Any Opinions on Ridgid Nailers?

[Golden Gopher]

There is a new $50 rebate on Ridgid Framing and Roofing nailers plus the Ridgid oil-free compressor at Home Depot. What has been the experience with the new line of Ridgid nailers? I use Hitachi for the finishing nailers and i'm satisfied with them. I'm ready for a framing nailer and that rebate looks good to me. Any opinions?

I have the Ridgid R350CHA and have used it a fair bit for DIY. I helped frame a house in the winter and while 2 of the other guns had to go inside and warm up because the were freezing and started leaking air mine went all day. I have framed with hemlock and joined pressure laminated support beams together. The gun has lots of power, a very easy to use depth adjuster and switches between bump fire and sequential (all without tools)
It also has a no mar tip that is nice for fencing or other work that requires a bit of finesse

It sounds like you're satisfied. I appreciate your feedback.
