It countersinks just fine in the oak, maple, poplar and spanish cedar I've used it on. I like the way it feels in my hand, I like the way it drives the pins, I like the size of the hole it leaves. I have a bunch of nailers, but always wanted a pin nailer. I think it's a pretty good value too. I'm glad I bought this one.
A light sanding and it pretty much disappears. I bought this pin nailer primarily for pinning small bead moldings for a kitchen cabinet project. I have used 1/2",3/4" & 1" pins with this nailer, all have worked well with no issues. I'm very happy with this purchase and feel it is a very good value. The pins are set with very little to no marring.
Anything longer and I think you should be using a larger nail. This keeps the tool oil from dripping out and making a mess and keeps the insides clean. Also, they won't split the wood like brad nailers. This one holds up to 1 inch pins I think and that's all I'll need it for. I have only used it a few times but I already wish I had purchased it sooner.
One small thing that I really like is the attached little plastic cap that you can cover the male air fitting with while it's not in use. For starters it's half the price of most pinners out there that you would be proud to spend your money on. The nails also hold really well too. Just a smart little addition I wish my dewalt brad nailers had. They don't easily pull out and hold pieces in place very securely while the glue dries.
It had no problem sinking 1 1/2" pins into oak, just below the surface. This tool is very handy. Why did I wait so long to buy a pin nailer. I chose PC because of their reputation, Price, the top vent, narrow tip. I'm liking it so far. The dual triggers,(safety + fire) is kind of funky but with time I'm sure I will get used to.
You need to be cafreful when you use it on rather soft wood. I had no jambs or any other problems. It works fine. I like the compact size body and a little weight to it. Grex comes with no mar tips, why PC can not. However, the tip mars wood pretty bad.
