A bit heavy but can drive in 3 inch nails with ease! I've driven over 1500 nails with this nailer and it hasn't given me a single problem. Just don't be stupid and don't try to drive the nail in at a dangerous angle, especially if you don't know if there's a knot or other obstacle in the nail's path! --------- ----- -------- ---------------------------- ---------- ----------- -------- ------------Update 09/23/2017: Buy this nailer not without a protection plan and especially if the product is manufactured by Prime Global Products, Inc. .! The plastic trigger piston holding several different o-rings broke shortly after my initial inspection. What made me lower this rating to 1 was the fact that the product was still under warranty. When I contacted the benefits organization they were accommodating but handled the whole situation very poorly. Instead of passing the information along to the local authorized repair company, they first sent what they sent me, the part they thought was damaged (the black thing)! If I contact them - having made it very clear that the part I was talking about (white piston with o-rings) is what I need! They replied that they sent the wrong spare part just in case, but the necessary one is already on its way. He never showed up! When I contacted them to ask them to send them a nailer for repair, they replied that I could send it back to them at my own expense, which was somewhere in the $40-$80 region! Keep in mind I didn't pay much more for the nailer when I bought it. Buyer Warning!
