Bought for home use and started building a fence. I can't comment on the durability of this pistol, but I like it better than my old Campbell-Hausfeld. I've pierced it with several hundred nails and it has never failed or blocked me, although some depths were inconsistent which may be due to my inexperience with a weapon. I also like the long cartridge or whatever you call it that loads nails. Its nice feature is that you can put the nails in and then pull the spring mechanism over the nails, whereas on my old Campbell house box you had to pull the spring mechanism down, then put the nails in and release. . I prefer the way this Milwaukee gun loads. The rafter hook is a nice touch too. The only downside is that I wish it came with a case.
