"The one thing i would improve is the head of the nail gun to make it easier for the user to know precisely the point the nail will hit the wood for better toe-nailing because currently where the large circular head touches the wood it makes you guess."
"I have a 6 gallon, 150 psi pancake compressor that works very well with this tool."
"so far the feel, the design, and the weight seem perfect, I like the cap cover for the air inlet, I will be using this at the end of the month to build my deck, will give a update on how it holds up."
"The grip bunches up a bit toward the top of the handle as it's being used."
"Pros: Good price for the product. Easy to use. Cons: Its a little heavy, and the top of the grip caused a small blister on my thumb due to the weight and kick of the gun."
"This rate is faster than I can nail, so it works very well with small compressors."
"I ran it off of a 20 gallon compressor, which allowed for smooth operation, no glitches, and ease of use."

"This tool freezes up real easy."
"Two more thousand nails on day two all without a problem."
"The nailer has yet not to drive a nail, however, the nailer foot could be improved to say on the nailer."
"The ability to nail 1.5 inch nails was a big selling point. If I was a contractor, I would get a framing nailer and a coil nailer, but this nailer at about 200 bucks does 1.5 to 3.5 inch nails."
"All things considered this nail gun has suited my needs. This my be something I'm doing wrong and does not affect performance."
"Amazon had the best price for this gun, and it arrived within a blink of an eye :). The plastic protector on the tip will only be around for awhile... but it's absence doesn't seem to impact the operation of the gun at all. I have not used the metal connector nose piece yet; however, the option to use it as such directly impacted my choice in which gun to purchase. NOTE: I've bought enough air tools to be keen to this, but for someone buying their first, you'll need to purchase a nipple to fit your air hose connector, too."
"Bought this to replace the epic fail Hitachi NR90GR2 gas powered framing nailer that I could not, no matter what, get to consistently fire nails. Upon throwing the Hitachi across the yard, I went to the big box store and grabbed a Rigid nailer. Used it for 1.5 days of framing and siding install before it jammed one too many times then shot a nail through the clip and finished that gun off for good. I have not had a chance to use it for metal hangers, but tomorrow will be hanging rafters with ties and plan to report back. On my very last hanger the gun misfired and lodged a nail under the piston head, splitting the nose housing. On the Hitachi all the weight is in the head of the nailer, and little to none in the lower handle area. With the added weight of the filter assembly on the Bostitch you're working to rotate that handle as you climb through rafters and twist and turn the gun. If you're familiar with the Bostitch line of nailers go see for yourself at the local big box. Also if you notice the big box orange dealer is clearancing out their Bostitch and now has the full line of DeWalt nailers. At first I didn't like it, and if you're not smart about it or get in a bad habit you could easily set yourself up to put a nail through your hand adjusting the depth. And it's dead accurate every time, where as the Hitachi is a twist style and wasn't that consistent. It took very little effort to find a box of 1000 1.5" metal hanger nails made by Bostitch here on Amazon. -You have to take the actual trigger switch out and put in a different one to get a bump fire operation. Might be an issue for some people and their compressors, especially if you never need the extra punch, and don't care for the metal hanger feature. So recap - the gun self destructs on hanger mode, and to switch from sequential to rapid fire takes 10 min., a small screwdriver and if you're lucky you won't lose the tiny nut that in reality should be permanently mounted to the gun. Actually in reality the gun should have a little switch to change from sequential to rapid fire- like every other nailer on the market."

Cordless lithium-ion framing nailer. Fewer jams and misfires when used with Paslode framing nails that have the precise nail strip collation matched to the nailer.

"Love the gun!"
"They just keep making them better."
"This is my second Paslode nail gun."
"I love this framing nailer."
"Best product in its class."
"Too expensive for me who just want to save some money."

"The strike swing does not have to be really hard, it's just after using this for hours you can get complacent and swing light causing a nail to not penetrate the hardwood all the way. No issue with the foot plate of the nailer scratching or damaging the flooring during installation."
"The second issue is that at the handle and bumper jammer, where hit the gun with the mallet, are kindof bulky and made it hard to reach some spots on the job....but I still LOVE it."
"Initial Review Out-of-the-Box: This nailer/stapler has everything included, as well as good quality chrome assembly tool, hex wrenches and oil. I purchased this because the price was good and renting a tool was a real pain in my area with a long drive."
"The unit is well made and has no problems with sticking of the plunger or with jamming. It arrived early, very well packed, and with all the components in plastic bags. If you arm hurts, change over and get experience with running both a lefty and a righty style so will have an option. You need to pay attention and have a bit of finess when you use these things; pay attention to the details of how and where to place the head and learn what the proper contact position is for the wood you are nailing. A two inch cleat can take a bit of effort to dig out of your red oak."
"I did some trials on a fake floor I set up to get the pressure right, and had to adjust it a few times after, but mostly it would reliably fire the nail in."

