[QUOTE="Apache, post: 26896, member: 828"] Ok - me half sensible answer. Gas cartridge nail guns (paslode) are great bits of kit and great for roofing, flooring etc but I have seen them struggle on anything but lightweight blocks. They are expensive to buy and consumables cost a lot. Compressor guns are cheaper and all you have to buy are nails but you have to lug a compressor around. If you have a compressor already may be worth considering. I also had a play with a Dewalt 18V nail gun and was impressed but only used it on wood, no idea about suitability on masonry. Realistically how much time do you spend capping, and when you do how many nails do you actually put in it? Roofers may get through 1000's of nails a day. [/QUOTE]
