This nailer works well. However, it will get you a job because it's a heavy sob. You need to be careful when loading the nail sticks to make sure the head overlaps properly with the previous stick or you will end up with a joint. Another thing he struggles with is ring shank nails. tries hard not to lead them to the end and not to bow their heads. but apart from these shortcomings, I could not imagine life without him. the nice thing is that you don't have to lay a hose for every job.
