Typical Paslode design, developed for professionals and has stood the test of time. The solid construction makes the Nail Puller a little heavier than the Bostitch, but your forearms still need a workout and it's built to last. Huge time saver for joist hangers or other metal connectors. Works great, never bounces if used properly - get comfortable with this, don't move too fast and as another reviewer said make sure you put a little elbow in your place. It definitely drives the nail to where you put your head, so as long as you're in the hole and holding the nailer "resolutely," you'll be fine. The magazine holds two full strips of nails. Very easy to reload. For those unfamiliar, you must use the special Teco strips for this nailer designed for fixed position nailers. Definitely recommend Paslode brand PPMC nails, they seem to work best but plan ahead as they can be hard to come by. Don't try to use regular frame strips, they won't work.
