Vivitron  from Central Texas, USA has this to say:
 
I am an "advanced" amateur, basically building my last three houses (along with lots of other stuff). This thing is probably my most favorite tool, and very versatile for framing and trim work. The straight galvanized nails are quite cheap and easy to find, with every brand I have tried working just fine. The available lengths cover a wide variety of applications. Will probably shoot 500 or more nails on a single charge. Easy depth adjustment and sinks the longest nails easily into tough pressure treated wood. Have not had any problems getting into tight places (supposedly the angled version would be better for tight spots, but I have never needed it, and I use this thing a lot). Solid construction, I don't baby this thing (of course I don't abuse it either). Hangs from its belt loop well.”
