When my Hitachi metal connector nailer broke down again, I found that Bostitch had added MCN-250. I actually thought they missed the market when they came out with the MCN150. There comment was "most" of the need for nailing off hangers and clips is for the 1-1/2" nails. I don't think so. I live in snow load and earthquake country, and much more than half of the metal connector nails I shoot are 2-1/2". So anyway, it's about time. The Bostitch costs less, is American made (Isn't it??)and replacement parts cost 1/3 of the Hitachi parts. I've used the Hitachi for years, and it's been good. It broke a few times, but it's been used through about 10 houses. I have a Bostitch framing nailer that has the metal connector tip, but you have to special order the plastic collated nails. That requires planning ahead. Also, the framing nailer is larger, not fitting inbetween the joist bays as well as the MCN250. The Bostitch MCN250 is smaller than the Hitachi, has a rafter hook, and replacement parts cost less. I'm sold.
