I'm a trim carpenter by trade and love some paslode guns. I've talked to some people that use the harbor freight guns (for work) and they say they last about a year. With how much you use them they might last a while, but if you get a better gun, it will probably out last you. I also have porter cable guns and like them as well. A little 4-6 gallon compressor will do you fine. Even for the framing gun. We use an 8 gallon at work and it runs me and my partner no problem. Actually it is a harbor freight, central pnuematic (spelling), compressor. It is oiled. Don't get an oiless compressor. You'll be on borrowed time, trust me. Had it around 1 1/2 years and it still works great. If it were me I wouldn't get a harbor freight gun. Another point is repair ability. When or if something goes wrong with a name brand gun, easy to get parts. Hardly ever happens. We go thround about 6,000 nails on each house, and do 2 houses a week. It adds up quickly. Paslode all the way!! We also have airy pin guns, GREAT!!! Not produced any more. Hitachi staple guns, excellent gun as well. Do yourself a favor and get a decent gun, it will be worth it.
