This product is amazing! spike nails. The only issue I had was with the magazine, whether it was fully or half engaged, the funnel spring would disengage and retract into the bottom of the hub. This happened about ten times after hitting the trigger cover and activating the recoil. This minor issue did not affect my prospects or the overall performance of the product. I rented an 18 gauge Powernail pneumatic hardwood nailer before I bought it and I 100% prefer the Freeman 16/18 gauge nailer. The powernail would often go off, not sit properly on the tongue, scratch the floor, and repeatedly blow the hose out of the port I was pounding the boards with.
