Pros
APPLICATIONS: Ideal for installing shingles and insulation board
Holds around 3rd or 4th nail all the time. I also use her nails, this tool is garbage. DO NOT BUY. If it's nails it's ok, but then jam, so it's a bad tool. Takes too long, have to open the nail feeder, clear the jam and hope he drives some nails, b4 upcoming jam.
Pros
EASY FIXING INSTALLATION: Side loading magazine, convenient and easy for quick refills
I installed a new roof for my house and this thing worked PERFECTLY. I really liked the open design of this thing. Anything that has functional value is out in the open, and the reason for that is that you can easily lubricate moving parts, which in air tools is important not only for reliability but also for durability. This thing is built to last a lifetime if you take care of it.
Pros
DEPTH ADJUST: tool-free adjustment of driving depth, for precise nailing/flush driving
