Best Nailer you'll find in this price range No-picture-s No-picture-s Click the pictures to enlarge them

I love this brad nailer. i got it a Lowe’s for about 80 dollars and it hasn’t failed me since. it has never jammed and the performance has been great. i decided on this brad nailer because it had a 7 year warranty and it was the only one under 100 dollars to accept brads up to 2”. i like how its oil free too. this is my first brad nailer so i don’t know how much of a good thing that is but my dad (who has had nailers you need to oil) says that its good.

now more on the performance. as i said it has never jammed and always drives the nail perfectly just below the surface as long as you have it within the recommended pressure settings. the brads are easy to load also which makes life a whole lot easier. i have been very happy with this brad nailer so far and if it broke tomorrow i would get a new one because of the warranty. but if i needed to i would buy another one again.

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

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.
