Great investment for nailers and staplers

What a great investment! Like many others I bought this nailer to save money on hiring a machine and it was a great decision. The gun itself looks very well constructed, everything feels solid. It's heavy enough to keep you upright, but not so heavy that it's tiring to move. The 3/4 inch shoe did not scratch or damage the floor. I laid about 700 square meters. Feet of 3/4" thick hickory bottom and never got stuck. No problems loading spikes or slide either. I've had some misfires caused by weak

Pros
  • Anodized aluminum magazine extends tool life
Cons
  • Available in black only

Work great! And the price is right!

I used this nailer to nail down the hardware in the kitchen and next door. Compared to using a drill/hammer/nail to nail the plank, this nail works great: it's much faster and makes far fewer mistakes than my drill/hammer/nail method. So it works faster and works better. Using it to nail a plank will force the plank into close contact with the plank behind; therefore closes every gap. It also makes the result much better than usual. I have no problem using this nailer as long as I remember to…

Pros
  • Scratch resistant tiles prevent damage to floor surface
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

For me it's two in one!

I've had this nail gun for about a year now and absolutely love it. Like you I did a lot of research on different brands and decided that for $200 I should see and try this nailer. It is very similar to the Bostich brand. When it arrived, I first examined everything and at this price I was surprised at how everything screamed for quality. Paint, screws and instructions were in perfect condition. I oiled it and started laying the 3/4" t/g white oak rustic floor. I took L shaped nails and used…

Pros
  • Recent changes to the shape of the foot plus the addition of a semi-quick release for easier access to the drive blade in the event of a jammed fastener
Cons
  • Available in white only
