Review on Pneumatic Straight Finish Nailer With 2000 Count Nail Bundle - NuMax SFN64WN 16-Gauge 2-1/2 by Donald Blanco

Revainrating 5 out of 5

good tool, great price

I'm no expert with nailers. I just finished a lean-to/shed, using a mix of nails for framing and roofing. I couldn't be bothered with renting a roofing nailer for this small yard job, so I even used it to attach the shingles, adjusting it (very easily) so that the nails drove exactly flush with the shingle surface, and using a large excess of nails. We'll see whether they stay on in the next hurricane! It performed flawlessly throughout. (I set my air at 90 psi.) The soft tip does fall off too easily (the tool should come with a dozen of them). But for the price, this tool is superb. I will likely use it for attaching cabinet and similar face frames as well when fall comes around and I get back in the woodshop.PS. Many moons later. The lean-to roof (both ply and shingles) is still solidly on, through several storms of at least 70 mph, though not a real hours-on-end hurricane: haven't had one on Long Island since I put it up. In the meantime I've used it for cabinet work in 3/4" ply (with glue) and for attaching face frames: a lot quicker than screws, very solid, and easy to invisibly fill the holes.

Pros
  • It has a durable driver blade that provides consistent driving power for high-quality results
Cons
  • Can be frustrating to reload nails when in the middle of a project
