N88WW - A Winner from Bostitch
I recently purchased an N88WW nailer for a modestframing job and was very pleased with its performance, particularly the fastener depth control feature: simply depress a button on the side of the nosepiece and slide the assembly in, or out, to change how far the fastener is driven into the wood, from countersunk to about 1/4" proud. Driving depth is quite consistent and toenailing is simple.

The tool also comes with a "soft shoe", a rubber collar which slips over the aggressive teeth of the nosepiece, to prevent scratching or gouging of the workpiece, but you'll want to remove it to get maximum depth when toenailing.

A rotating deflector allows the operator to aimexhaust in whatever direction is best. This is especially handy in tight corners where the exhaust blast could result in a face full of dust if the deflector were not adjustable.

The tool ships with a contact trip trigger installed but a sequential trigger is included and can be installed in a couple of minutes. The included heavy duty nylon carry bag, with handle and shoulder strap, is a real bonus.

Being a lefty I found that the air line, which exits from the right side of the magazine, was often in the way, but this is no great hardship.

All in all, this is a greattool thatmakes framing faster, easier and more accurate than with a hammer.

Highly recommended.

Note: If you'r project will include lots ofjoist hangers, this may not be the best nailer for you. Check out Bostitch's new round head stick nailer that has a special nosepiece for shoooting into joist hanger holes, as well as a standard framing nosepiece.

First time buyer
This nailgun is my first and I have been very pleased with it. I have been helping to build a log style house and have used it to nail everything. I have run #12, #10, and #8 nails thru it. The only problem I have had was a bad batch of nails. We got to looking at the nails and found that the nails were welded at the wrong angle. The gun still drove them flush into the lumber-with the head of the nail at a @60 degree angle. We got another box of nails-end of problem.

The depth control is simple to use and effective. The ability to just turn the exhaust port where you want it is wonderfull. Being able to load and unload nails from the rear of the gun saves a lot of time compaired to the other guns on the job.

I have been quite happy with my nailgun. I do some handyman type work and usually just nail by hand. My trusty Eastwing is getting a lot less use these days.

WOW!! impressive...!(for me)
Never owned a nail gun before but this one is as advertised,
BUT.....UNDERSTAND THIS!!! IT TAKES 28 DEGREE WIRE WELD CLIPPED HEAD NAILS!!!!!!!same as for the N80S!!made by Stanley..Loews has them.The closest Loews to me was 70 miles away. Great gun but non standard nails. I gave it 5 stars because the gun is a winner. ... Read more

Outstanding for joist hangers
I bought one of these because I dread hand nailing all the nails on a joist hanger.This little palm nailer does the trick!

It's quick, drives all the little hanger nails and the 10 pennyones too.It can even be used to drive that little spike on the hanger to hold the hanger in place before nailing.The unit is fairly light and fits comfortably in the hand.I'll bet I cut the time down to 1/5th verses hand nailing.

The only disadvantage to this tool is the noise.It is loud so you may want to have some hearing protection available.

Well worth the $$$...enjoy!

Great but....
Bought a N88RH-2MCN and the PN100 came with it (for free).

Works really really well EXCEPT - the manual says it will
drive a 70d nail but nothing close to that size nail will
fit in the tip...called Bostitch a few times - first they
said that tip only comes in a kit (PN100K) and cannot be
purchased separately, then called back and talked to someone
that knew the product - he said that the nose piece for the
larger nails does not exist anywhere and that the engineering
dept was notified and knows of the situation.

This thing will drive any nail that you can get in the nose
piece REALLY REALLY well.

I have driven true 16d (3 1/2 inch long, 0.162" diameter)
all the way into 2x6's and it really works well and is very
quick.

Saves your arm
I had a Porter Cable Framing Nailer to build my shop but gave it to Habitat For Humanity when done since I would hardly ever use it in the future.I recently have some little odd jobs to do so thought about a palm nailer.The price on the Bostich is even lower than Harbor Freight's "import".I've only tried it with 6d nails but it works great.You do have to add a 1/4"npt fitting ($0.99).I'm too old to pound nails with a hammer all day so this tool is a great help to me. ...

