I recently bought a Freeman PP123 23 gauge pin. I wanted to spend a lot more on a well known brand just to see what the hype was about .23 gauge pens. Since I have several 18-15 gauge nailers from Bostitch, Campbell Hausfeld, Makita, Milwaukee, Black & Decker, Porter Cable and Senco, I would like to buy one of these manufacturers who make 23 gauge nailers. Freeman caught my attention because of the price and because they advertise a 7 year warranty, so I went ahead and bought a Freeman. The packaging was great and consisted of a fully assembled pen with an air coupler already installed on the block with a dust cap. The kit also included a bottle of oil, belt hook, safety goggles, 3 Allen keys for servicing the unit and a very well written instruction manual and warranty card. I bought some 23 gauge Bostitch pins and they fit the Freeman pinner perfectly. I only used about 30 pins as a test, but I have to say I'm very impressed with the Freeman Pinner. He is well built and handles the pins well. A couple of annoyances with the Pinner is the safety switch under the trigger where you have to twist to fire the pin, but once it's out of the way you can fire as many pins as you want, even if you get stuck you have to use the Allen key and loosen the 2 screws to remove the nose plate to free the stuck pins (hasn't happened to me yet). You should also install the size pins you use in the store, but it's not too much of a problem, especially since some pins cost twice as much to have this feature. One more thing, the Freeman doesn't have a scratch-resistant tip, so don't put too much pressure on the shaft you're using or it will leave marks, but if you don't pressure it's unlikely to ruin the finish (depending on how hard the share is) . I'd like to put something on top so I can apply some pressure, but I'm not sure what yet. Overall this is a very good pinner for the price that exceeded my expectations for the price and I would recommend it.
