Review on 🔧 SFL618 Lightweight Pneumatic Ergonomic with Replaceable Components by Eugene Cox

First I am a former construction worker and now a car service owner. I've made about 3,000 square feet of 2" spikes and grooves in my life. Up to 500-600 that I routed with this nailer I used a hand nailer. I bought this as my second nailer after the Powernail Air. Hammer assembly loaned to me by another builder. So far I have shot 3500-4000 NORGE and POWER NAIL spikes with both nailers. So far no problems with any brand Excellent performance. It's easier to load spikes and they're easier to spot when they're low.3. No turn-on trigger, Powernail requires tuning, then pushing, then swaying.4. It's faster because it's lighter and higher.5. It takes very little to light the spikes. I had to remind the wizards to use 3-4 pound hammers to tighten the boards. It can be moved 1-2 moves closer to the wall above the Power Nail.7. It will never scratch the floor we make prefabricated and all the nylon underneath. - negatives.1. It's lighter, so you'll want to make sure your boards are tighter before you head home. The weight of the power nail holds the boards better. It's easier to get lazy with it, and long seams aren't as tight. I am very picky.2. The bottom plate has a larger footprint, so in some cases the nailer can't hit the corners either. The power nail is smaller so it can fit in a 45ft corner where 2 different directions converge.3. It seems cheaper than the Powernail.4 device. It is more sensitive to air pressure and driving force related to blade breakage. If I made a living from hardwood floors, I would have 1 hardwood floor and 1 premium unit in total. If I were a homeowner doing ongoing work I would use this nailer. With Prefinish you have to be careful to keep the joints tight and the power nail tightens them with the extra weight. But at 500-600 you are crazy to own a professional unit for 1-2 jobs.
