I bought this nailer because my old (20+ year old) senco brad nailer broke down for no apparent reason and I needed the nailer asap. I have many Senco nailers and they are all durable and work well. This nailer is bigger than my old one but otherwise works very well. The pivoting air fitting is a nice touch and the depth adjustment works well and easily. it's also quieter than most. If you're interested in going oil-free, I have two other Senco oil-free pistols, both over 15 years old and still running consistently. There are many other features that make this nailer the best I've seen. it is worth every penny of its cost. As for my old nailer that broke down, I took it apart, blew it with air and put it back together over a weekend and it worked great. was absolutely clean inside so there must have been a small jam somewhere which has been cleared so who knows maybe it will last another 20 years even though it is an oiler. I love him because he is really small.
