Straight Finish Nailer
This is my first experience with a nail gun and never again will I hand nail trim if I can help it. This product operates as claimed, easy to set up, takes any kind of 1 to 2 1/2 inch nails. Easy to adjust the nail depth by adjusting the pressure on the air tank, or manually on the gun itself. Freeman PFN64 16 Gauge 2-1/2-Inch Straight Finish Nailer
I have had this item for 2 weeks now. Using it to install some 1" oak trim. I had been using a Bostitch 18 gauge brad nailer previously and they just would not always penetrate and if I had to pull one out they always broke off. This gun puts the nails in all the way. I have not had a single misfire yet. Very happy with this purchase. It would have been nice if it came with a case but that is a minor complaint.
I was very happy with this nailer. Being the first nail gun that I was going to use I called the company for advice and they were very helpful. Did my project and it was all they said it would be. I would certainly buy another one of their products.
I'm pretty particular about buying tools and usually opt for high-end models. But when I need a tool for occasional use, I'm willing to lower my standards. I priced 16 gauge finish nailers at the big box stores and couldn't justify paying $200 - $300 for a pro model. Took a chance on this model and I'm thrilled.
Instructions were clear and easy to follow. Loaded a couple nail strips, hooked it up to my compressor and dialed in an air pressure (using the recommendations from the instructions) that gave me good depth results. A few minutes later, all of new trim pieces were securely nailed into place. The trim didn't move and I was able to keep excellent alignment even on my outside corner joints.
One of my best tooling purchases in recent memory. Based on the fit and finish, I expect to get my money's worth and then some.'
