Fantastic Product
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
First experience with an air nailer. I was not disappointed. I’ll have to use it on more projects to really evalute it but so far fantastic.

Fantastic Finishing Nailer
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Use for light weight construction and finishing. I used it to place up a small fence and light-weight gate as soon as I got it. The nails are common and a wide variety are easily found at Home Depot or Lowes. This nailer is very comfortable and simple on the hands. The case is your typical hard plastic, and is perfect for storage. The only thing that might have made it a small nicer is if they had designed the case with nail storage instead of wasting it all on dead space.
But I have no complaints, this is a fantastic product.

Fantastic Nailer

High quality and very comfortable to use. I’ve shot hundreds of nails through this gun with no jams. Buy this nailer, you’ll be very pleased with it.

fantastic nailer, but pricey
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Pros:
-exhaust can be rotated (air in the face is annoying and perilous)
-button to spray air (very handy for bleeding compressors at the end of the day)
-fantastic weight and balance, extremely comfortable
-jam clearing mechanism is super simple to use (haven’t had a jam yet though)
-very consistent depth of drive
-comes with air fitting pre-installed (no need to buy)
Cons:
-don’t like the tip style as much as my other nailers
-no lockout mechanism to prevent dry fire
It’s worked well for me on furniture projects, and I don’t have any major complaints. It’s a fantastic nailer (maybe even the cadillac), but I probably wouldn’t recommend it to any of my amateur woodworker friends, because they can get something else to do the job at a fraction of the cost (lots of excellent nailers on the market right now).
Five stars for quality and design, but only three stars for value. In the end, it’s still a five star tool.

The best finisher I have ever owned
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Lightweight and I haven’t had a jam in over 3 cases of nails hanging beaded pine ceiling. I read a review when I bought the gun that said “The gun feels like an extension of your hand.” They were right.The air blowing feature seems a bit pointless, but it doesn’t affect anything.

Works for me
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The spray button is a nice touch. A solid gun, although hideous, and the grip and trigger are nice. No jambs to report. I really shot 18ga nails in a pinch out of this gun (not recommended!) but it shot them two at a time for a while and still didn’t jamb! Why they made it look like an alien respiratory system, I don’t know, but form over function here, it’s really not a beauty contest. The only (minor) complaint I have is that the large round head/tip is not perfectly tailored to small 2 5/8 crown moulding. It is still possible to get it where you want it to sink the nail well, but if you don’t use the tip right you may have to set 1 out of 20 with a nailset which is fine if you keep it in your belt. I do reckon the tip is fantastic and sturdy in all other situations. Maybe I should just use 2″ brads for that mould.

My best nailer
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have used this gun now to do quite a bit of siding, using wood siding and fiber cement trim. I have fired small end nails and longer 2 1/2 inch nails (capacity). It has never, never jammed and never failed to fire if I remembered to turn on the compressor and to load in nails! There have been times that I drove a longer nail from one corner trim piece of fiber cement 1 X 6 into another and it didn’t sink all the way, but it was silly of me not to change to shorter nails, so I don’t blame the poor gun!
It’s pretty, so you’ll be tempted to treat it gently, but that isn’t needed… it’s a toughy!

Feels like part of your arm
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is the most comfortable gun I own. So far I’ve used a small more than half a box of nails, no jams or double shots. I really used it for deck work yesterday. I had no framing nails, but I wanted to replace the top of all the railing on my deck. Well the best I had was 2.5″ galvanized for this gun, so I used them to tack up the new planks. I expected some nails to sit high, but nothing. The gun shot through all the treated lumber like butter.
Hopefully I can find some framing nails this week. While the 16g tacked it down just fine, they’re not a solution.
Oh yeah, when you really use it for its intended purpose such as moulding and other trim, nothing beats it.

Not worth the money
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I brought this nailer a month ago and I used it on a few remodel jobs. It wasn’t what I expected. The depth gauge wasn’t setting the nails deep enough, so I tried to adjust it and the adjusting nob barely spun. I oiled the nob up and I still got nothing. I couldn’t take pliers to it because it was made of plactic which would brake or strip. I even turned the pressure up on my compressor to 110 psi and the nail head was still exposed.

This gun works well as a replacement for my ancient 16 gauge Hitachi gun, which is 10 years ancient and still works but jams too often .This version has a quick release so jams are simpler to clear now hope it lasts as long.
