This is an awesome video. I have friends who started their build and a blizzard came through after they had the roof on without walls. Whole thing came down. I thought it may have been a material problem, but after watching this, I realized they didn’t have good bracing. This is incredibly helpful. Thank you for doing this video. Also thanks for the tips on the Paslode, I always thought it was dumb because of the need to constantly buy fuel. You made some great points that are causing me to reconsider.

Glad to see u install them close to the endwall columns. They are also used to help disperse the wind load from the end wall.

Awesome video! Explains why the binding plates are separating from the trusses. It really helped with understanding the bracing needed to repair a 30 year old build.

around 20 years ago I was reframing a gable end on my house. My bro in law loaned me his ancient SENCO framing nailer. It was so heavy I couldn't;'t roll it up to nail overhead with one hand. My neiigbor came over and brought his Paslode pneumatic nailer. I had never used one and was amazed it how much lighter it was. That's when I bought one. For the 60d nails, I would use my palm nailer. Yes they are loud. I have hearing protection.

Hey Kyle, love you guys and everything you do and stand for! I had an Amish builder build my pole structure last fall, they employ alot of your techniques but obviously don't carry quite the arsenal of tools you guys do. One thing I noticed on the angle bracing at the endwalls they attach an additional 2x6 perpendicular so you have basically an angle T support. Cheap stiffner idea I thought I would share, probably not neccesary but like you I'm next door in Iowa and this being the windy Midwest I sleep better at night LOL!

Here I was going to bust your chops on the nail gun and you spilled the beans on your own....Great job Kyle, your getting to be a mind reader.

ALWAYS appreciate your content; but especially your humility to recognize and say that your way isn't the only way or the perfect way, but you explain in detail WHY you do it.

Thank you for sharing your expertise and hard-learned lessons, and for being so transparent, detailed and honest!!! Great workmanship...

Thanks for the video RR building

Wish you would do detailed measurements videos with that calculator app. If we don’t know how to apply the math correctly in the app it does no good. Great work Kyle!

On what you call your kickers, I nail another board flat on top creating a "T". It locks the board from being able to spring side to side when a lot of force is pushing against the end walls. We catch a lot of wind here in Kansas so it's just another quick add for even more rigidity. I always look forward to your videos every week. Keep em coming

“Math never lies.” Agreed. Unfortunately, to some people 2+3 is 6, and they would try to justify it by saying, for small values of six and for larger values of 2 and 3. This happens to people who want facts and numbers to follow their rigid opinions instead of the other way around. Your skill level combined with great narrative ability is a real gift. Thank you

Got the same nailer, had it a while and has held up well.

Enjoyed the show

There's quite a few negative comments. But from someone who frames everyday, the paslode cannot be beat. The paslode will shoot hundreds of thousands of nails, with only needing an occasional cleaning. The only negative is the cost of the fuel cells. But it's still worth it to pay for fuel just for the convenience of cordless. I could not imagine trying to carry a heavy bulky Milwaukee nailer all day.

Very good video based on wall bracing

On the nail gun topic I'll say this......The technology that MetaboHPT and Milwaukee uses in their nailers(recirculating air), to me, is the better option for a couple of reasons, 1) It doesn't produce the fumes that come out of a Paslode(after spending my entire life either on my dad's or my own job sites I've breathed my fair share of noxious fumes from other trades) and 2) having a gas component adds one more thing I will have to swap out throughout the day for a total of three. Battery, gas, and clavos. And don't forget the daily maintenance those orange guns require to operate smoothly. I've got four of them in my garage right now that need a $150 spark unit and I don't plan on investing that much in them. On the other hand my Metabo 30° framing gun has no flaws that I've found, the 30° option shoots Paslode nails and with the steeper angle it reminds me of the very short headed Maxx SuperFramers which easily fit between 16" stud bays when toenailing. As for the weight "issue", there used to be a time not that long ago when a man was proud of the fact that he had to be strong to do his job, not everybody could fling an old HD77 skilsaw around all day while playing jump rope with his own cord AND hose, as well as those of his crew. These days we want everything lighter and dumber(this is a jab at tape measures with fractions on them). Great video, I realize it's a few years old but I am the son of a truss/lumber salesman and tool junky so the content of your video hit home. Thanks again, keep up the good work guys.

