Great nailer, worth the price

What a great nailer! I've been a carpenter for 13 years now and can't believe I didn't purchase one of these puppies sooner. I was a little skeptical about how well an electric nailer would work, but I had the job of installing moldings in a house that people live in. I didn't want to lug the compressor around and risk damaging something by snagging on the hose. Also, the owner of the home worked from home several days a week, and I wanted to be as quiet as possible so as not to interrupt his business calls. This unit works as well as any of the pneumatic nailers I've used, doesn't squirt air oil (obviously) and has never failed. And still no! Batteries last a very, very long time. I charged them overnight but they never ran out of power even halfway through a 10 hour work day. As an added bonus, they'll work in my drills too, so that's always a good thing. The current picture shows a cloth pouch, but mine came with a nice hard case that could hold a couple packs of nails. Not sure what happened to it. The only complaint I have, and it's not really a complaint, is that this device uses angled nails, which are a little harder to find. I've never had trouble finding them at local hardware stores, but the selection is ten times smaller than straight nails. I suppose this can be a problem if you need special nails.

Pros
  • Nailer & Stapler
Cons
  • Not Safe
