The Porter-Cable FR350A Framing Nailer Kit At a Glance: Pneumatic driving action of 70-120 PSI Internal piston mechanism Selectable trigger Tool-free adjustable depth-of-drive Compact, balanced body design

An in-line, hard-coat anodized magazine holds up to 64 nails and provides balance.

Powered by an operating pressure of 70-120 PSI, the FR350A supplies the necessary raw power to sink nails fast. And thanks to its internal piston mechanism, its power remains consistent throughout the job, which means you'll enjoy smooth, trouble-free operation.

Selectable Trigger and Adjustable Depth-of-Drive
For additional flexibility and versatility, a selectable trigger lets you choose restrictive or contact-actuation modes. For convenience, tool-free adjustable depth-of-drive eliminates guesswork with detents for proper nail-head setting.

Time-Saving Design with 64-Nail Capacity
A great time saver, this framing nailer has an in-line, hard-coat anodized magazine that holds up to 64 nails. And to keep you on track, a nail lockout mechanism lets you know when it's time to reload. The reloads themselves are quick and easy thanks to the bypass nail pusher. And to save you even more time, a tool-free adjustable exhaust minimizes downtime.

An added bonus, a removable non-marring nose tip offers on-tool storage to helps keep you from dropping or losing nails.

What's in the Box
FR350A framing nailer; carrying case; 1/4-inch air fitting with dust cover; and oil.

Amazon made buying it very easy and for a good price. The reviews from users were all superb, and the nailer lives up to all the reviews. I'd like to have a few different sizes and types of framing nails for the tool--galvanized, ring-shank, etc. Amazon, would you send me that one again. My new Porter-Cable FR350A framing air nailer works great. It was the first time I ever bought a tool this way, but I'll do it the same way again next time. I couldn't be happier with the tool or the buying-shipping process. My only regret is that I deleted the follow-up e-mail that Amazon sent a few days later, offering what turned out to be very good prices on nails for the tool.

Overall, this nailer is fantastic. It's nice to have the carrying case too. No jams, easy to adjust depth, easy to load cartridge. It's meatier than most others in its class but this one does the job well.

I've finished framing 6 walls and then decided to drop my ceiling. i thought of all of the hammering and my arthritis and decided to buy a framing nailer. Decided to rehab/remodel my house entirely and frame in some walls where none existed. Looked at other reviews here on Amazon and decided on the Porter Cable. Couldn't have done it without this framing nailer. It was everything that every one said it was; dependable, powerful and up to the task.

The gun can take a beating and still keep nailing which is very important, uses plastic collated nails which work with my other guns and are easily found anywhere, depth adjustments can be made on the tool saving trips to the compressor, well balanced, and easy to use. I highly recomend this gun to homeowners, DIY guys, and framers looking to buy their own gun and cant afford the Hitachi NR83. I have never liked or understood the reason for this feature on any nail gun but it is what it is. However I ended up with one of these PC's and much to my suprise i was impressed. Porter cable makes great tools (Lefty saw, routers, sanders ect) and this is no exception.

As you can see only 2 real issues that are bad and everything else is just great. I have a framing company and own 6 hitachi NR83's and am pretty much dedicated to them. Downsides; clearing jams. Porter Cable makes good tools for evryone from rookies to the pros and you will be satisfied with your purchase for many years to come.Rick "Main Frame" Payne I have found that most backloading guns are a real pain in @$$, and not firing the last 3 nails.

The most prominent design change is the nail rack. Additionally, when plugged in side by side with my older FR350, at the same pressure, the new one didn't drive nails nearly as hard or deep, even with the flush tip set all the way up. On the FR350A, you have to feed them into the rack and past the feeder. Also, since you cant open the rack, you cant just let any incomplete strips fall out the back of the gun. I recently bought the FR350A as a companion to my well loved, 8 year old FR350 that has shot tens of thousands of nails through the construction of at least 5 houses and two restaurants.

This nailer is definitely a disappointment. On the original FR350, you pull open the magazine feeder and lock it at the back of the rack. It also makes it very difficult to clear jams. The sign at the Depot said "New Lower Price." I can only imagine how they achieved that price drop, it certainly wasn't by making the tool better. As a general contractor, I have come to rely on Porter Cable for no nonsense, well designed, reliable tools.

this leaves an opening in which to drop the strips. I'll be returning this asap and buying the Hitachi, even though it's $100 more. This results in jams when any strip isnt perfectly straight and intact.
