Great price , light weight and easy to use. For the money you can't go wrong. I read reviews complaining about not counter sinking. I had no problems with the countersinks using 3/4 oak.
Not the best countersinking though. Weekend do-it-youselfer not a pro. But I may be overdoing it. Can't beat the price (my primary reason for purchase) so I'm generally happy with the gun. When Shooting 1 1/2 nails through 3/4 maple framing into plywood, I found I have to apply firm pressure against the piece when I fire the gun to get it to countersink at all. I personally like the brand and would purchase more. Still end up going back over with a punch and hammer to get it deep enough for my linking.
Not too heavy, good price and I would indeed replace it if it were stolen. Easy to load and adjust for depth.Decent case and safety gogles were included. The Milwaukee 7145-21 is a Straight Finish Nailer that is light-weight but a heavy hitter as far as performance. It did not have the coupler fitting though so I had to go pick one up (so I got three just in case the next tool I buy has it missing too) as I needed to use the nailer upon arrival. I hope that it is as reliable as I expect it will be. Keep in mind that if you need to use this in tight spaces (you will if you do Crown or Base Molding) the angled model would be better suited.
found no flaws with this fine tooldid find some suberb positives ---- quiet, powerful, lightweight, and easy to useone of the best nailers I have used AND, due to the wide array of usable lengths of 16ga finish nails it has allowed me to replace two guns with this single one
This nailer works fine as long as you keep it loaded. As a small person, I require all my tools to deliver dependable power without overwhelming bulk. Wish I'd bought one sooner. Even when attached to a 50' air hose, it wasn't too awkward or heavy and hooked easily onto my toolbelt. I paid under $80 for this finish nailer and got a great addition to my box of tools. While remodeling a vintage home, it tacked interior floor moulding, secured fascia, and was a real treat to use while installing trim between the siding and eves. Every time another 10'section of 1/4 round went up, my arms and hands were ever so thankful. The non-mar tip allowed careful placement of the nails without the hassle of hand nailing (over hedges while balancing on a ladder).
