Dune 2: Chicks At The Same Time

tracecomplete posted:

I need to pick up a brad nailer and a pin nailer, both pneumatic. I don't want to go super cheap (the Arrow ones have a reputation for jamming and bending the driver, I'm reading?), and I'm willing to spend a few bucks; is there a pressing reason to buy, like, a DeWalt or a Metabo over something cheaper like a Porter Cable? Are there significant build differences once you get out of the ultra-budget range?

Some people say they really like the Ridgid "clean drive" and that it actually does jam less, but it's 2021 and the internet is mostly lies, so I have no idea.

Is air power the way to go for those still? I know cordless has gotten a shitload better in the last 10years or so, but idk about them for brad/finish nailers.

I also have to do a bunch of trim and may want an excuse to get some 18v stuff...

fair enough, seems like time to take the plunge - is the combo kit the best route to go? I have 12v bosch drill and impact driver and they're done well for years so I haven't had a great reason to buy bigger ones, and it seems like every kit has them. I know I'll be needing a circ saw and finish nailer which don't seem to be common kit components dicking around on home depots site...

If I'm looking for:
Circ Saw (not sure if I really need a worm/hypoid or not)
Nailer
Oscillating tool (Bosch has a 12v one that would match my existing stuff - cheap to just buy the tool but idk if 12v would last long there...
Recip saw maybe? I've got access to corded ones but might be nice...
Nut fucker 5000 - dont really need it but gently caress it why not

Hey does anyone have that link to the place where you could get cheap(er) wallboard/pegboard? I had the tab open for months and never saved it and now the wife wants to get some for tool organizing
