As a homeowner and not a contractor, I can not comment on the durabiliy of this nailer, or how many mis-fires I had every thousand nails. I had some finish work I was doing when I ordered this item and it worked flawless. It is light and good quality, I was nailing 2" brads into Oak and it was excellent. For the do it yourselfer, this is a great product at a reasonable price.
You can't go wrong!:
Bang for your buck, this thing is awesome! Nice features and controls, a full 2" capacity and very light weight. I particularly like the no tool jamb clearing (although I have yet to have a jam with Senco and Porter Cable brads), no trigger change to go from bump fire to sequential fire mode, 360 degree movable exhaust port and quick depth of drive changes. It even comes with a air hose fitting! At this price, I wish I had purchase one a long time ago!
Hitachi Nails It!:
I bought this nailer to replace my 16 gauge Campbell-Hausfield nailer (I used it for trim, and 18 gauge works just as well but leaves smaller holes). Well, I got a deal on the aforementioned nailer, and it served it's purpose well...this being said, am I glad I bought this new Hitachi nailer! It is about 4 times as light, and works like a champ. It is super easy to load (but don't read the instructions, they advised upside down loading?!), just load it the way that makes sense. Adjusting the nail depth... more info
