I'm searching for a versatile M18 nail gun that can handle various projects, including simple framing, building fences, and installing Hardie board siding. Is there a single nail gun that can effectively manage all of these tasks?

Framing guns come in different types! A 30° nailer is quite popular for general use, and you won’t have to deal with all the plastic waste from 21° nails—these are paper collated. For finer work like trim, you should opt for a finish or brad nailer. If you want versatility, consider having one of each type of nailer for different tasks!
If you’re looking for something to tackle all those jobs, I’d suggest considering a 30° degree framing nailer. It works great for fencing and framing project. However, be aware that some users report durability issues, so be sure to look for a model with solid reviews. Also, for Hardie board siding, a roofing nailer can work but it's best to double-check compatibility.
It really depends on what size nails you plan to use for your projects. For a general purpose, a framing nailer is a solid option that can cover most of your needs. Just keep in mind that quality can vary, and there are better brands than others. If you're looking for reliability, it might be worth checking out customer reviews before purchasing.
