I'm taking the flooring out of my front room, laying down 3/4 inch plywood and 1/4 inch cement board, and then tile. I want to use a nail gun to build additional 2 X 4 supports for screwing down the plywood. I don't need the Cadillac of nail guns, but I would like one that I can use on other building projects in the future for 2 X 4 framing, maybe building a porch or shed or somethng like that. I have a 33 gallon air compressor that I'll use with this gun. So what are the recommendations? Thanks, Mike

Michael,
I'd have to agree with Leon.
The Bostitch line is a happy medium of price & quality.
I have had their framer, finish nailer, and brad nailer for years with
only one minor hiccup. The trigger valve on the brad nailer went tits
up on me some years ago. The local hardware store (a Bostitch dealer)
had the part in stock for $25, and 20 minutes later I was back in
business.

having never used a palm nailer it was an excellent experience
could not have done that solo without that palm nailer
no problem driving 16 penny nails or 6 penny
and once you get used to it and set the pressure correct for the
material you will not see any sign of nailing except the nail

pleasantly surprised.
Not only does it perform very well, but it is also surprisingly light.
