Review on Pneumatic Straight Finish Nailer With 2000 Count Nail Bundle - NuMax SFN64WN 16-Gauge 2-1/2 by Tony Pierce

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Well built quality nail gun.

I purchased this in February of 2016 and have driven a few thousand nails of various lengths. Early on I had one jam but it was easily cleared and has worked flawlessly since with the exception of this weekend. The gun was working fine and when it suddenly failed to grab the next nail in the slide. The tip that drives the nail did not recede far enough back into the drive to clear the path for the next nail. Long story short, turns out these pneumatic nailers require periodic oiling. First I've heard of that.I purchased a 4oz bottle of DeWalt Pneumatic Fastening Tool Lubricant from a local big box for about $3 and a few drops in the nozzle inlet did the trick. The last hundred or so nails have driven fine.I'll assume all these tools use the same basic kind of oil, if anyone is the wiser please post a comment.Very happy with this purchase and I highly recommend it. If you're a processional cabinet maker and tools like this are your life I'm sure there are better ones and they're worth the extra cost. But for just about anything anyone would want to do around the house, even occasional projects that are pretty intense this tool should work fine.

Pros
  • Finish Nailers
Cons
