Review on BOSTITCH Angled Finish Nailer - Powerful 15GA, 1-1/4-Inch To 2-1/2-Inch Nail Size (N62FNK2) by John Walker

Consider others in my review

I have been using nail guns for 31 years, and purchased three Bostitch nailers this year alone. All have broken down. The gun worked reasonably well, except that the head kept falling off (like my F33). I shipped it back for repair 6 weeks ago. The parts are backordered. I called Bostitch and was told repeatedly that they did not get involved with their own recommended service centers. If they don't, who does? I emailed customer service and did not get the courtesy of any response.Nails are another issue. They "dimple" pine trim to a greater extent then my other finish nailers. In nailing PVC facia trim, I use stainless steel nails. I had more difficulty getting SS nails for this gun then others I use. Additionally, the nails were exceedingly expensive and hopelessly banged up into short strips upon shipping.Their lack of reliability, lack of customer service and their notorious attempts to design unusual collating angles in order to force retailers/buyers to use only their nails produces a score of "1" from this reviewer. I haven't found a way to use a gun on a job that is at the repair shop or awaiting nails, and that's the starting point for any tool.

Pros
  • dont like the nose .. not as good as the older models
Cons
  • No safety features
