High performance on nailers and staplers

I'm a hobby repairman so I'm definitely not as picky about my tools as a pro. I have a pancake compressor that is set at 120psi and I lubricate the tool every day that I use it. I've been through probably 6000 nails with this beast without any problems not caused by me. I've never had even one jam. If there is a complaint about the tool, it is the plastic rafter hook, which seems to break fairly easily. The metal link bracket is great for installing joist hangers. Tips and nails can be changed…

Pros
  • Tools and household items
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks

I didn't notice it the first time, and he kept firing anyway, driving the second nail into the nail that was stuck in the nose and breaking the…

Pros
  • Nailer and Stapler
Cons
  • Available in White Only

Good product terrible customer service problem solved

I would have given it a higher rating if it wasn't for Bostich's poor customer service. My F21PL frame nailer arrived with fast shipping but the 'guide rod' is missing.

I tried a few options, but each one dropped the connection. I spoke to one person and was told they could not help me because they are not affiliated with Bostitch other…

Pros
  • power tools and hand tools
Cons
  • doubt
