Good Nailers - Pinners

Update: 2 months after purchase. I've narrowed down all nail related problems and since then I haven't had many problems with nail stands misfiring or breaking. When loading nails you must be very careful to push the nails towards the bottom of the magazine so that the nail guide runs properly over the top of the nails and holds them in place. The battery also lasts a long time. With occasional use, the battery lasts for several days. improve my rating. Previous Review: I've wanted a cordless micro pin nailer to complete my cordless nailer kit for a long time. I've been waiting for Dewalt but they still don't make cordless nail guns. So I decided to go with it. I use a large 3Ah battery. Battery life is great, lots of shots on one charge like clockwork. The gun gains momentum and fires fairly quickly, much faster than larger nailers or trimmers. He's also pretty calm. The convenience of not having to lug around an air hose or compressor is great. I've used it to shoot African Mahogany finish which isn't the hardest wood but I've had no problems shooting. I've only had a few nail jams caused by long nails. This job involves gluing drywall to a concrete block, whatever. The gun appears to fire normally, but fires blanks. Also shoots normally when you run out of nails. not advance properly. It's also with signature nails. It doesn't happen often. But if you run out of nails and want to add another post, having two sections in your gun can cause the same problem. I've heard that cheap nails bend more. They recommend only using branded nails (freight to port = cheaper/softer metal). = more joints with nails). I would buy this gun again and am mostly satisfied. 4/5 stars.
