- Excellent Tool - Great Buy!
- Pro: Excellent feel and worked flawlessly during two weeks of remodeling. Great on baseboards, moldings, cabinets, etc.. This is the perfect nailer for working around the house. Got this from Amazon for less than $60 with no tax and free shipping. $90 + tax at Lowe's.
Con: The no-mar tip could be better because it made very small dents. No oil included. A bit loud.
Still 5 stars because it's a wonderful tool compared to other nailers I used before. - 2007-11-26, 3 of 3 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Loud
- Its very light and does everything right but its the loudest brad nailer Ive ever used. Its louder than my finish nailer. Use ear protection with this gun.

- Recomended! Good Nail gun!
- I got this brad nailer as a back up to my Stanley Bostitch nailer and it feels more balanced than my Bostitch.
As others have mentioned, the the gun ships in a case without oil! I don't really mind it at all because I have lots of oil lyring around. But for those who are just starting out with pneumatic nailer, you should get some oil before you start firing nails with it.
I like that fact that it has the sequential trip and the bump fire built into the gun at the flip of the switch, a feature that my Bostitch does not have. It sinks nails well and countersinks it to the right depth once adjusted properly. I use combination of Porter Cable as well as Bostitch brand brads and not had a jam or misfire yet. I have test fired it very rapidly (3-4 brads per second) in sequential fire and bump fire mode and also not jammed.
I would have given it 5 stars if not for 2 small things which I found can be improved. The depth of drive adjustment wheel is easier to turn. It's located between the magazine and the nose. Not the easiest to turn if your fingers are not dexterous. My Bostitch had the adjustment wheel located in front of the nose. Secondly, the exhaust swivels 360 with some detents. But I think the exhaust can be improved because it 's only a cheap piece of plastic held in place by a ring groove. Not very easy to adjust the exhaust unlike the bostitch which has the exhaust adjustment incoporated into the top cap.
But overall, it's a well built gun and will buy it again and will recomend to friends if the sale comes around once again. Much better than some POS that is made in cheap china factory with no QC. - 2007-11-12, 8 of 10 people found this review helpful, Rated:

- perfect for home workshop
- i just bought this nailer and i love it. it countersinks that brads just right and i tried on some oak that i have and still worked perfectly. i compared to the p/c brad nailer that i have and it feels much better than the p/c and to top it off it also has more features when this one wears out im buying another one
