How we install Permanent Bracing while Framing! Major Partnership Announcement

[@troysgt]

This is an awesome video. I have friends who started their build and a blizzard came through after they had the roof on without walls. Whole thing came down. I thought it may have been a material problem, but after watching this, I realized they didn’t have good bracing. This is incredibly helpful. Thank you for doing this video. Also thanks for the tips on the Paslode, I always thought it was dumb because of the need to constantly buy fuel. You made some great points that are causing me to reconsider.

On what you call your kickers, I nail another board flat on top creating a "T". It locks the board from being able to spring side to side when a lot of force is pushing against the end walls. We catch a lot of wind here in Kansas so it's just another quick add for even more rigidity. I always look forward to your videos every week. Keep em coming

[@jacobwaugh1368]

after the deracho we started adding joist hangers to them on the non gable truss. You are talking about a what I would call a stiffner board right? running the full length of the "kicker"

[@burkestrand5070]

Hey Kyle, love you guys and everything you do and stand for! I had an Amish builder build my pole structure last fall, they employ alot of your techniques but obviously don't carry quite the arsenal of tools you guys do. One thing I noticed on the angle bracing at the endwalls they attach an additional 2x6 perpendicular so you have basically an angle T support. Cheap stiffner idea I thought I would share, probably not neccesary but like you I'm next door in Iowa and this being the windy Midwest I sleep better at night LOL!

“Math never lies.” Agreed. Unfortunately, to some people 2+3 is 6, and they would try to justify it by saying, for small values of six and for larger values of 2 and 3. This happens to people who want facts and numbers to follow their rigid opinions instead of the other way around. Your skill level combined with great narrative ability is a real gift. Thank you

[@adubbelde1]

around 20 years ago I was reframing a gable end on my house. My bro in law loaned me his ancient SENCO framing nailer. It was so heavy I couldn't;'t roll it up to nail overhead with one hand. My neiigbor came over and brought his Paslode pneumatic nailer. I had never used one and was amazed it how much lighter it was. That's when I bought one. For the 60d nails, I would use my palm nailer. Yes they are loud. I have hearing protection.

[@robertdean9392]

Great info on bracing. Been using the Pasalode nailers for about 6 months. Love it because of light weight and no air hose

[@richg8799]

Some people are bashing him about the endorsement, I say good for him. If Milwaukee was smart they would have stepped up to the plate first. Just be glad he doesn't charge us to watch is informative videos!!

[@travismassengale3743]

We do production framing so use mainly air nailers. But we also keep cordless nailers for punch out list, setting trusses, etc. we have owned all of them and are currently running Milwaukee’s because that is the battery platform we use. The Milwaukee by far has been the most disappointing. And you can’t work on them. The paslodes are the most dependable if you know how to use them. You have to fully in gage the nose,pull the trigger, and hold the trigger for a half second after it fires before releasing the trigger. I have taken nailers from guess that couldn’t get them to shoot and they would shoot every time for me. There down fall is the price of gas which is why we don’t use them much but define the most dependable and I have owned 12 to 15 of them.

[@groberjager4746]

well Kyle, really do enjoy watching the full builds though, really do but do imagine that all that shooting and editing does get old. This was an informative shoot and look forward to all of them, You and Greg rock!!!!

[@shootermcgavin1554]

I finally sold my last Paslode nailer, and I had 6. Nothing but a waste of time. All replaced with Milwaukee. They work in the cold, and don't need cleaned all the time. The Paslodes were a PITA.

[@skliros9235]

How old were your paslodes? Because the latest versions with the lithium batteries are extremely reliable.

[@skliros9235]

There's quite a few negative comments. But from someone who frames everyday, the paslode cannot be beat. The paslode will shoot hundreds of thousands of nails, with only needing an occasional cleaning. The only negative is the cost of the fuel cells. But it's still worth it to pay for fuel just for the convenience of cordless. I could not imagine trying to carry a heavy bulky Milwaukee nailer all day.

