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

Revainrating 2 out of 5

the new model62 good for me

First off I'm a finish carpenter and use one every day. I gave the older series 62 5 stars but the newer model stinks! One of mine went down and had to get a backup locally. The newer model has lots of frills that I don't need or want! Worst of all you can't nail into an inside corner of base or crown and set the nail. The new nosepiece design only allows nails to be set with the trip held square to the work piece. It's made now to draw homeowners instead of craftsmen? Big mistake on Bostitch's part? They had and excelllent tool and screwed it up! I'm thinking of shopping for older series used for my next backup!

Pros
  • Item met expectation and received in a timely manner. Thank you.
Cons
  • High maintenance costs
