18

[@MichaelJordan-hn4zd]

Is the head of the siding nail smaller than the small framing nail heads?

[@ketolifestyle68]

brad nailer for a fence with pine wood,.. or ?

[@Downeastwaves]

Oh!! 17,999 subs!!!

[@dlynnfrazier5216]

Would the siding nail gun work on cedar shakes as siding? I am going to be replacing a couple of courses to redo some porch roofing, and it will be vastly easier (as you surely know) to use a nailer. Also, what sort of compressor do you use? I have a small one for my finish nailer, and I am not sure if it is good for much. (I am not at home and forget the rating.)

[@LumnahAcres]

You will have to get the right nails

[@jameslopez7150]

Air up the nose has me laughing, nice video

[@ddsbackyardcoop6814]

Great video! Tfs 🐔

[@R7Romeo]

I didn't know the gun came with a carrying case..

[@FromThe3PointLine]

Dewalt will always have superior tools

[@marktaylor3630]

Siding gun is more like a roofing gun then a framing gun