Editorial Review

Right off the bat, you know you're getting a great nailer if it says Bostitch on it, and this model more than lives up to that reputation. Talk about power--it fires with 1,000 inch-pounds of driving power to tackle even the toughest engineered lumber. In spite of that, it's lighter than we expected at just 7.9 pounds, but the balance in hand is so sweet that it doesn't feel nearly that heavy. We really like how the molded-rubber comfort grip feels, too, absorbing the shock. Another great feature is the aggressive toenailing teeth, which bite into your workpiece for totally slip-free toenailing. It loads super fast to keep you on the job, and the push-button depth control is so slick that it's patented. Tool-free exhaust adjustment is a nice plus. No matter what your project--framing, sheathing, siding, trusses, wood to masonry, fencing, or decking--this nailer will not let you down. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste ... Read more

Solid, dependable, versatile... a workhorse
I've been using my Bostitch N88RH nailer for the past year on a remodel (after reading reviews here). Toe-nailing is very easy with the sharp barbs, and being able to adjust the depth on the gun is a great feature. It does jam occasionally and sometimes getting the jammed nail out takes a bit of work (why I gave it 4 instead of 5). Most of the time, I've found the issues with jams due to the nails (the plastic coating doesn't always get completely removed so the next nail in line doesn't get into position correctly) and not the gun - per se. I've only used it in single fire mode so I can't comment on the rapid fire action. The gun feels nice in your hand, solid but not heavy. I'm in S.F., so finding nails has not been a problem. Overall, I would definitely recommend this nailer to anyone.

Experience
I selected this unit because it was a somewhat newer model than the PC round head framer.
After 4 nails it jammed.Tried adding more air pressure.
Shot 4 more nails, jammed again.
Cleared jam, then the nailgun shot (2) nails together!
Then jammed badly, with (2) nails stuck in the shute.
Reqired disassembly to get the jam cleared.
(Yes, the correct nails were being used, air pressure 70-90)
Anyone interested in buying a nailgun?

Great gun
Oustanding gun!Light weight and prefectly balanced.Tons of power to counter sink even the biggest nails.Easily sunk 16d ring shanks into treated lumber.The depth of drive is a sinch to adjust, just push the button on the nose piece.My only gripe with this gun is the lack of an eazy clear feature to clear any jams but i havent had a single problem with jams yet.Just remember that this gun shoots round head nails and not clipped head wire welds.I use Duo-Fast full head nails because that is all that is available here in Southeast Texas and they work fine. ...

Editorial Review

The first time you pick up the Bostitch N62FNK-2, you mightwonder if such a lightweight finish nailer (it weighs just 3.8 pounds,the lightest in its class) can really get the job done. But once youpull the trigger and feel the 400 in./lbs. of driving power at yourfingertips, those doubts will disappear and you'll wonder how you everdid without it before. Rugged and sturdy enough for virtually anyapplication, the N62FNK-2 delivers fast, clean, accurate results usingfinish nails from 1 to 2-1/2 inches in length. An oil-free engine meansno unsightly stains on your work--a definite plus--and no need for messylubrication, an even bigger positive. Tool-free maintenance and depthcontrol only add to the allure. --Carl Thress ... Read more

It's been a great nailer!
I researched a lot of nailers; Max, PortaCable, DeWalt, Makita, Hitachi, Senco and Bostitch.

They all have different strong points and from reviews I've read, they're all pretty good. I boiled it down to personal preference. I looked at what features I really wanted and the ones that I could do without along with the compromises I could live with.

I was concerned by a previous post regarding breaking the driver if you inadvertently hit a buried solid object, ie. screw or nail etc.

I spoke with a Senco rep who said that when they redesigned the 41xp the engineer turned the driver rod around which made it a little more resistant to breakage and during test fires he's hit previously driven nails without incident although he did say it's something that can happen but they don't see a lot of it.

I contacted Bostitch regarding their driver. They stated it was made from S7 tool steel and they haven't heard of any problems.

I narrowed my choice to oiless of which there are only 2; Senco and Bostitch. If I didn't mind getting an oil version I'd get the Hitachi. I also wanted a light gun, Bostich is the lightest.

So far so good! I love the nailer, especially the lack of weight. It's well balanced and has a lot of power. The fine setting adjustment on the nose is unmarked as to which way you turn it to sink a nail deeper or more shallow. The direction of rotation is shown in the user manual. Just think of it the way you tighten or loosen screws. Clockwise - deeper etc.

The no-mar pad is black, I'd rather it be clear but I've developed a habit and ability to sight through the hole and position it in the right place.

It has good safety features, is well constructed and for the price I think it's a good deal. It's also made in U.S.A. the Senco is made in Taiwan.

