This nailer works just great. It is very nice to work with. Tried 3 different size nails and works like a charm. It is light and compact so fairly good in tight places.
Both have worked extremely well and are extremely reliable and consistant. The nails would sometimes go through the oak tongue, bounce off the floor and back up through the face of the oak. I ran into this problem when installing an oak hardwood floor, as when you run out of room for the floor stapler up against a wall you have to use finish nails. I own 2 of the Paslode finish nailers, a straight and an angled nailer. It is lightweight enough to use overhead without difficulty, as I did nailing crown-molding, and powerful enough to drive into solid oak when woodworking. Decreasing the angle of penetration was enough to cure this. I did have some difficulty with the Paslode brand finish nails in that they are fairly soft and can deflect off dense surfaces like OSB.
Now that I'm on my own working as a Cabinetmaker, I love not having a compressor and hose to deal with.just grab and go--in the shop or in the field. I love the Paslode cordless products. I've been using a cordless framer for over a year with no problems. Get yourself one of these. I used the finish nailer years ago working as a finish carpenter, and loved it then.
JUST CHARGE UP YOUR BATTERY (TAKES ABOUT 2 HOURS FOR FULL CHARGE) AND PLUG IN A FUEL CELL AND SOME 16 GA NAILS AND YOUR GOOD TO GO. THE DEWALT NAILER WITH 18 VOLT BATTERY WEIGHS JUST OVER 8 LB., BUT THIS PASLODE WITH A 6 VOLT BATTERY AND FUEL CELL WEIGHS JUST OVER 4 LBS. WHOEVER DESIGNED THIS TOOL IS A GENIUS. THIS NAILER IS FANTASTIC. BATTERY WILL LAST FOR 4000 NAILS AND FUEL CELL LASTS FOR ABOUT 1200 NAILS. GET ONE AND YOU'LL BE LOOKING FOR THINGS TO NAIL. COMES WITH NICE CASE AND BATTERY CHARGER, BUT YOU HAVE TO BUY YOUR FUELS CELLS AND NAILS SEPARATELY.
This nailer is easy to maintain and operate.It saves so much time working on projects that would be near impossible to do with a hammer. Excellent product. I've used this to install complex wall and ceiling trim, wainscoting and just general use.
