Finally a cordless nailer with punch
In 10 years of being a Carpenter I've owned the senco fusion, milwaukee 16g fixer, dewalt 16g and now I have my hands on the hikoki 15g.
First impression was the weight of the tool was on the heavier side, although the gun has less kick back than competitors so it's only really an issue with over head work. Having said that, the major benefit this gun brings is its punch. This gun is the punching champ of the gasless/cordless fixers, which from my experience has been the major compromise when coming from gas/air.
Purchased in January 2021 at Sydney Tools for A$1,300.00.

What degrees nails are used in the framer

This fixing gun uses 15 gauge nails so its not a 'framer'. Think you will find its nails require a 34 degree angle (like many other 15g nailers in Oz). The Bostich 15g nailer I understand requires 25 degree nails.
