Yeah they are the muts nuts mate but just can't seem to get hold of the cogs. You have to buy the full nose piece hope they have sorted this problem and yours is a good one. I have had mine at least three year and got them from us

Holding board up with your head and telling your mate, " right get one in." I can still hear the sound and rythm of the hammers.

I knew a tacker (who has since retired) well he had a bald patch on his head from resting boards on his head, he also had a lump on his knee from breaking boards with his knee, not sure why he used his knee but he used to get it drained every now and then.

I use my knee also. Boarding was faster with nailing than screws in my opinion.

Paslode Im200 converted to fire protection nails, it fires 2-3 nails a second, twisted ones(just like me) but I think they not up to regs anymore.

Mines the sd5000 with the collated attachment. There are newer models out now I guess but mines been brilliant and even bought an impact driver too as they share the same batteries that seem to last forever

Thanks ..one last question will other screws go in it or is it only hilti screws?
 
That Sdm1 is only available in the US I think and doesn't use normal collated screws.

That's correct . They are planing to bring it to uk in the spring, when introducing the new stock list. It's smaller, you will have better control over the screws and in general,but I think it will be more expensive and hilti have come up with solution to use only their own screws. With the current model you can use any and can find some as cheap as £3 for 1000.
