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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I couldn't be happier with these NuMax products.

I could not be happier with these NuMax guns. I have the 18 gauge I bought to finish a project, it has worked wonderfully for years. I bought this to do another project, based on the success with the 18. I am just a home owner DIYer, so I have not sent 10,000 nails through it. I have used it on two projects, and it has worked flawlessly. I did experience a 5 minute learning curve loading the nails. I expected the magazine to open like the 18, it does not. There is a little slot in the back the nail sets fit into. I think my only complaint has been the oil in the air inlet. When I disconnect the air line, it splatters out with a loud whoosh of air. The whole handle is hollow, and holds air and a couple drops of oil. So just something to consider when disconnecting the thing from the air supply in the house. For as cheap as it is, I'm not taking a star for being careful disconnecting it.

Pros
  • trim work but the safety makes it hard to do angle shots without pulling out the ole nail punch
Cons
  • Loud enough to potentially cause hearing damage over time
