21* vs 30* framing nailers
I can’t find it in any writing but I’m pretty sure
21* plastic nail strips
30* paper coated nails
Going to be investing in a framing nail gun. Trying to decide between 21* and 30*

im not a framer. I’m a plumber. I occasionally use nail gun for backing. Wondering what nail gun you prefer or nails?
i lean towards 21* or plastic nail strip because every framer has these and I probably would never have to buy any nails
30* more expensive. More rare. But I think there’s a lot more in a strip. Seems stupid to make 2 different nail guns with a 9* difference

Some areas require full heads. 30 degree are usually clipped heads. Mine is a 30 degree Paslode. I like it because the magazine isn't long, and the sharper angle seems to make it a little easier to manuever.
Never noticed one was more rare or expensive than another.

I have a 28° Bostich. It can use both full head and clip head 28° nails. The Bostich brand nails are wire collated with a full offset head. Some of the other brands have the paper collate and clip head. IMO the biggest advantage to the paper collate is if you need 1 or 2 nails and don't wish to use the gun - they are easier to peel off of the strip.
I've never noticed any price differences or availability between the different angles.
