No need to oil the gun before use, and no risk of getting that oil on unfinised wood to cause problems with stain and other finishes later on. This nailer replaced an off-brand one that I'd had for ten years or so, which finally broke down so that I could replace it. (I also own the Bostitch framing nailer, which I am also very pleased with). I'm very happy with this tool. I shouldn't have waited. The Bostitch nailer is much lighter and easy to handle, has a much better nose piece (non-marking) and, the icing on the cake, is oilless.
Will recomend it to friends and family. Great Finish Nailer, light weight ease of use.
Worked great for installing tongue-n-groove solid bamboo and other, simpler jobs. Truly great tool. Easy depth adjustment.
The hard case and included 2" nails leave you little room for excuses not to get working right away. I changed the tip (with some effort) to the quarter-round so I could nail flush, and in ten minutes (including all measures and cuts with the miter box) I was done. We just had a half-bath installed this past year, and the molding had a quarter- to half-inch gap that needed fixin'. Still, I acquired 1.25" nails for the job and got to work. I borrowed a friend's brad nailer for some insulation work this past summer and saw the light, so no turning back now, it's pneumatic tools for me.-C I was mentally groaning about having to try to nail molding in those corners and tight spots, but on Christmas morn, Santa and The Wife chipped in for this finish nailer.My first impression was how well this handled. Light but solid, it felt like the professional tool that it is.
Specifically it is the nail carrier rail. Once loaded, there is no way to know what size nails are in the unit from the last time it was used. This is a nice nailer and it is well made. It is hard to load and even harder to unload. In contrast, with the DeWalt Nailers both of these things are not an issue. I would agree with almost everything said about it in the other reviews. There is one exception that I thought I would bring to the attention of potential buyers.
