 fantastic tool Even though I have a slew of Porter-Cable tools, this was my first purchase of an air tool. I could not be happier with this item. I read the instruction book, followed the suggestions in it and have enjoyed a trouble free month. I put around 1000 pins through the nailer and did not experience any trouble at all. The entrance hole is virtually invisible compared to a brad. I would recommend this tool to anybody.  Nice Nailer Be careful when pressing the tip against the wood. It will marr softer woods. The nailer seats the pins properly and is jam free.  Not Pofessional Grade We are a professional cabinet shop. (Plumbridge Custom Cabinets in Duarte, Ca) We have 2 of these guns. Using 23 guage pins saves a ton of work installing prefinished trim!! This gun works fine at first -until you loose a rack of 1/2 pins inside the magazine. 30 minutes later, you have the magazine dis-assembled (not made to be easy to do), and the nails out. You see, you have to move a slide on the magazine to the correct position for each nail length you use. Slide it for a moment the wrong way, and poof! your little 1/2 nails fall deep into the magazine and you have to tear it down again. Then I bought a Grex P630- a few dollars more, but the difference is so obvious. It's completely impossible to jamb the magazine- the design and construction of this entire gun is flawless. We have never had a single problem with Grex guns in over a year of almost daily use. If you need a pin nailer for hobby use, the cheaper porter cable is fine I suppose. But if you make a living with your tools, I suggest you let loose the extra few bucks for a Grex- you will not regret it. Great Gun A great gun that produces a very, very small hole with a consistent shot. I have not have a jam yet..Good one PC! | |||||||||
