There have been no repairs required, even though it's been used in a commercial setting & not always treated kindly. It's performed almost flawlessly & has held up well. If I could improve one thing on the tool, I'd make it oil-less like the other finish guns in the Bostitch lineup. I've found the power adjustment lever to be unnecessary & always leave it set to the maximum position. I've owned this pin nailer for about 5 years & found it to be a very good value for the money. The tool is slightly larger than other guns that shoot pins in the 1 1/4" range, but is not unwieldy. Other than that, I feel it's one of the top 23g tools in this price range. The dual trigger safety takes a little getting used to initially, but becomes second nature once you've used it a bit.
This makes it very easy to have the nail come out accidentally insuring somebody. The Bostitch Pin Nailer is doing its basic function fine. I can only give it a 2 star because it has in my opinion a major design flaw. I have never seen a nail gun in which it so easy to make a mistake in this way. It is very easy to press both handles simultaneously to initiate the nailing.
I've used this on kitchen cabinets and also on a wood floor install (3/8" flooring - first and last rows). Bought this because the price was way lower than most pinners. I wanted to get a Grex, but at over $200+ for one I couldn't justify spending the money. Sank into maple and oak up to 3/4" thick with no problems. I also like Bostitchs 7 year warranty on their air nailers.
Works great in pine and softer woods. Not a single jam, small, easy to work with. I returned mine and got Cadex. Again for most of application it works great. Overall, this is good product for the price. However I had to use it in santos mahagony and nails (1") have been sticking up. No idea how that one will work, didn't receive it yet. Wasn't that bad , but unacceptable if you want to do your work 100%.
Love the "invisible" holes, and my dog really appreciates the lower noise level. Just got the nailer (pinner). last week. I don't use my 18 Ga nailer much anymore. It sinks pins perfectly in both Oak and pine right out of the box.