I like the double X bracing

Kyle, Love the all the work done by you and Greg. Wish everyone in your industry paid that close of attention to detail. I have been watching your channel for 4 months now and will continue to watch it. Learning a lot. My wife and I are looking at building a barndominium in the next couple of years. I’ll be doing most of the work with help from friends. Both of us wish you and Greg would 1 travel to Ohio and 2 be able afford you guys! Lol. Keep it up and always find ways to improve.

We do production framing so use mainly air nailers. But we also keep cordless nailers for punch out list, setting trusses, etc. we have owned all of them and are currently running Milwaukee’s because that is the battery platform we use. The Milwaukee by far has been the most disappointing. And you can’t work on them. The paslodes are the most dependable if you know how to use them. You have to fully in gage the nose,pull the trigger, and hold the trigger for a half second after it fires before releasing the trigger. I have taken nailers from guess that couldn’t get them to shoot and they would shoot every time for me. There down fall is the price of gas which is why we don’t use them much but define the most dependable and I have owned 12 to 15 of them.

I love to hear that

I am seriously regretting not paying more attention in Trig everyday I'm framing lol. We've always traced "kickers" (we call them jack braces) up in the trusses. Thus needing two people. A guy last week pointed out we could trace them on the ground from the sidewall if we knew the height of the truss at that pole's position on the endwall. What is faster math or tracing?? Probably depends on the person/crew lol. Love using the "collective mind" that is youtube to increase efficiency day to day. Thanks for the video!

Really appreciate you bigging up Paslode. You're are spot on about the weight of battery only nailers, and using one all day is punishing on your wrists. A regularly maintained Paslode gun will give near faultless service. Cheers.

I, like you have every kind of nailer. Even a hammer LOL. The one I reach for every time is the Paslode. Only because of the weight. Yes I have to clean it regularly but I actually enjoy that so no issue. Never a miss fire on a clean gun. Just an opinion.

It seems the best cordless nail gun manufacturer is the one who is willing to put most money to sponsoring. Paslode must be desperate because the battery only operated guns are becoming so popular. My experience on using both types of nailers are quite the opposite from the claims in this video when it comes to need for service and winter use. Once they are able to reduce the weight and size of these framing nailers, there is no excuse for anyone to buy gas nailers anymore.

Paslode all day vs Battery powered nailers. You might think it’s not “too heavy”, once you start using it 40 hours a week, you’ll be thanking the Paslodes for being lighter! + it’s BEST for skewing nails!

I use Paslode nailers both Framing and finish mainly because of the weight. The battery only versions are stupidly heavy. I wouldn't say that you don't have many problems with them though as in my experience of using them for many years they are generally a pain in the arse. Often in the shop for repair and always something playing up on them. on the newer ones there is a circuit board and a micro switch set up which like all things electronic is the first to go. In my experience the old ones were more reliable than the newer models. The ergonomics and the weight are the decider though. And much better than a hammer.

All those haters on paslode . Lol . Any professional framer knows there is nothing better on the market today. We run paslode guns for 2 years before replacing with new ones . If it hasn't paid for itself in that period someone needs to pick up the pace. 5 lb difference when it's on your belt all day is huge.

Finally someone that knows. We don't even own any air or battery nailers. Paslode cordless all the way.

Im a carpenter in Australia i use the paslode finish and framer and service the framer every 6000 nails otherwise it miss fires if you use it any longer then that only reason i haven't switched to battery is because they are to heavy using then on residential houses and climbing through the roof. And the reason i would move away from paslode is having to spend $25 to service every 2 boxes of nails and the fact you can buy 3-4 boxes of normal gun nails to one box of paslode nails with the gas which is $75-$80

Love your videos, very professional and informative! I am building a 30x40 x12 pole barn/shop soon i am curious if you have a video on installing the rim joists around the top of the walls?

I always really respected you for your honest reviews even when I disagreed. One thing I know for sure is that before the sponsorship you used the Hitachi and Milwaukee way more than your Paslode.

