Review on Lightweight And Ergonomic Pneumatic Brad Nailer - NuMax SBR50 - Reload Indicator And 18-Gauge 2" Straight Brad Gun For Trim, Moulding, Baseboard, Doors, And Handrails by Joe Nieves

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Superb product and exceptional value!

THis product is lightweight, well balanced, and has a soft rubber grip. There are a lot of finishing nail guns in the $20-50 range, after a lot of searching around I opted for this one. I have owned a few other brands some costing more and some less.generally after thousands of nails some problems would arise. this is normal wear and tear and its easier to purchase a new and reliable gun over rebuilding the many seals and pistons in the gun.My first option was to purchase a rebuilt Bostitch or similar high dollar gun - I decided against that seeing how many of the guns took beatings under the abuse of contractors.Next I ruled out Chicago because the body seemed flimsy and prone to leaks at the main valve seal.Previously owning a Central Pneumatic unit (which comes with a case for the same price) the only reason I didnt buy another is the saftey is bulky and prone to getting bent out of shape. The gun then doesnt fire as easily, and you have to make sure the tip is pressed AND the safety is satisfied.This gun has good reviews all around, solid construction, and it shoots Brad nails upto 2" (all the way down to 1/2"). No case included and I would replace the air inlet adapter with quality one. Oil frequently.

Pros
  • Although inexpensive, it worked well in my firast project.
Cons
  • Short lifespan
