Score: 82/100
NuMax SFR2190
Score: 72/100Rankings
The Bostitch N80CB-1 is a pneumatic coil framing nailer designed for high-volume construction applications, featuring an aluminum housing and a large-capacity magazine. It fires 15-degree wire-collated coil nails and is commonly used for framing, decking, and sheathing. It is best suited for professional contractors engaged in high-volume work where reload frequency needs to be minimized.
The NuMax SFR2190 is a lightweight pneumatic framing nailer designed for DIY homeowners and light hobbyists. It features a magnesium body and tool-free depth adjustment, making it a cost-effective choice for fencing and deck construction. However, it lacks the durability and detailed specs required for heavy commercial framing.