[@Strongman0307]

[@mattfowler7892]

On the nail gun topic I'll say this......The technology that MetaboHPT and Milwaukee uses in their nailers(recirculating air), to me, is the better option for a couple of reasons, 1) It doesn't produce the fumes that come out of a Paslode(after spending my entire life either on my dad's or my own job sites I've breathed my fair share of noxious fumes from other trades) and 2) having a gas component adds one more thing I will have to swap out throughout the day for a total of three. Battery, gas, and clavos. And don't forget the daily maintenance those orange guns require to operate smoothly. I've got four of them in my garage right now that need a $150 spark unit and I don't plan on investing that much in them. On the other hand my Metabo 30° framing gun has no flaws that I've found, the 30° option shoots Paslode nails and with the steeper angle it reminds me of the very short headed Maxx SuperFramers which easily fit between 16" stud bays when toenailing. As for the weight "issue", there used to be a time not that long ago when a man was proud of the fact that he had to be strong to do his job, not everybody could fling an old HD77 skilsaw around all day while playing jump rope with his own cord AND hose, as well as those of his crew. These days we want everything lighter and dumber(this is a jab at tape measures with fractions on them). Great video, I realize it's a few years old but I am the son of a truss/lumber salesman and tool junky so the content of your video hit home. Thanks again, keep up the good work guys.

[@deanehill9730]

[@jacobrowland9134]

I always really respected you for your honest reviews even when I disagreed. One thing I know for sure is that before the sponsorship you used the Hitachi and Milwaukee way more than your Paslode. I know you've said you can stand behind it but from earlier videos it was obvious it was not your favorite or even second favorite cordless gun. If I was offered a sponsorship I'd probably consider it pretty hard too but I did always like knowing you were honest.

[@RRBuildings]

Jacob, you can rest assured whether you trust to believe me or not, I was 100% honest again in this video.

[@Peter-gi3re]

Kyle, In your defense..... I don’t agree with a lot of people criticizing you for switching to Paslode and calling you a sell out. 1. I don’t fault you for switching if you are getting good sponsorship. 2. Pretty much anytime you are recommending something you are clear that it is your personal opinion and based on your particular experience and may not be suitable for everybody else’s situation. In the same way you talk about the bracing you are using isn’t necessarily the only way or best way of doing it. 3. I am not a carpenter and have only used a Paslode a few times. I think one of the key points you wanted to make about having trouble free use with the Paslode is the importance of regular maintenance and cleaning. From reading a lot of the plus and minus comments on the Paslode I think the reality of day to day use is that a lot of people may not be keeping on top of doing that maintenance and cleaning. If someone is the owner/operator of the tool I bet the maintenance is taken care of better compared to a larger contractor who has a bunch of guys using the tool and not caring about abusing it. 4. If for some reason you decide to switch away from Paslode in the future and go back to battery only tools .......... it will be sh%# show out here with comments again 😂

[@jacobwaugh1368]

I am seriously regretting not paying more attention in Trig everyday I'm framing lol. We've always traced "kickers" (we call them jack braces) up in the trusses. Thus needing two people. A guy last week pointed out we could trace them on the ground from the sidewall if we knew the height of the truss at that pole's position on the endwall. What is faster math or tracing?? Probably depends on the person/crew lol. Love using the "collective mind" that is youtube to increase efficiency day to day. Thanks for the video!

[@topiasriiho8072]

It seems the best cordless nail gun manufacturer is the one who is willing to put most money to sponsoring. Paslode must be desperate because the battery only operated guns are becoming so popular. My experience on using both types of nailers are quite the opposite from the claims in this video when it comes to need for service and winter use. Once they are able to reduce the weight and size of these framing nailers, there is no excuse for anyone to buy gas nailers anymore.

[@MrDakkyz]

That... electronics shutting off was utter nonsense Milwaukee is rated to work down to -17 or 0F lol The sell out is what ever, but blurting out misinformation is another thing. The gas has a use by date and is an explosive, it's only rated to work down to -10 or 14F In hot weather they over heat and shut down due to the heat they produce. Plus the service costs and turn around and the initial buy in of the tool + GAS.

