I picked up a used dufast 16 guage angle finished nailer from a pawn shop in Minnesota. I got a fairly good deal on it about 1/2 off of list price. That was about three years ago. I used it to build a set of cubbies and coat shelves for my daughter's preschool. It has worked flawlessly. Consider ebay as a potential source for purchasing your nail gun.

I too had a dad who was a carpenter. He built the house I grew up in near Mineral Wells, Texas in 1951. No power tools back in the '50's. Well, they were available but he couldn't afford 'em. So he hand sawed every last board installed in that house. And, get this, soldered ever last electrical connection. So growing weary of pounding nails I too went in search of a nail gun. I chose a Senco for the reason you stated... no oil, requires very little maintenance and uses 3/4" to 2" nails. Priced a new 3 1/2" nailer a few days ago that I will purchase when I start my new shop. Later... More stuff in common… I too had a dad who was a carpenter.
