The high pressure systems mean the guns themselves are lighter, can also get guns to fix timber to steel/concrete. I love the idea of them but blady expensive.34barWTH are you doing with it .. like the extra battery of tanks available for it

Yes think because they use high pressure they require less air & hit harder
Everything about them are 
Hose connectors etc are special hard to get parts without going direct to stealers! Can have 2 nailers going at same time sarking a roof and not run out of air/pressure.

I'm looking into the Milwaukee Fencing stapler at the moment Looks a good tool but I've read that once it's done a certain amount around 25000 staples the cylinder inside looses it's pressure and essentially scrap- although there's a few videos online showing how to regas the cylinder but it not an official practise

It's not. But I calculated that's about 4100 posts or 12500 meters of stock fencing. I don't intend to do more than that over the rest of my lifethat is not a lot of staples

i know all the new battery only nailguns that have a air cylinder in them need regasing. Most run on air (hikoki, the new makita and there are brands like ryobi, senco and aeg) the milwaukee runs on nitrogen. The air ones you can do yourself but the milwaukee you have to send back to them. This is all based on framing nailers but i assume is same system. Think all milwaukee nailers/piners have cylinder in them now.

Where they probably charge not far off what a new one costs

TBF 4k posts ain't bad ...you'll have had your money's worth and a cheap air nailer be long since dead that's if you managed to get driver blades for itWhere they probably charge not far off what a new one costs

Maybe with a suitable adaptor and a breaker regas cylinder….

The dewalt I used works on some sort of flywheel system as far as I could see/hear/feel - not sure there was any gas involved. It was a brilliant bit of kit! (But happy to be proven wrong!)

Yeh on a flywheel no gas. They are not a terrible gun but definitely jam the most often from my experience. They also have a jam clear leaver on top which obviously shows dewalt knows they jam up. We still run paslodes, when your using all day especially above your head the lighter weight is very obvious the new battery only gas guns are alot heavier even compared to compressor framer. Just have to make sure service paslodes. The dewalt is nice and light just jams alot from my experience.

My only experience of it was battening out a single-pitch roof - it didn’t jam once. I guess we got lucky!

got a W size N2 sat -- used to use it to re-gas the lift cylinders on my Pearson guillotine .. and the reg. and couplings

Here's a question. All that battening how many times did the nail miss the rafters using a gun?
What's going on the other side- looks some sturdy joists?

Didn’t miss any - the gun was really easy to ‘place’. It gets through nails at a phenomenal rate though - you seem to run out regularly (which isn’t a complaint about the gun, just something that took a bit of getting used to).
At the back it’s just a flat roof - the span was more than the local builders merchants keep in general stock and it ended up being not much more to do it in 9x3s than the spec’d 7x3s as 20 foot is an off-the-shelf shed building size. It’s not going to blow away that’s for sure!
