Best nailer for the price

Looked at various other models before finally coming across Numax. All the other name brands cost at least 3 times the cost of this. I figured i'll give it a shot and see how it goes. After all if it doesn't work I can always return it with ebay! I'm a novice when it comes to nailers. This was my first ever nailer, so the learning curve was a little steep (dont laugh!). After reading the manual I bought the correct brad nails from the local store and after a little struggle figured out how to put them in. Now for anyone who has used a nailer before this is second nature I'm sure. Now that I know where and how the nails go in its a breeze to load it. I had to install some base boards so I was using 2" nails on Pine wood. The nailer worked flawlessly. I dont know why other manufactures ask for such a high price when you can build it for a lot cheaper.Pro's: Excellent excellent price. Well built. Easy to use. Did not jam yet. I have driven around 50-100 nails now. The red line in the cartridge shows you when it needs more nails. I used 90 PSI and it had no problems driving the 2" nails through my Pine wood baseboard flush. No tears on the face of the BB either.Cons: I dont think it has a safety lock. Doesnt have an adjustable depth control but they say it can be adjusted with the air pressure. Never tried it so cant comment on it. For my application 90 PSI worked great.I dont know why anyone else would go spend 200+ to buy a nailer that does the exact same thing. I'm sold on this product so i purchased another nailer to do some crown molding work. You just cant beat the price. I dont know if it withstands the work load of a professional contractor but for any DIY guy this is more than you need.

Pros
  • 18-gauge capacity for a wide range of trim and moulding applications
Cons
  • Looks outdated