Bostitch N6FNK-2
I have used this finish nailer extensively while building a 24 x 40 foot RV cover and while remoulding two houses.This nailer has never failed to fire when needed.It has never jammed either while using it with a campbell hausfield air comp.I run the nailer at 80 pounds with great results.I have just finished remolding my daughters house and shoot an entire box of nails with no problems.I use factury nails 2 1/2" and 2" long.

Duo-fast vs. Bostich
From the sound of these reviews, the gun seems to work pretty good for homeowners & such. I've been a carpenter for 40 years. I've been using finish nailers for about 20 years. My last nail gun was a Duo-fast. I finally retired it recently, after 17+ years of service. Since the local lumber yard carries Bostich nails, I went with Bostich. I've had the gun 18 months & the piston rod has broken 3 times. Replacing it myself still cost me $35.00 a pop. Anybody who has trimmed a door or window or installed baseboard, knows it's immpossible not to hit a screw head or sheetrock nail once in a while. Well, everytime I hit one, the piston rod breaks. It breaks in the exact same spot. It appears to made of cast aluminum or something, instead of hardened or stainless steel. I like the gun & am thinking about getting somebody to manufacture a functional rod for me, since Bostich doesn't know how. ... Read more

Excellent stapler.
Just installed 1000 square feet of 3/8 engineered flooring with this tool. Had only installed solid 3/4 inch flooring before, but this is much easier and faster. No misfires and tool sink staples to perfect depth every time.

Throw away the glue, buy this tool
This tool enabled me to take on more than I would have had I continued to use glue like they told me to do at Home Depot.The first room I worked on I used glue and decided I had to find a better way, this was it.

The flooring went down easier, the finished product was much better, and the frustration level went down.

The hardest part was learning how to load the staples.After that it was a snap

An Excellent Choice

Customer Service Was Awesome
I ordered one of these via UPS ground, and it showed up before the promised delivery date.The product inside the Bostitch box wasn't what was shown on the outside.It was an MIIIFS Flooring stapler inside, but marked as a cleat nailer.

I contacted customer service the same day, and was given the UPS labels for return.Additionally, a new one was over-night shipped via FedEx.It showed up before the first one was due to have been delivered.Cudos to you and your customer-focused attitude.

Pneumatic or Manual
I use this pneumatic stapler on a daily basis. I've also used the pneumatic and manual nailers numerous times. I recommend the pneumatic stapler far beyond all else. It hardly ever jams and it sets the staples into the wood better than the manual. The nailer jams more and is much harder to clear, when it does. More often than anything, if the stapler jams you simply have to pick it up off the wood and tap it on the side of the resevoir. It normally will drop out any broken pieces of staple at that time. It makes life alot easier when you are working on a large floor.

Expensive But Worth It.
This tool makes laying a hardwood floor almost fun.If you are laying a prefinished floor, I would also recommend the optional foot (MIIIFOOT).I don't see that this is available on Amazon.I purchased mine on eBay.Also, some of the reviews on this item are for the MIIIFS, which is a floor stapler, not a nailer.According to some sources, there are less problems with the wood splitting with the nailer.There seems to be a hot market for these tools on eBay.I plan to resell mine when I am finished with it. ...

but anyway the STANLEY FINISH NAILER IS A NICE GUN

Update on Repair Parts
Back in October 2002, I wrote a review concerning the incident I had with the part #06 blowing out on the nail gun. This is the main Butt cap on the end of the nailer. As I stated in my review, I was not sure if it was a manufacturing error or just a fluke. After extensive research and contacting many people using the nail gun, I had reached the conclusion that it was indeed a fluke. Today, March 23rd, A design engineer from Bostitch contacted me. It seems that they have been trying to reach me for several months and finally caught me at home. They had been informed of my problem with this nail gun and were extremely concerned. As per our telephone conversation, they have sold hundreds of thousands of these units and this was the first time they had heard of this incident concerning the end cap exploding from the back of the gun. As I told him, I had come to the conclusion that this was a fluke and I did not feel that it was a design flaw. I also apologized to him for not posting a follow up concerning my conclusion that it was a fluke. This I am doing now. IT WAS A FLUKE FOLKS. I have the big brother to this gun and have used it extremely hard and it is working fine with NO problems what-so-ever. I only wish I had kept the exploded gun so I could send it back to them for analysis. By the way, they are sending me a replacement nail gun free of charge. This I am happy about because I really liked that little gun. Handy, Light weight, easy to operate and I could see my nail supply in the slide loader. Most other guns don't have a view window. Anyway, Kudo's to Bostitch. Thanks for the followup. Much appreciated... ... Read more

Works great for me!
This compressor has worked great for me. I like that it is somewhat powerful and also light enough to pick up by hand. I also like the oil-free aspect of it - keeps everything clean.

