Looking at your framing for the laundry connection. I would ask you to move that stud (packing) over closer to the middle. Our method in the US requires a p-trap in one Bay and the sanitary tee in the adjacent bay, with at least 4" of pipe between them. There's just never enough space in one bay for all that jazz (our typical studs are 16" centered, giving about 14-5/8" between.) Curious about plumbing standards in NZ. CHEERS! Love your channel.

Now you've had the hikoki framer gun a while. How are u rating it???? Thinking about getting one

[@Clark-Mills]

Quality, quiet (Star Wars sound actually), not smelly nor requiring gas/servicing. Powerful. Heavier so may not suit all. Uses batteries (kit comes with two, charger & decent case) but then so do most of our other tools, gets a fair whack of nails out per charge.

[@bumnutz09]

@@Clark-Mills agreed. just as powerful as a paslode if not more so. It's bloody heavy though

[@dankent8060]

I've had no end of troubles with mine. Constant misfiring. It fires, but doesn't shoot a nail. I've seen a few you tubers mention the same issue (including Scott) but no one seems to go into detail about it. Everyone has told me its a nail issue (too much glue on the nails) but it does it with all brands / different batches. I've since realised its the spring mechanism in the nail cartridge. It doesn't push the nails all the way up. If you use your spare hand to push the lever up while firing, it shoots a nail EVERY time - let it go and is misfires more often than not. Two handed firing is obviously not ideal! About to go back to Hikoki to see what they say. Unfortunately I wasted a lot of time trying different nails, so it might not be covered by warranty. Almost ready to bin the thing!

[@Stolendesign]

@@dankent8060 bugger on the misfire, I have had mine for 5 months and had misfires on paslode nails and then switched to ecko and have had no problems (the whole glue/paper issue). am assuming you have opened up the nail race and cleaned out around the firing pin etc to get rid of any residual glue - and therefore could just be a bung one. have had good response from hikoki nz with a past warranty claim on a drop saw, had it fixed and back to me in 3 days - best to ring them direct to sort it I believe. Other than that @barrytheglasgowjoiner it is a good piece of kit but it is heavy. am about to do a whole scratch built, stick frame job (most stuff comes in prenail packs in NZ) so will see if my forearm and tool belt can take it. also needs a better belt hook. is decent quality but it only fits on belt not on a joist/rafter

[@Wackywoodworks]

I have the Hitachi version (before the name change) and mine has not skipped a beat... it has never misfired. I gets used regularly. At the moment it is recladding our house with the weatherboards... and has worked brilliantly... (but I can't remember the brand of nails I am using...)

[@scottking6310]

Ok I have the same dalluge titanium hammer. Do you have my issues with the handle. I’ve bought 4 for mine in the last year

[@JooshYT]

When framing, why do you use a nailgun over screws. I get nails are faster and cheaper but do they not work loose overtime or is that only applicable for floorboards as you get the infamous squeek after a few years.

What blade do you use for cutting through nails in framing with your reciprocal saw. I have the same one but found the Makita blades wear out pretty quick.

I usually use a grinder for nails wood or concrete to avoid holes. Less damage to wood or concrete, easier, and avoid the odds of nailing/screws on or next to the empty nail hole for cracking or loose application.

Scott covered this in a previous vid. NZ building code says timber treatment hazard class H1.2 is now required for radiata pine and Douglas fir timber in buildings, where it is protected from the weather. H1.2 gives framing timber good protection from decay. H1.2 boron treatment is colour-coded pink. so yes, probably a NZ thing

It's done more frequently in new buildings and when things are seriously renovated. Most older buildings, no-one cared. Energy was dirt, dirt cheap until around the 70s, so they just ventilated and re-heated. Fun fact: Early hot water cylinders had an electric heating element that was on 24/7.