"I had a medium sized area of water damage on the exterior of my house that needed repair. Being a homeowner/DIY'er, I didn't want to spend a small fortune on a tool that won't see too much action. I compared a few different brands and narrowed it down to the Freeman PCN65 Coil Siding Fencing Nailer and the Bostitch. Depth adjustment was easy, and once set, no issues marring or splitting shingles. Loading is easy, I used these Grip Rite Prime Guard Max MAXC62872 15 Degree Wire Coil 1-1/2-Inch by .09-Inch Ring Shank, Stainless Steel Siding Nails 1,200 Per box nails. Only downside is, you'll also have to order a quick connect plug for air, which is a little disappointing, oh well."
"Just finished a siding project using this nailer for the the first time."
"Had a few jambs, but I don;t think that is unusual, they were easily cleared."
"It runs fast, and the wife accidentally had a triple tap on her first try (tried to hold and fire it using the bump fire trigger and didn't expect the recoil), but otherwise didn't have a single problem."
"I did not have this problem withe 2" nails (I think the nail alignment stays truer with the 2" nails)."
"The home improvement guys were out of the Bostitch nails so I bought Senco galvanized ring-shank nails. Also, many of the nails the wire would get shot with the nail, and stick out the top of the nail. I wish I'd been able to try a couple different kinds of nails or talk to someone with experience in my particular application."
"My favorite nailer for fence jobs."

Normally when my family does a roof we can easily get more man power (uncles and grand parents no cousins because they dont go on the roof -.-) sadly this time it was only two of us most of the time which lead me to getting this nailer."
"We've only been using this for a short time, so can't comment on how well it'll hold up, but so far it's been working flawlessly."
"My hubby loves his new nail gun."
"Occasionally I would get the double nail strike but I'm pretty sure that was because of my inexperience and not the hammer."

It fires fine and you can remove the rubber to expose the teeth when working in situations where you need it to grip on the subject for nailing. The FINISHING Nailer uses 15 Guage 34 Degree up to 2 1/2 inch. This combo package comes with a bag to hold all of the 4 nailers. Freeman also included EXTRA replicable tips, small amount of oil (I recommend you order a 8 oz or larger oil)."
"SO far so good, i have only used the framing gun, the others feel the same quality, its light enough, and has plenty of power."
"Amazing value for the money."
"Awesome kit, comes exactly how you would expect it, the only problem I have is the framing nailer head was sticky with dried up oil, and required a firm knock to the head to get it to engage, took about 30 seconds to fix, anyways, I bought the porter cable 150psi compressor 6 gal."
"The pinner has yet to see action, but I suspect it will be fine.The only mishap was using the wrong shape of nails in the finishing nailer that caused a terrible jam. After clearing the jam, and using the right ammo, the finishing nailer has worked flawlessly."
"After a slight depth adjustment the framing nailer works like a champ."
"I can fit the 3 smaller guns from this kit plus 3 of the 4 HDX guns (the HDX narrow crown stapler is redundant so it sits on the shelf) into this kit's bag, and bought a separate bag for the framing nailer: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002UCTL7O. Very happy with my purchase."
"I'm only a DIYer so i can't speak to heavy heavy daily use but for our fairly large project it's working incredibly well."

"1- because of its affordable price. 2- it had pretty decent customer ratings(not a bunch of fake ones 😉). 3- it didn’t look too complicated. 4- I’m addicted to Pinterest! ($10 later I was back in business). I was afraid of setting it up wrong, So I decided to watch a few YouTube videos on how to operate it and 15 minutes later I started it up, it worked perfectly!"
"I don't think I got a single jam putting up around 30 linear feet of 3ft beadboard, wainscoting railing, base molding, and a custom doorframe."
"We were worried about buying this nail gun with the price being way less than most."
"I LOOOOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!!"
"It works and the price can't be beat."
"You can't beat the price with this, but you'd be hard pressed to beat the product itself."

"My older pin nailer was limited to 3/4 inch pins so I purchased this one. I just finished making 96 risers for raised track for a model L train and this pin nailer functioned perfectly shooting 1 3/8 inch pins at 80 to 100 PSI."
"Used it today for the first time and drove 3/4" pins into hard maple with no issues."
