I need an air nailer to put together armadillo traps. They are primarily 1 x 6 pressure treated, some 2 x 2 pressure treated in there. I had a Harbor Freight nail gun that was a 6 in one nailer. It would do several angles and sizes, clipped or unclipped. I had some 2 1/2 nails that worked fine for this use, but it is shot. I bought another framing nailer, but it will only do 21 degree full head 3 1/2 inch I have used my trim nailer that uses the little wires with no head, not really impressed with those for this use. what size nails do I need, and I will find the correct nailer for them. Looked at Harbor Freight today and they have mostly finishing nailers and staplers.
 
I was able to buy used/reconditioned USA made air nailers, price was good, quality great.
 
Ryobi has a battery powered nailer. I LOVE it.
The problem with the air powered one (which I love in the shop) is dragging the hose around. A major PIA when you have a handful of nails to shoot.
You can get them at a discount at:

For what I am doing the air nailer is great. Wish Harbor Freight still made the 6 in one. I would rebuild mine but they don't offer seal kits.

Most of the rubber parts in your pneumatic tools are available and most of the time it's only a couple o rings
 
It has some hard plastic sealer wrings, kinda like piston rings. Harbor Freight does not show that it stocks parts for this model, but I have the parts book. I guess I need to call them just in case. It’s probably a copy of somebody’s name brand..
