So the specification and bid process goes on...

I would like to have Porter Cable Nailers, but that has to win the lowest price in a bid process... and that's not going to happen. My second alternative is Grainger. The state has a "deal" with Grainger that allows me to just buy anything they sell without going through the bid process. However Grainger doesn't carry Porter Cable nailers they sell Bostitch. I don't know what to think of that. I love my Porter Cable gear at home. What is your opinion of Bostitch nailers? Does anybody own them?

The alternative is to play roulette with specifications... in which case I could lose and end up with Ryobi or Kobalt.
