It is now one of the most prized tools in my shop. I have been an avid woodworker for over 50 years. During that period I have had numerous opportunities to clamp trim, small pieses, or irregular shaped pieces. The fastner hole is virtually invisable. When I read that the Micro Pinner was virtually invisable I said, yea sure.
For driving deeper turn the pressure up to 105 - 110 psi. It's also great for glue ups and assemblies like face frames and even cabinet doors. The difference is after the holes are filled they are invisible. It drives pins perfectly at 70 - 90 psi. I'm a furniture maker and finish carpenter by trade and I should have bought this tool years ago.
Unlike 18 gauge nail holes. I've shot several thousand nails so far and it has yet to jam. The pin holes are so tiny they don't really need filling. It is without reservation a 5 star tool Though for hardwood trim I still find myself touching up the holes.
I was able to easily drive the 1 3/8" pins. Having the requisite tools (extra cap and hex key) attached to the nailer is a plus altough I have not had any jams so have not used the key.The included 1000 pins in each of the lengths is a great idea because it saves you a ton of bucks as try the different sizes to find what works for your projects.I am completely satisfied with this nailer. The two finger safety trigger is easy to use. The material was steamed European Beech and it was very hard. I purchased this tool after seeing my cabinetmaker destroy some costly bamboo molding BEFORE he bought this pin nailer.
Loading the nailer is very simple. I bought it to use in finishing a pair of beds I made for my grandchildren. Using the plastic nose cover there was no face damage and I still had full penetration at only 90psi working pressure. Thrilled that I bought it. The holes were so small they literally disappeared.
