16 gauge Straight Finish Nailer Kit - 7145-21  Product Reviews

"I bought 3-tools only used one did not work very well would not set the nails 1 3/4'' but the gun can shoot larger nails did not even try"

"This is by far the greatest value I've found in a finish nailer. Works just as well as my Dad's Paslode, but it's lighter."

"The ergonomic design and materials quality are excellent, but the execution seems to be a bit off with this tool. The gun I received had a nail feed pusher that would bind in the middle of the slide, so the plunger would sometimes fire but no fastener would be driven because the pusher had hung up and the strip of fasteners was not pushed under the driver. Normally the tool would prevent you from firing without at least five fasteners left in the magazine, but this kind of jam fools that mechanism so I had divots in my work piece but no fastener. The power of drive was also not as I expected, leaving the head of 2" nails about 1/4" above the surface of my hardwood test block and sometimes leaving the head slightly proud of the surface of two stacked 2x4 studs. Driving through thinner wood into stud material was fine, so don't let my comments above deter you if you may not need to drive long nails into tough material ,this tool has a lot of positive features and it may have just been the one I received that does not feed 100% reliably. I also have their 18ga brad nailer and love it, no problems at all."

"I bought this nailer for everyday work. I liked the feel of this nail gun but it would not fully drive the nails. I spent more time setting the nails with a nail set. I would not reccomend this gun to anyone for this reason alone. I'll stick with pasloder and hitatchi."