I use it to run an impact wrench, keep a fleet of cars tires pumped up, and run a diaphragm pump. It has plenty of power for more than that.

it's OK, but
Pros: lightweight, relatively quiet, super-inexpensive.

Cons: barely keeps up with my Bostitch NC80 coil framing nailer.Runs almost constantly when framing.It's fine for roofing or finish work but be prepared to work slowly if you're framing and don't even consider using it for 2 people.

Net: I wouldn't buy it again and almost asked Amazon to exchange it.

Great Value!
I have had this for about 5 months now and am happy with it so far. I mainly wanted it to use with my framing/finish nailers and also for it's size and portability. I have a big 30 gal one in the garage that is not easy to move around due to it's size and weight. I like the fact that it has an induction motor which is better than the brush types as far duty cycle is concerned. The build quality is also very good. Overall I am glad that I bought it and would highly recommend it!! ... Read more

Wish I had it sooner!
I got this gun yesterday, and I loved it after 2 nails. I had no problems whatsoever. I wish I had bought this thing several roofing projects ago...It actually made the roofing job kinda fun!Light weight, easy to load, plenty of power, only one door to fool with, and locks out after the last nail. I'm happy with my purchase.

Bostich Roofing Nailer
If you make a living roofing this gun is not for you.
I have been in the business for over 25 years and this gun is the biggist
piece of crap on the market.
This gun has been working steady 7 days a week since October .
Feeder spring has gone 3 times,air leaks not caused by worn o rings.
Bumper has to be constantly readjusted.
Dpwn time means no money is being made.
So by anything other than this gun.

Owner-Builder who likes it a lot
I couldn't justify a separate framing nailer and a positive placement nailer, so this appealed to me. I was a bit worried by the two one-star reviews here. Both seemed a bit extreme, so I bought it, and haven't been sorry. It's well made and does what I need without annoying me. Favorite features are easy depth adjustment and framing to positive-placement changeover. I've done a good amount of both now, with frequent changes back and forth. My main issue is that it won't shoot a 16d nail when in positive-placement mode.

I've had none of the problems in the negative reviews. Yes, it's somewhat heavy, but no more than other framing nailers (same as the Hitachi NR83A2 recommended in the Alex Crowder review). Compared to other framing nailers, it may be a bit bulkier at the top, but the grip is standard, not "weird" in any way I can see. It seems no louder, and loading nails is extremely easy.

Finding nails was not a big problem. Lowes and Home Depot hadframing nails (mostly off-name brands). I went to a pro supply place (Manor Hardware) for the connector nails, and I ended up buying all my nails there. I'm sure the high quality nails I used, Halsteel Trackers, are partly responsible for my good experience.

Being single-purpose, a dedicated positive-placement gun is most likely superior in some ways. All I can say is my combo Bostitch has worked great for me.

multipurpose
I've had this for about a year and am very happy with it. I've used it for roof and wall framing, sheathing, and siding. It has good power, light, comfortable, anti-slip pads, and the depth adjustment is very convenient, just push a button on the nosepiece and it moves in and out, very nice when you go from framing with 16d to sheathing with 10d so you don't drive through the plywood/OSB (face it, if you needed to get a tool to adjust the depth, you wouldn't do it!). This feature is also nice when you are doing exterior trim and siding so you don't just blow through the material (it comes with a rubber cover to cover up the toenailing teeth for finer work). But the real beauty of this nailer is that it converts to a positive placement gun. Push the same button that lowers the nose for depth adjustment and you pull the whole nose out and replace it with a positive placement nosepiece that allows you to shoot teco nails in metal connectors. (I'll agree with other reviewers that these nails are difficult to find, I got the sku from Stanley's webpage and did a special order at Lowes, price was fine, to dispel another reviewer's rant). With todays building codes, they want metal connectors on everything, I have joist hangers, rafter hangers (LSSU2110) and holddowns, this nailer really made this work bearable. There are better dedicated framing nailers (this doesn't have a bump trigger option) and positive placement nailers (this is big and sometimes can't reach in a corner) but this is a real nice combo unit if you want one that can do both. I have a gripe that it doesn't come with a bag/case, but I guess you can buy one separate. I also attached a rafter hook to mine available here at Amazon: Toolhangers Unlimited 21087T, it says it is for a wormdrive saw but it fits this nailer fine.

