"You can't beat the price with this, but you'd be hard pressed to beat the product itself."
"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."
"Read the reviews and took a shot(pun intended).This gun worked awesome, way better than a friend's gun I borrowed in the past."
"It was the cheapest thing i could find."
"Now I'm going to be looking around for other projects that need a finish nail gun, because this was so easy to use! Also, it comes with a little bottle of oil, but once you open the bottle, you cannot reseal it, so I'm going to have to find another container to keep the oil in."
"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."
The body of this gun is constructed of die-cast magnesium for low weight and durability, giving it the same feel and dependability as the most expensive guns on the market. The driver blade is constructed of very tough heat-treated one-piece hardened steel. NuMax guns are sold, distributed, serviced, and warranted by a US company, Prime Global Products, Inc.

"WD-40 the trigger right out of the box!!"
"Not as light as I would like, kicks back more than I would like, but it drives big nails straight, which is something I can't do at all."
"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."
The Freeman 4-Piece finishing/framing combo kit is a contractors dream. PFN1564- 15 Gauge 34° Angle Finish Nailer, uses 34 Degree Angle Finish Nails ranging 1-1/4" to 2-1/2" in length.

"Price can't be beat for a set of 4 of the most used nail guns at $183. 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."

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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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."

"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."
