I like to keep ToMoCo in business. I’ve learned that I stick all my specialty Toyota parts in the glove box to avoid losing them

Looks like all the ones we have at my shop.This came with the farm that I bought, I brought it home for the shop, gonna put a bench grinder on it that I got from The Laundry Fairy's Pawpaw many years back.
Just it gave a coat of flat black rustoleum.

Well I packed the DeWalt nailer up to return it. It can't sink 3-1/2" nails so it's useless to me. I tried the 4A battery that came with it but guys online were saying you needed at least a 6A battery. So I tried my 9A 60v flex battery and got the same results.Well it was a sad day for a couple of old tools. Our shared family portable compressor and framer gun bit the dust. The old compressor is a "maintenance free", sealed motor and it's about 20 years old.
Ran to homeless despot and picked up this 20V framer for $50 off. Verdicts still out if I like it. It was struggling at first to sink 3-1/2" stainless steel shank nails but after about 10 of them, it started sinking them in deeper.

Also ordered a 20V portable compressor for my siding and finish nailers. It'll be nice to use at Jasons and my bosses ranch to build stuff too. Had to order it online because the closest one in stock was in bumfuck Spring.
Also, if Home Depot shows 1 item in stock online, that means they don't have it. That one item "in stock" is the display model.
I ended up picking a Makita pneumatic nailer. The Milwaukee cordless was just too expensive and I remembered there was an old Sears 220V 2HP compressor at my moms that my stepdad fixed. So I brought that over to my house to use in the meantime but I need to fix the regulator on it. And for a 220V compressor, it fills up so damn slow. I think I understand why my stepdad put it away after he fixed it at the time.Well I packed the DeWalt nailer up to return it. It can't sink 3-1/2" nails so it's useless to me.

It also takes too long to spool up. Guess I'm getting the Milwaukee cordless nailer to try that.
Yeah it sucks this one didn't work out. From what other guys have said online, it either works great or its a POS. Seems I got a POS.My father-in-law has a Porter Cable battery powered nailer he uses for work. He seems pretty happy with it. I am not sure how much he uses it for 3-1/2" nails but I know he uses it a lot.
Haven't read up on those.I've been curious about the Ridgid nailer.

I have no need to buy one now, and I have the pneumatic one that has served me well if I ever get another project that would require it.
Buffalo Trace or the Packout? I would be careful with the Packout. It is addicting fast.
