Cost comparison of various PAF methods
*Posted on behalf of a Hilti customer:
Is there a cost comparison of powder vs. gas vs. battery considering fastener + driving tool(s)?

Hi Customer,
thank you for your question. The cost will be job/application specific as there are many aspects to consider. Different tools have different efficiency (single shot vs. collated) and some fasteners can be used in either a gas or battery tool. So there is no direct price comparison between each of the system. In terms of material cost only, the energy source (powder charge) for a powder system is more expensive than the gas system, which is in turn more expensive than the battery system. Please feel free to reach out any time, if you need additional information.
All the best
