Bostitch N80CB-1 Coil Framing Nailer vs Bostitch F33PT Framing Nailer

Both are Bostitch pneumatic framing nailers, but they feed different nails and suit different jobs. The N80CB-1 is a coil nailer with a 300-nail magazine, so it is the faster tool for sheathing, subflooring, roof decking and fencing where you drive a lot of nails in a row. The F33PT is a stick nailer built around paper-collated framing nails up to 3-1/2 in and metal connector nails, with a magnesium body, dry fire lockout and adjustable exhaust. Owners of both lines praise the reliable Bostitch drive; the coil gun trades capacity for bulk and wire-collated nails, while the F33PT trades capacity for lighter weight and connector-nail capability.

• Choose the Bostitch N80CB-1 if you drive long runs of wire-collated framing and sheathing nails and want a big 300-nail coil magazine with fewer reloads.
• Choose the Bostitch F33PT if you want a lighter magnesium stick nailer that handles paper-collated framing nails up to 3-1/2 in and metal connector nails, with dry fire lockout and adjustable exhaust.