Piece of Junk!!
We have two of these guns and they just don't perform. They are actually falling apart and they are only a month and a half old. Nails jam in the gun and the worst thing is they actually fire nails when you attach the air hose to it. So when you see someone at the beginning of the day hooking up the guns run for cover and I AM NOT KIDDING.

If you are thinking about buying this gun reconsider and spend the extra money on a Hitachi. ... Read more

Didn't work well as a stapler.
I bought this 2-in-1 for convenience (it's a 2-in1!) and because of a very good past history with other Stanley-Bostitch tools. I was sorely disappointed. I tried to use this to staple 1/4" underlayment, but encountered numerous jams, misfeeds and situations where one of the two legs of the stapler would not sink. All-in-all, of the 200 staples I tried to sink, I had 30+ 'mis-fires'; or ~16%. I tried varrying the pressure between 80-110 psig (even though the tool is clearly marked do not exceed 100 psig) but the problem never got better. Every 5th or 6th staple would be a problem. Clearly, this is not good. I was left with no other option but to return it (and used my neighbor's Porter Cable to finish the job). I've never had a problem with my brad-only tool Bostitch, so either I got a bad one or this is a bad design. I can't recommend this item.

Light weight dual purpose
I use this mostly for stapling up cedar shingles and the only problem I have with it is you have to pull the trigger every time.I understand this is considered a finish nailer but having an option would be nice, especially in a situation like mine where accurancy is much less important than speed.

The plastic nose guard didn't last long on mine for siding work, but when I'm doing finish work I always get it out.The arrows are very accurate in helping show the nail/staple position.

Bositch now makes an even lighter model but that one is for staples only.Having the ability to do staples and brads is why I keep getting this one.Plus the weight difference doesn't really matter to me because this on is already so light I don't notice the weight.

Not worth a dime!!
I'm a woodworker ,I bought this tool thinking a dual use tool would be more practical. Was I wrong!I've had this tool about 2 months and used it to drive 3 18 gauge nails ,it promptly jambed up and wouldn't shoot another nail. It will shoot staples very well, but due to the sloppy slot the nails slide in, they become jambed right away.What lousey workmanship .
I have a 16 Ga. Porter Cable nailer that is indestructable.I've had it 5 yrs.and use it constantly and have had no problems with it. This Bostitch tool is totally worthless . I would recomend it for the junk pile ... Read more

Broken
The thin metal bar that drives the nail down was broken upon arrival.So I would have to give it the lowest rating.

Must Have For Floor Install
Seems rugged and works great.It takes a short while to get use the swing.You want to hit it pretty hard to force the boards together without splitting the toe.
You can build your floor with a nice finish nailer, but the cleat is much sturdier.
Senco cleats from your local hardware works great.You don't need to wait two weeks for the Bostitch.

Great Tool for the Money
I had the opportunity to use both this tool and the Porta Nailer manual floor nailer during a recent job. Both tools were new, both were solidly constructed and of good quality. The Bostich proved far superior to the Porta Nailer due primarily to the ratcheting feature on the Porta Nailer. This does not fuction well and is a poor design. The Porta nailer would leave cleats half driven or fail to release the cleat from the nailer after the cleat was fully driven. On the Porta Nailer side of the job we spent alot of time on our knees with a nail set trying to set cleats. We were forced to pull up a few planks becasue the cleats could not be set or removed. Eventually it was faster to just use the Bostich than waste man hours with the Porta Nailer. POSTSCRIPT _ It's a great value for the money - over ten big jobs without a hitch. ... Read more

10-12 Hits and JAM...JAM ...JAM
I am not in to staples.. Just get it done.. This product is a complete "Simple tool .. gone bad.." I tried the Bostich, B&C, and Arrow staples, all crowned, all failed.. I never could get more than 12 goods hits.. Sorry folks, pass on this one, and find a swedish Rapid series.. Art ( owner, Home builder)

The best hammer stapler yet
This stapler works great.Your fingers don't get pinched like other hammer staplers.When you use the correct staplers (Power Crown), the stapler doesn't jam.This is the best hammer stapler I've owned.

bostitch [messed]up
I've been in construction for 15 years now and have used the "old" bostitch H-2B stapler for years and loved it.Last summer I went to order a couple more and found out they were discontinued; I checked everywhere ; even @ a repair facility that has the parts to rebuild them; no one has any of them left.I called Bostitch directly and they said the "new" one takes the same staples ; WRONG so I bought the grand slammer and I hate it ; the staples are hard to keep in the rail while closing the ram and they jam as easily as the "cheap" arrow t-50's did; I didn't mind spending $100.00 for a stapler I could rely on and one that was easy to replace or clean the parts; I WISH they would begin making the H2B again PLEASE! ...

