I needed a 1.25" nail gun to attach about 40 sheets of 0.25" backing paper. My first impulse was to rent, but the cost of buying this pistol was less than the cost of renting it for the time it took me. It was a lot cheaper than the other options, and since it would likely be delayed for a while after this work, I didn't want to spend more than I had to. The gun worked perfectly. and not a single jam or crack out of over 14,000 nails. Impressive. Easy to load and shoot as fast as you want. To be honest, I expected to have to fiddle with it and use it as a disposable tool for this job, but it's probably the best nail gun I've ever used. Lubricate it with oil before each use and it will get the job done. If I ever need another nail gun I will look here first.
