Fact #1. Siding on a house protects the lumber out of which the home's frame is built. Anything from heavy rains to gale force winds can wreak havoc on a home. The former poses particular threats in the form of rot and black mold. Good siding is like a firm layer of skin there to protect your house from the elements.
Fact #2. When applying siding, as with almost any other nailing job, the fewer nails you need to perform a task, the better. Piercing any material is liable to weaken it. Littering a piece of siding with too many holes can put the infrastructure of a home at risk. Fewer nails also means time saved in the siding process.
Fact #3. Siding nailers perform more quickly and efficiently than comparable nail guns. This is due to the size of the opening through which a siding nail fires. In order to anchor your siding firmly against wind and rain without increasing the number of nails required, siding nails come with much wider heads than those used in other nail guns. As a result, you need fewer nails to secure more surface area.
Fact #4. A large number of nail guns on the market offer different magazine styles. Siding nailers universally utilize barrel magazines that make the units resemble the Tommy guns of the 1920s. If your child is hard-pressed for a Halloween costume, you can spray paint an old unit, draw a line down their cheek, and send them out trick-or-treating as Scarface.
Fact #5. Something to consider before purchasing is the size of your average job. If you routinely work on large structures, siding them in their entirety, you're going to want a gun that can accommodate you. That means it will need to be lightweight, and capable of accepting a large-capacity magazine of nails.