Good product
I purchased this item for a carpenter that I sometime work for. He gave me his Arrow hammertacker becuase it always jammed.Your product has been jam free since he has had it (2 years). I used his old stapler today while working off of a 28 foot ladder. It worked so well that I threw it to the ground and decided to order 2 of them , one for me and one for him (he left his on a job).

Simpler is better
I've owned every slap hammer stapler you can imagine. This is one of my favorites. It is so simple.If you like jams this tool is not for you. It just doesn't jam up like the others that are more complicated. I refuse to buy any more of the arrow and duo-fast staplers. I have some of the 100.00 Stanley H2B's but they are just gathering dust. I prefer these cheap little slammers any day of the week.

Bostitch does it right
I think the real selling point of this one is the holster.Forcontractors (especially roofers), a holster is a necessity for the job --and how often do you see a retailer that sells slap-tacker holsters?Andyou can trust the quality of every tool Bostitch puts their name on.I'dsay this one is a keeper for anybody in the market for slap-tackers. ...

Great Nailer!
I have just begun a 2000 sq. ft. addition on my home. This nailer is the perfect tool for nailing all the joist hangers. I have a lot of engineered lumber in my design and trying to drive a nail by hand into a microlam beam is very difficult. I have framing nailers but they are too big to get in between the rafters at times.

The tool has a good feel and weight. Very comfortable. I drove over 200 nails the first day I used it and it never malfuctioned once. The glove keeps the tool where it needs to be and there is very limited recoil so it doesn't bother your hand at all.

I would recomend this nailer to anyone who does even the smallest amount of construction or home inprovement. In fact I have a second one on order for a Christmas gift for my 68 year old father who fell in love with it the first time he used it.

Pneumatic Palm Nailer
I recently retired and have undertaken a project to build a woodworking shop-garage.Swinging a hammer has become a very tiresome chore, and I was considering the purchase of a framing nailer.Upon reviewing information from various manufacturers, I realized that a framing nailer is a very specialized tool.
However, I happened to run across information about palm nailers. In reviewing the information provided by Amazon, I read that a palm nailer can be used for nailing any size nail and in many different applications. I could see where this would be a more useful tool than a framing nailer.I purchased the Bostitch PN100 kit, and immediately started using it with 16d nails in framing my new shop. I then used 10d nails in decking the roof. All I can say is this nailer is wonderful!!It drives nails quickly, at any angle, and in a limited amount of space. You do have to be careful to make sure that the alignment of the nail with the nailer is correct; if not, bent nails will result. However, with just a little practice, nailing becomes an effortless operation. I would recommend this as a general purpose nailer to anyone.I might also add that I own a brad nailer and a roofing nailer made by Porter Cable, and a 1/4 inch crown stapler, and the Bostitch nailer works as well as any of them. ...

broken compressor no help to fix it
Hi T.W.IT M.C.Ibought this compressor combo kit at a local dealer and when it broke no wants to touch it or have any parts for it.How can I repair my tools!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bostitch Cpack 100 Great Deal
I purchased the Bostitch CPACK100 from Amazon and it is an amazing kit. I like the compressor because of it's quick recovery and portability. The brad nailer will nail oak trim with no problem. The compressor also has plenty of power to use with a framing nailer and finish nailer. It's a great product!

So Far So Good
I received my combo last week and used it for about 6 hours so far. I have used the compressor with the brad nailer and a Bostitch angle finish gun. So far it works beautifully. I had a jam in the finish nailer...no problem to clear. The brad nailer has been flawless so far. What I will say is that the directions for the compressor aren't worth the paper they are printed on. If you buy this compressor: The large gauge measures the pressure in the tank, the motor will cut off at 120 psi. The small gauge measures the psi delivered to the tool. Pull up the red cap and adjust the outflow until it meets the psi you need, then push the cap down to lock. To drain or release pressure the valve is on the bottom. The hose and connections are self explanatory.

Overall I'm very happy so far for the price you can't go wrong. ... Read more