[@billycanale1486]

Im a carpenter in Australia i use the paslode finish and framer and service the framer every 6000 nails otherwise it miss fires if you use it any longer then that only reason i haven't switched to battery is because they are to heavy using then on residential houses and climbing through the roof. And the reason i would move away from paslode is having to spend $25 to service every 2 boxes of nails and the fact you can buy 3-4 boxes of normal gun nails to one box of paslode nails with the gas which is $75-$80

[@kp3.]

All those haters on paslode . Lol . Any professional framer knows there is nothing better on the market today. We run paslode guns for 2 years before replacing with new ones .

[@davetaylor4741]

I use Paslode nailers both Framing and finish mainly because of the weight. The battery only versions are stupidly heavy. I wouldn't say that you don't have many problems with them though as in my experience of using them for many years they are generally a pain in the arse. Often in the shop for repair and always something playing up on them. on the newer ones there is a circuit board and a micro switch set up which like all things electronic is the first to go. In my experience the old ones were more reliable than the newer models. The ergonomics and the weight are the decider though. And much better than a hammer.

Weight of the tool is an advantage when working with it (i.e. the lighter the better) however doesn't the lighter weight cause more light-strike nail settings, or, cause the operator to use more downward force to compensate for the lighter weight in order to get the nail completely seated ?

I love my Milwaukee nailer, and it hits way harder than the Paslodes we get down here, and its a point of difference in the company I work for, and as you said, god above it is heavy. I only have 5Ah batteries and they're a fair weight, and I tried one with a 2Ah today that the rep had, and it balances up a little bit better but still heavier than the Hikoki. This does feel like a bit of a sellout given what you've said about the older Paslode nailers, but if it pays the bills then "that's the way she goes", and if its better than the current model Paslodes, then I might look at getting one for overhead work. Yeah, they are way lighter, yeah they feel way nicer in the hand, but its still gotta be able to sink a 3.5 inch galv slick through LVL J frame. Paslode does need to step up with their nails though, I can't use the 2.5 inch ring shank flooring nails through my Milwaukee. The first hint of anything slightly too hard and it just bends the nails right in half without hardly sinking them, whereas I can sink equivalent Delfast nails no problem

Kyle if you are installing ceiling steel wouldn't that provide most of the wind tie function? I'm pretty sure it would. I discussed this with my structural engineer from my garage when I installed plywood for storage on the bottom chord in certain locations in between the fans.

Can one do a standing seam roof, but use it down the sides for a complete standing seam building?

[@BraxxJuventa]

Thanks for the video Kyle. 👍😁

[@luisd.espana1376]

Yes please. I just bought my Paslode gun and I would like to know how to clean it and care for it

[@davidpeterson5186]

When you are installing the wind ties, do you have the spacing between the trusses marked or do you measure to ensure the trusses are evenly spaced?

[@Chris-ho5zb]

The spacing is determined my the truss manufacture, it’s listed on the paperwork. On my build it’s ever 5ft

If money, weight and cords are NOT an issue, what’s the most durable and efficient gun to buy, I’ve been trying to decide on one for the last 5 years.

[@uglyashelful]

Honestly, look for an old Hitachi NR83A for full head of NR83AA for clipped head. Great guns, need a compressor. The NR83A2 is a close second, still made in Japan. I've heard that the newer versions aren't as reliable.

I use a paslode all the time , I have the finish nailer

[@chaseweeks2708]

If you're doing this every day, yeah it would be cool. My biggest issues are the need to keep getting fuel, and one more battery form factor to keep charged.

[@RRBuildings]

I just replaced fuel for the first time... I’ve been using for a few weeks.. you aren’t using this for full time framing... even as much as I frame I still don’t go thru fuel that quick

[@chaseweeks2708]

@@RRBuildings, yeah it probably wouldn't be as often as I thought, and you could probably pick up a 6month or 1year supply pretty easy. The only thing that would really suck is if you fire your last nail on a fuel tube and realize you forgot to order more. Fortunately for your job trailer you've got other options, as I think most would.

So what’s the difference in this method and blocking for rigidity? Just curious.
