The gun is handy, and when it works, it's a great tool to have. However, I own 2 of these and both have been sent off under warranty to be repaired MANY times. One was just sent off last week.. a few months prior it stopped firing, I sent it off and they installed 'new upgraded parts to fix a known problem'. Well, it obviously didn't fix the problem, as the gun doesn't fire again -- nothing is jammed, it just makes this tiny/short/quiet "squeak" sound, just as it did the time before that. $250 to repair it since their "upgrades" didnt change or extend the original warranty. 7 days later, other one did the same exact thing. The newer of the two was sent off to get fixed within the first week of buying it also. That one is at least under warranty still, but I'm DONE with Senco products. Time to try the Dewalt I suppose. Senco doesn’t stand behind their products.

Forbes Sat, 02 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000 http://cordlessfinishnailer.net/senco-cordless-41-15-gauge-angled-finish-nailer/#comment-86 great value<br>Rating:5 out of 5 stars<br>I am glad that I relied on a positive review of this tool in a woodworking magazine before I purchased this, my first nailer. I wanted to make sure that I got a quality product, and I couldn't believe the reasonable price! I also went to the Senco website to check out the specs. The fact that it is cordless is essential because I will be nailing tongue and groove on a 26' vaulted ceiling. I have practiced with the nailer on some furniture that I built and am very satisfied. It has a lot of power and has no problem sinking nails. There is a slight delay between nails, but that is not important for the job that I'll be doing. <br />I just ordered another one today so two of us can work at that same time! fantastic value

The new series carries a two year warranty and has twice the speed of the first gen. Dewalt, I believe makes a suppior product, but the price points in the direction of the Senco. Fantastic end nailer for the price.

Thinking of all Senco products I've had in the past which were GOOD quality, I figured it would be handy to have this cordless nailer, so I wasn't dragging air hose all over the place. However, this tool is nothing but BAD. To put it as concisely as possible, it's was made in China junk. It would periodically fire a nail, but you could have a cup of coffee in between each nail shot. The battery had very little life even after being fully charged...so you were continually charging the battery...yup, more coffee while waiting. It had this crazy little red light and a little green light that would blink and tell you when you could or couldn't fire the gun. <br /> <br />I returned the gun and by the way, Amazon and the supplier were great about the return. No hassles and a very prompt refund. No complaints there. I did go out and buy an air gun after returning this one and it fires fine. I was able to buy the gun, compressor and hose for the same price I paid for the cordless nailer. Not as convenient but much more reliable. Sorry to say, but no more Senco products for me. Senco Quality is a thing of the past
