Review on Bostitch 15 Gauge Angled Finish Nailer Kit With DA Style For Enhanced Optimization by Scott Matute

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Test the blow off feature right away to see if you need to return it during the 30 day return window

If you get one of these, repeatedly exercise the blow off feature several times right away and during the first week to see if the O-ring was damaged on the assembly line!From what I read, the blow off O-rings were getting damaged in the making of these nail guns, it was discovered and the process fixed but many were made before they became aware. Apparently Bostitch didn't bring back all the likely defective ones to fix them. I ordered from Walmart in July 2013 thinking I would get one made after the fix. But no.At the repair center, he showed me the stamp on the gun that showed it was made in 2012. Had I used the gun in the first 30 days, I could have sent it back to Walmart for another, I think for free. But the project was delayed. Now it's been at the warranty repair center for 2 weeks and counting.I think it will be a great gun, when I get to use it. A definite strike against Bostitch quality control and another against whoever decided not to recall those that went out with this problem. I suspect you will know within 5 minutes of occasionally pushing the blow off feature button if you have this problem or not.

Pros
  • LED work-light for working in closets and dark spaces
Cons
  • Not suitable for use in tight or confined spaces due to its size and shape

My new nailer had an air leak after using the sawdust blower. Removed the button valve and found the "o" ring blown into the exhaust port and was cut by the sharp edges. deburred the edges and installed and new 005 Viton o -ring which is a harder type material "o" ring. Also, replaced the yellow LED bulb with a white LED light bulb, now every things clearer. After getting the kinks out , this is the best nailer ever.
