Review on BOSTITCH FN1664K 16-Gauge Straight Finish Nail Gun by Junee Mauck

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Sturdy Consistent Nailer

I got this nail gun together with the 18 Ga nail gun for an exterior trim project. This gun has the sturdier gauge nails, but I was not as impressed with the convenience of the loading mechanism. Additionally when it got down to about 5 nails it would no longer shoot as the spring mechanism that pressed the nails forward (think like a desk stapler) would slightly tilt the nails. It didn't jamb, but you would have to load additional nails to keep going. Both products have their place and this is still an excellent quality nail gun, I would recommend it for exterior trim work or heavier interior work.

Pros
  • ‎Power Finish Nailers, Pneumatics, Finish Nailers
Cons
  • Jams frequently
