I am very satisfied with this finishing nailer. It seems well built, it really looks like the air outlet comes out of the back of the handle, no more air or dust from the floor blowing into your face. The smart point is a nice feature, plus you can see exactly where you're putting the nail and I love how the gripping tip works so you don't have to press on it. You simply place the point where you want to drive the nail and shoot. Also, the hook tip keeps the actual tip about 1/8 inch away from your work so you don't leave marks or scratch the surface. I chose the DA style because 35 degree nails are more accessible and I like a rounder head better. FN nails are T-shaped and only available from Bostich. I haven't used the fan yet, but it blows air out at the front when you press the button. It also has a pin gauge which comes in handy when making simple shapes. It has a nice case but needs space to store longer nail clips. It would also be nice if the gun was made in the USA.
