Quiet in comparison to a paslode through. :I've got the Dewalt. Quite noisey though (so my neighbours tell me) . I was wearing ear protectors so didn't notice

Been there done that.I’d like a de Walt just to avoid having to tuck cold cylinders down my trousers on cold days
Can't get away with the spring type guns the ones I tried were heavy like the Hilti, don't know if they have improved as of late but the last one I had hold of was NiCad battery. Suppose its stick with what you know and/or if it isn't broke don't fix it or your not trying hard enough to break it.
they look simple and easy to use...in all fairness regarding the Paslode and reliability,i strip and clean mine religiously every other weekend and replace the top and bottom O rings every box of nails and dont have an once of trouble..The trouble begins when you start lending them out and i never do and tell people who ask "would you lend me your Colt pistol if you were a cowboy in dodge city" its the type of tool that works best with one man and that being its owner.The Dewalts aren't sprung mate. Well. They have a return spring to draw the hammer back.
From my understanding its a big flywheel spinning and when you bump/pull trigger it's pushed into the hammer driving the nail out.
Shown here. Took a bit of searching to find a video showing how. Minute or so in.
Mines 2 years old now. Haven't done anything to it other than bang nails in. Seemed to be forever messing with the paslodes especially when used sporadically.
Since you recommended Bulldog a while back after i got my Dewalt nailer kit i can honestly say most of my mates have started ordering from them, So we do a bulk order between 6 of us and all put in 20% each... NIce bunch of lads but not good at mathsAll my nails come from here these days as I'm battery rather than gas. Good quality and good service. Better with big orders t save,on postage.
80mm ring 90mmm screw here.
