Found out some cordless nailers are actually slower than pneumatics
I was reading Fine Homebuilding last week and saw a test. They timed a top brand cordless framing nailer against a basic pneumatic setup. The cordless took almost 3 seconds longer per 10 nails sunk. That surprised me because everyone says cordless is the future. But think about it - that wait for the compressor to recharge the gas canister adds up. On a big roof job that could mean hours lost. Is the convenience really worth the slower pace? Or do you guys see it different on actual job sites?

Wait 3 seconds longer per 10 nails? That's like saving 5 minutes of dragging a hose around but losing an hour of actual nailing. I guess the future comes with a dead battery and a lot of standing around.
