Best Nailer you'll find in this price range

My dad acutally has this same nailer and I’ve used it once to build some closet shelving with great results. I’ll be buying one this weekend for use on some around the house projects. Glad to hear you like it too.

Don’t know if it is the same model, but I’ve been using a Bostitch Brad Nailer for about 4 years now and I too have had good luck with it. No jams, ever. I can’t say that mine always drives the brad to the required depth but it’s in the high 90’s percent. Overall, I’ve been pleased also. Would I buy it again? Maybe. I’d have to look at my options at the time.

TWW,
I too bought this one about 4 years ago and have had great results. Never a jam or misfire. Only downside, (rather insignificant) is the protective rubber tip is too easy to knock off. Thankfully it is bright orange and easy to spot on the sawdust covered floor.

Thanks,
Tom

Nice review, but I already have a Senco.

Ditto on that puppy. I have one too and it has been very reliable and a cinch to use. I like NOT having to oil the thing too. I recently purchased the Bostitch 15ga.angle feed brad nailer. Sweet! I gave it a workout the first week on my paw-in-law’s new boat dock driving 2” stainless brads. Worked like a charm and again, NO oil.

always,

I’ve had this bad boy for about 2 years, and I LOVE it! Never a single problem with it.

Good review. These things (pneumatic nailers) are about as handy as pockets on a shirt. I have the Porter Cable version, a Porter Cable pin nailer, a Pasload trim nailer and a Pasload framing gun. Don’t know where my hammer is – and don’t really care. These nailers are just great!!!

I have one of these as well and have used it without a problem for nearly 4 years.

I can only jump on the upbeat band wagon. I too have one and absolutely love it.

I have one of these. I don’t use it often, but when I have it has worked flawlessly.

I’m a newby and don’t want to make a neby’s mistake.

The above reviews are all helpful and very positive, but when I go to my online shop which carries this tool and also has reviews, say this tool is a “lemon.” I’m inclined to believe and trust the Lumberjocks’ review but perhaps this tool has changed (manufacturing changes??). Anyway, here’s the tool I think you are referring to: Bostitch BT200K-2 – 2” 18 Gauge Oil-Free Brad Nailer Kit. Any clarification would be appreciated.

Mine works fine but doesn’t exactly feel like its built to last… Are all safety’s that rickety? Also, the magnetic strip came off first thing so I had to glue it back. No big deal.

Picked one of these on tooliday.com for $26. Nice!
