Buying an air framing nailer gun

[Trent]

Is this for homeowner use or contractor use?

I was about to start a thread today too, I'm also in need of one, just need it to finish 500 sq ft in our basement then I won't have any need for it anymore. I'm looking for a cheapy.

What's the diff between clip head versus full head?

I just want a cheapy for now. I'll buy better one later. Funds tight. Just need for framing roof rafters and walls right now.

If someone just wants one for occasional use, I got a 2 - gun Bostitch set 3 years ago and they still work great. Only use them every couple of months but they've been great so far. Got them from Lowe's if I remember correctly.

I just found a reconditioned Senco from CPO Outlets (I just bought a Skil 12" miter saw from them, very fast & free shipping): Senco - http://www.reconditionedtools.com/factory-reconditioned-senco-1g0003r-framepro--601--3-1-2-in-clipped-head-framing-nailer--proseries-/senr1g0003r,default,pd.html?start=3&cgid=framing-nailers

That looks like a good buy.

Here's another cheapy from HD (a few good reviews) - http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc...splay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053

**Edit**
My explanation was off. Here is a graphic

As far as the advantage of a clip, I'd be curious to hear of any besides cost.
