Nails Hitachi

What brand Framing Nail Gun should I get my husband for Xmas?
My husband wants a nail gun for Christmas--and he said it should be a framing nail gun. I will probably go to Home Depot but before I purchase all he needs I want to do some research. I've been reading online about different types, and I definitely will get a compressor with it as well, but don't know what type to get on that either. He is a professional Handyman and really needs to upgrade from using a hammer all the time when he builds fences and other structures. Any ideas appreciated! I understand Hitachi is good?
The first thing to consider is how much framing he actually does. If he does a a lot of framing such as decks, new homes, basements, additions, an so on then I would recommend a coil framer. I prefer the Bostich where coils are concerned. If he does the occasional framing job such as the odd deck or basement then a stick framer will be sufficient. The Hitachi is O.K. but out of the stick nailers the Pasload is miles ahead. The Rigid would be my next choice. Both guns have plenty of power and will nail into LSL or LVL with no problems, much less dimensional lumber treated or otherwise.
If your husband only does framing on a rare occasion or does predominately fences the Pasload cordless framing nailer is the way to go. It costs a bit more to run and is to slow for production framing but for the occasional small framing job you can't beat the ease of use and portability.
As far as compressors go again it will depend on the amount of framing as well as what other activities he does through the course of the day. If he does the odd framing job and a few trim jobs then he may get a way with a pancake style compressor. Porter Cable will work fine. If he does a lot of framing, door hanging, flooring, and trim running then he needs something with more power the D55146 by Dewalt will handle all of those jobs without any problems.
Of course if he only does the occasional of trim work as well and does not do flooring then you could go with either a Pasload cordless trim gun or any of the battery powered trim guns. I would recommend the Dewalt 18V cordless trim gun over both the Pasload and Rigid. The battery powered guns can be used in a production style setting.
