Probabley made in China or hecko en Mexico. In the 2+ years that I've put this tool to work it might have driven 8000 to 10,000 Teco nails. Those of you who contract remodel jobs know just how handy a palm nailer can be installing Simpson hardware in those hard to get at places. It's given up the ghost. Try another brand. In my collection of pneumatic tools the Senco brad nailers are among my favorites but this little unit disappoints me.
The perfect tool for installing those pesky joist hanger nails especially in an awkward area where swinging your club just won't work.
However, it is still better than using a carpenters hammer on 16D nails. I borrowed my neighbors nailer during our remodel and it work so well I had to buy one. I was excited when I got mine in the mail, but dissappointed when I started using it. An excellent gift for any female do it yourselfer who has to drive large nails for a project. The action is inconsistent and the nails don't drive as easily as my neighbors.
Clearly not a hammer job. I first purchased this nailer when a remodeling project required 8d nails be driven under an existing roof line that provided less than 7 inches of vertical clearance. It's light-weight (unlike conventional nail guns), drives a 16d nail in less than 2 seconds, and, at the end of a remodeling day, doesn't send me home with a sore wrist and arm. Although I originally pruchased the palm nailer for use in difficult-to-reach locations, I've grown to using it more in situations where convential tools would also work. The Senco palm nailer provides the ideal solution in situations where a regular old hammer comes up short. I've driven 8d - 16d nails with roughly equal success, although the smaller nails will occassionally bend if the drive angle is not consistantly maintained. All in all, a very good investment. If you can't tolorate an occassional bent nail, I've found using stick nails (purchased for my Porter Cable F350 nail gun) solves the problem.
Is probably fine for framing nails, hanger nails etc. I bought this model to replace an A9 that was stolen.This is a poor substitute, for the A9, definitely not up to Senco's reputation. This appears to be a budget model. I wish senco would stick to quality tools only, not the budget market. I use this tool weekly, I drive alot of 12d and 16d casing nails, they get jambed in the head, this never happend with the A9.
