Review on πŸ”§ Grex GSB18-12 Stainless Steel Power Tools by William Dean

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poor quality, good for fasteners

Bought 1 1/2 inch stainless steel nails because I was doing a mahogany project on the outside. I first bought a new Hitachi 18 ga nail gun that fits 1 1/2" nails. My old Bostitch was limited to 1 1/4". When I started using stainless steel nails, I noticed that the nailer was cutting the nails severely jammed and bent. At first I thought it was a new Hitachi nailer or the air was misadjusted. I keep adjusting the air and the nailer with no success. The nailer continued to stick after two or three uses. I then had no problems upgraded to 1 1/4" Bostitch nails. Nice to know everything is fine with my new Hitachi nailer. Grex stainless steel pins just didn't work with my Hitachi nailer.

Pros
  • Glued fasteners
Cons
  • Small parts
