The ergonomics are great--everything you need to adjust is easy to access and the LED lights are great! This nailer takes a little getting used to as there is about a 1 second delay from when you pull the trigger to when the nail is driven, but, so far it has been great and I would highly recommend this cordless nailer!"
"I have taken up woodworking (mostly bookcases and stuff like that) and have gradually been expanding my power tools. This is going to be a total game changer for me...I plan on using this to join peices together then going back to pre drill and screw etc."
"It's great not to have to wait for the A.C to build up pressure and not hsving to lug around a hose."
"Wished it'd bought a battery operated nail gun sooner, and this one works well."
"Works great for small stuff like molding paneling."
"This worked great and was able to penetrate wood and the plaster wall behind it."
"This is a very handy and convenient tool."
"Works great for installing trim."

"Anyway, I have had this thing for several months and I have used it to help build a turtle trap for my fish pond, several smaller cages for chicks, a chicken house/lay house, and, more recently, I boxed in one end of a three-sided cattle shed to make a larger chicken roost area. It can get frustrating when you have sunk hundreds of staples while wrestling with chicken wire that wants nothing more than to wrap itself back into a roll while you are on top of a ladder."
"I use this to attch my watercolor paper with gator foamboard together."
"I bought this staple gun for a small reupholstering project and it worked perfectly for it."
"great tool for our DIY projects, which right now is building a greenhouse."
"Very handy, should have bought it long time ago."
"Solid product that helped me with a hobby item I was working on."
"I love this!"

"You can't beat the price with this, but you'd be hard pressed to beat the product itself."
"It was the cheapest thing i could find."
"I don't have much experience with other brad nailers, but this seems like a good value."
"I needed to purchase a universal fitting for my air compressor that would accept this style on the tool."
"I only got this about a week or 2 ago, but I have already fired hundreds of nails through it."
"I've only used this on one project so far and it's awesome for the price."
"I tried a piece of really hard firewood, i think it was oak, and it didn't pierce it.. but all of the normal wood pieces I used, it worked great."

($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."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Have run about 4000 nails through it so far."
"Absolutely one of the best things I have ever bought and I am so excited to put it to more good use on future projects!"
"It's built like a tank and operates very smoothly - was able to dial in the perfect pressure for 3.25" nails quickly."
"This displaces the exit point for the nail more than I'd like, which means that the nail is traveling through the air a bit before entering the wood. 2) Again, not the fault of the tool, but it uses 21-degree collated nails, and it appears that the big-box stores are moving more towards 28 and 30-degree tools, limiting the supply of nails. I observed that Home Depot seems to feature 21-degree nailers in their tool rental department, so they had a good supply of Hitachi nails for sale there in the rental area, but not in the hardware department of the store."
"I just finished my shed and have completed a few other projects using this gun. I would DEFINITELY recommend buying this for any of your framing nailing needs."
"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."
"I use it for putting up fencing, I run 22 degree full head nails in both 2.5 inch and 3.25 inch length; never a miss fire."

Find Best Price at Amazon"This nail gun worked well, the way it ships some people mentioned that you can have double or even triple shots, I did experience this."
"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."
"Not quite 5 stars because it loses the nail feed periodically, maybe 4 or 5 times per full roll of nails and I was using Bostitch brand nails specifically recommended for this nailer."
"The original trigger that I use is awesome, I can either hold the trigger down and just apply pressure with the tip to nail (my favorite) or I can simply take my time apply pressure then pull the trigger."
"Just finished a siding project using this nailer for the the first time."
"The only issue I have was that the nail set dial has no numbers or gauges of any sort."
"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 started out with Senco nails top nailing when I couldn't get the side nailer in. You have to set it to 6 when nailing hardwood floor."
"My last one gave up on me because I oiled it and it says right on the gun do not oil, it was my mistake but I will still continue to buy this nailer for as long as they continue to make them."
"The rubber on end of nail gun will not stay on however."
"The quality of this 16g nailer appears to be consistent with the many other Dewalt tools I own."
"The case with the nailer plus 3 boxes of different lengths of nails inside is still lighter than my compressor and all I have to do is grab it and go."
"Nail gun does its purpose well."
"The ability of this gun to take the same 18v battery as my other cordless DeWalt tools is what really sold me on this."

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."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I am very happy with my flooring hammer."
"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."

"For reference on how hard the material is, I've bought five different 18 gauge staplers to blind nail 1 1/2" staples to hold up 3/4" t&g maple."
"Used it today for the first time and drove 3/4" pins into hard maple with no issues."
"I know it's a safety thing, but i really want to rig this up so i don't need that trigger."
"This Pin nailer has saved me so much assembly time it is well worth the $ spent and would purchase another one if it where to stop working."
"This was a present for my wife."
"Has replaced my 18g pin nailer, as my go to finish gun for 90% of finish projects."
"Tested it on some MDF and hard maple and noticed right away it just doesn't set the nails well. We work with these guns all day, every day in a professional environment with 3 installers and 5 shop workers so we have a lot of experience and found there is a clear difference between this and the Porter Cable's nail setting capability."
