    Ive been doing a lot of 9 - 12mm boarding lately and still have another 120m2 phase to do in a couple weeks and paying my labourer to screw down by impact driver seems wasted time and cruel :D so m going to invest. Ive used both coil nailer and screw gun before many times but cant decide which one to go for.

    What have you got?

    Use a CN45 and a Naardi twin compressor (tube frame is also airtank)

    Recently bought the dewalt screw gun for small jobs..

    So, use both :cool:

    Good think about Spotnails compressor is it has a built in oil feeder to stop the gun failing.

    The compressor is but the air tools still need oil or they will start to jam.

    I will be getting another coil nailer at some point for speed. I do also have a senco duraspin screw gun. It's a beast and drives the screws in properly.

    Its confusing because it says 399 + vat for the 2 but it works out a lot higher than that when you are just about to pay o_O whether its member/special price I dont know but it dont bloody state
