I know the retracta reel is better for workshops but I'm on an apprentice wage/budget. Yeah I have heaps of expensive tools in my picture but they were purchased when I was doing bulk hours and pulling in much more coin.

Yeah...I hear yah...after posting this I realised that its been 18 years since I set it up...lol...time flys...
The fella I worked for back then just had 30m hose made up as extensions off the reel...Might be worth it if you come across some spare coin.
I have gone battery/gas since but still run the air gun on the hard woods and LVLs or when pushing 4inch frame nails...more punch for ya buck...

Yeah mate, I have an extensive 18v tool collection, but having recently started a carpentry apprenticeship, I needed a framer. I'm not impressed with the two cordless jobs, they are heavier,, expensive and less punch.
Fwiw, I considered buying by the Meter but that is fairly expensive to, around 2.25$ per Meter, and you will need fittings.

Did you try a Pasload Gun mate? i am surprised you didnt go that way to be honest. If i was going again it would be Pasload for sure. I highly recommend a swivel filtting for your airline at tool end too for sure mate. Game changer.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Thanks, I have a 45-70 and find the factory 400gn rounds a lot more pleasant to shoot that the 300gn I have installed a mercury recoil tube in the butt of mine and it tames the recoil quite a bit, however saying that I am waiting delivery of a muzzle brake ex the USA. When it gets here is anyone's guess.

Paslode only make an air framer and a gas framer. Not cordless. The gas ones are expensive to run. The air ones were also out of my price bracket. I researched the market and ended up with a DeWalt air framer. It's just a Bostitch framer dressed up as DeWalt. In most reviews I checked it scored the same as the Paslode, the only thing it doesn't have is dry do fire protection which is fine, I just keep an eye on my magazine.

Yeah I have a Bostich that I bought in about 1992. It has done a bit of work and has never let me down.
The Gas is nice when your cutting a roof without an air hose but it ain't that bad. You work with what you have hey.
Gas guns didn't not exist when I got mine but like the idea.
When I ran my workshop my.local tool supplier got onto swivel air fitting and they are a game changer. I don't know whether they are common now but they were rare back in the day. I worked in a big cabinet making shop after I closed my shop and the boys there could not believe it when I walked in with swivels on all my tools. They where like WTF!!! Give me a go!!!
If you have not got a swivel you NEED This! LOL. Happy to post a pic if you have not seen one.

Believe I know what you're talking about but why not post up for everyone? The boss uses euro plug, it spins very well on the fitting as opposed to nitto but I'll consider grabbing one next time I'm at Bunnings