Kyle, In your defense..... I don’t agree with a lot of people criticizing you for switching to Paslode and calling you a sell out. 1. I don’t fault you for switching if you are getting good sponsorship. 2. Pretty much anytime you are recommending something you are clear that it is your personal opinion and based on your particular experience and may not be suitable for everybody else’s situation. In the same way you talk about the bracing you are using isn’t necessarily the only way or best way of doing it. 3. I am not a carpenter and have only used a Paslode a few times. I think one of the key points you wanted to make about having trouble free use with the Paslode is the importance of regular maintenance and cleaning. From reading a lot of the plus and minus comments on the Paslode I think the reality of day to day use is that a lot of people may not be keeping on top of doing that maintenance and cleaning. If someone is the owner/operator of the tool I bet the maintenance is taken care of better compared to a larger contractor who has a bunch of guys using the tool and not caring about abusing it. 4. If for some reason you decide to switch away from Paslode in the future and go back to battery only tools .......... it will be sh%# show out here with comments again 😂

Kyle if you are installing ceiling steel wouldn't that provide most of the wind tie function? I'm pretty sure it would. I discussed this with my structural engineer from my garage when I installed plywood for storage on the bottom chord in certain locations in between the fans.

I think I'll move to your area next time I need a building. Just kidding but would if I could.

Weight of the tool is an advantage when working with it (i.e. the lighter the better) however doesn't the lighter weight cause more light-strike nail settings, or, cause the operator to use more downward force to compensate for the lighter weight in order to get the nail completely seated ? Just wondering.

How many times have people said you look like prince Harry? Great job

Do you mind commenting on how you would adapt your permanent bracing with a scissor truss or on a wall with a window? Thanks!

Watch where you put free hand. Had a coworker use a paslode and was shooting back towards him like you did on the end of the building and it hit a soft spot in the wood and shot through the wood into his free hand. Hit exactly between the bone. 3 surgeries later and 5 years off work he is finally back to work. He is in pain still everyday and the whiskey helps him get through the pain in the off hours.

Having owned several passlode I know to well the maintenance expense buying fuel cells and that dam battery that doesn't seem to last. But on the other hand my Dewalt with a 5amp it is heavy . But that 5 amp goes and goes all day. You say electronics? Its drive system is mechanical and gets it drive from a motor I guess you call that "electronics!". Your video smells like a ad for Passlode... Parslode is a nice gun but into my second year with the Dewalt and I've left your highly recommended gun in the shop. You better hope a wind storm doesn't knock your building down before you get your skin on... Personally I would sheer panel every spot I could... My vote is preference and I am enjoying the Dewalt Cordless Nailer.

I love my Milwaukee nailer, and it hits way harder than the Paslodes we get down here, and its a point of difference in the company I work for, and as you said, god above it is heavy. I only have 5Ah batteries and they're a fair weight, and I tried one with a 2Ah today that the rep had, and it balances up a little bit better but still heavier than the Hikoki. This does feel like a bit of a sellout given what you've said about the older Paslode nailers, but if it pays the bills then "that's the way she goes", and if its better than the current model Paslodes, then I might look at getting one for overhead work. Yeah, they are way lighter, yeah they feel way nicer in the hand, but its still gotta be able to sink a 3.5 inch galv slick through LVL J frame. Paslode does need to step up with their nails though, I can't use the 2.5 inch ring shank flooring nails through my Milwaukee. The first hint of anything slightly too hard and it just bends the nails right in half without hardly sinking them, whereas I can sink equivalent Delfast nails no problem

As always, solid stuff! Even with the Paslode plug built in! Haven't used any of their current generation stuff but they have always been one of the best on power nailers. Question; If you were doing something like the "Cabin in the Woods", how would say a window or a man door effect that X bracing? How would you modify it to accomodate it?

Got me thinking... I wonder how much I'd need to change my mind. The total profit of 3 post frame buildings, maybe 5? It is like one of the tool-brands I try to avoid would reach out for me with an offer and a handful of gold. Would I love them right away? Could I recommend them all of a sudden? Especially the "maintenance" comment hurt real bad. Taking care of tools is one thing, repetitive maintenance in order for something to work... is another cup of tea. A different beast, to say the least.
