  1. i use a hitachi nr 90 same as a a paslode ,great bit of kit, my closeboard fencing comes in fits and starts so it suits me fine, fairly light,easy to service, takes non brand nails and gas, 2 batteries as standard, only problem ive had is with cold gas, but as others have said keep one warm and swap when they stop working, easier to load nails than a paslode too, maybe you could get a demo of a paslode to see what you think, i use mine in all aspects for closeboard, 90 mm nails for rails and cleats,63mm for gravel boards,and 50mm fot the feather edge
