High quality, reliable tool

I bought a cheaper nailer and it immediately jammed in the middle of my finishing project. I held the sheathing with glue and it got stuck. Frustration doesn't do justice to the experience. So I sent it back and ordered this one. Reliable from the start. Perfect detail of every trigger pull. I should have gotten this on my very first order. Don't waste your time with cheaper versions. It's a bit more expensive but worth it. Avoid disappointment and get it!

Pros
  • Light and strong aluminum body
Cons
  • Very expensive

Have used it several times and it works like a champ.

Bought this to add trim in my paneled basement. It worked well for that. I have it just used to build a doll bed for my granddaughter's american girl doll.worked great especially for holding glued pieces together while drying.the only issue i would like to point out is that you shouldn't use either of these if you try to match mismatched edges.

Pros
  • 1/2" to 1 3/16", 23" Nailers, Flat Nose Cones for Clear Deck
Cons
  • Crumpled Package

Perfect for DIY

After reading too many reviews on this gun AND being more expensive. I figured it would be ok for the limited use I carry out. So far it has worked flawlessly for me. With the right pressure, it sinks easily. My only complaint is that since this gun doesn't have a scratch-resistant tip, you have to be very careful with softwood. Once you get used to the slight pressure, you're safe. And based on what others have said BE CAREFUL WITH THIS GUN. Security can hardly be called security. It's very…

Pros
  • Adjustable high/low power switch for depth control and longer life
Cons
  • Not sure
