Which type, then brand of framing nailer?

My Bostitch PPN and stapler made it through one job and the trigger valves went out.

I'm going to have pick up a NR90. The one that I have is 18 years old and the newer one is a pound less. May not sound like much but at the end of the day it doesn't take two hands to hold it up.

Someone stole my 25 year old Senco so I get to buy a new Hitachi

I think Home Depot is no longer carrying the Hitachi framing nailers, which is a real shame.

Lots of other brands, but the Hitachi's are the best IMHO.

For sure, but Joe public looks at price over quality and box stores look at volume.
In order to maintain quality mfg have to hold price and kudos to Hitachi as many of us still respect quality.
