DEWALT D51431 1-Inch to 2-Inch 16-Gauge 1/2-Inch Medium Crown Stapler
The DeWalt D51431 Heavy Duty 1-to-2-inch 16-gauge 1/2-inch Medium Crown Stapler features a lightweight design with enhanced maneuverability for minimized user fatigue. With a cycle rate of 20 fasteners per second (at 100 psi), this stapler provides a speed rating that works as fast as you do. A low air-consumption rating consumes less air per shot, allowing the tool to cycle faster and more consistently, and a clean nose area aids in a more exact fastener placement. A tool-free jam clear feature eliminates downtime from bent fasteners caught in the nose piece, and a tool-free depth adjustment assists in locating an ideal depth setting. Other features include a tool-free 360-degree exhaust that channels air and dust away from the user and a trigger lock-off that allows the trigger to be disabled when not in use. This stapler comes with a pair of DeWalt safety glasses, two Allen wrenches, and a replacement sequential trigger.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Needs Break-in
As received the staples wouldn't feed properly. Talked to DeWalt and "They just don't have any problems with this model. Get it replaced." Gotit replaced but meanwhile the original worked better every time it was used.

The rplacemement arrived- a quick check showed the staple feed area to be extremely tight also. I sent the replacement back & kept the original.

I expect the tool will become superior with a little more break-in time - or I may just take a little sandpaper to the bar over which the staples slide. I'm using Bostich 1/2 X 2 staples. These are galvanized - another brand or non-galvanized staples might feed OK.

Well worth the price
I used to attach metal lathe to sheathing for cultured stone application on a new home. Impressed with the quality and price. Does skip a staple once in awhile but not an issue.
my staple gun dose have a feed problem
I just received my staple gun and I am having a problem with the feed. as another reviewer said I think it will break in and be an exelant gun. I will probably take mine apart and sand the slide so that staples move smoothly through the gun. It seems to only be hanging up near the front, (due to the paint). as for the sequential trigger problem that another reviewer mentioned, my gun came with two different triggers so if you don't like the way it is firing you can change it. All in all I feel it is a good gun for the price. I bought mine from grizzly 99.95 on sale.

SO FAR SO GOOD
January 21, 2012.

If this Porter Cable staple gun works for a very long time without breaking down, I will be most satisfied. I am building a boat and have a way to go.

The gun is very lightweight and easy to handle. It loads easily. I am using 5/8" staples. Press the release, slide the slide open, and load staples. Close the slide and allow it to snap shut. In front of the trigger a wheel allows the operator to set the staple deeper or shallower into the material, depending on use.

I purchased poly line separately and hooked up to a tiny compressor. After shooting ten or so staples the compressor turns on but manages to always keep up.

AUGUST 30, 2012 UPDATE:

After firing 21,000 staples, the gun broke. But to be fair with Porter Cable, I must add that I work with epoxies and use the gun to staple down plywood that has been epoxied. Therefore epoxy gets on and in the firing point of the gun. When purchasing a new stapler, I...

Porter-Cable DA250B 1-Inch to 2-1/2-Inch 15-Gauge Angled Finish Nailer
Porter Cable’s redesigned angle nailer fires standard 15-gauge angled finish nails and brings along a list of improved features and benefits. For starters, Porter-Cable upped the nail capacity, taking nails from 1 inch to 2-1/2 inches. The streamlined body balances the ample magazine in the center of the handle rather than off to one side, offering better balance than most of its competitors. Another nice redo: the angled coupler minimizes interference with the air hose during reloading. The tool’s weight is down, too, from 6 pounds down to 4.2 pounds, thanks in part to a new Teflon cylinder and a high-impact plastic magazine. The magazine loads from the rear with a by-pass pusher you can reach from either side of the tool. A non-marring rubber nose tip (with on-tool storage) will protect your workpiece. This nailer comes with a restrictive trigger, but a bottom-actuated trigger kit is available from Porter Cable.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Could be better
12/9/04 My company owns 3 of these and they really do have a strong shot. We had no problems with getting the nails to set in the toughest materials. Our problems came after 8 mos of use. One of the units began having frequent jams and then started misfiring on a consistent basis. I'm a little concerned because another one of our DA250B nailers has also become somewhat unpredictable and sometimes jams. I definitely recommend the DA250B over the Senco SFN 35 or any Bostich nailers. The Senco SFN 30 and 40 are OK units. My top pick however is the Dewalt Angled Finish Nailer D51275K. All of our crews like this nailer over any of the finish nailers we've used. (Bostich, Porter Cable DA250B, Senco SFN 35, 40, 30). I will say that for the infrequent user either The Porter Cable DA250B or Dewalt D51275K will perform nicely.
Note: We use these finish nailers primarily in oak but sometimes in wood species such as Brazilian Cherry, Mahogany, Rosewood, Maple and other exotic wood...

This tool is more powerful, than the 16 gauge finish nailer
I have been using Porter Cables 16 gauge finish nailer, and their 18 gauge finish brad nailer, for over a year now. It has performed great. I was doing some tongue and groove cedar on a wall, and wasn't able to get a the nail on the 16 to sit down flush in the upper corner of the tongue. I picked up one of these 15 gauge, the new DA250B, and this thing kicks butt. It is substantially more powerful, than the 16 gauge. POW, their is no mistake about it. What that amounted to, was the 16 gauge would not drive the nail all the way into the inaccessable corner of the tongue. When I tried it with the 15 gauge, it drove the nail in further, all the way to clean with the surface, down in the corner. The 16 gauge took it to the extent the tip would go, but the 15 gauge went beyond the restriction, all the way to a flush finish. So you could say, the tongue extends out farther on the 15, like beyond flush. It is not the air pressure, I'm running it on a 6HP 60 gallon tank, or the setting of...
light and right
I just bought this finish nailer this weekend and love it. I was putting kithchen cabinets and trim together and needed to use the whole range of nail lengths (1 - 2.5"). I used the depth-of-setting gauge several times and that was easy. It's got a soft air blow out which you can adjust the direction on w/o an allen wrench. It's light weight, really light, compared to most that I use on the job but feels solid at the same time. The 15ga nails are remarkably strong and that will be helpful when casings help to set jambs. Besides the overall ease of use (e.g. loading and changing nails) I appreciate the single-firing trigger... It is quite a safety feature which does not allow you to fire if you're depressing the trigger just a bit before you engage the plunger: less chance of double firing, less chance of accidents.

Choosing a Pneumatic Nailer
For small household jobs, an old-fashioned hammer is the perfect stand-by. But if you've got a bigger project on your to-do list, then a pneumatic power nailer could be your new best friend. Pneumatic nailers are a great alternative to traditionally powered nailers, because they're capable of providing more power -- and they operate with fewer moving parts, so a pneumatic nailer can take more abuse than its corded or battery-run cousins.

A Word on Air Compressors
All pneumatic tools require a steady supply of controlled, compressed air in order to work properly, and nailers are no exception. Bigger compressors with hardy motors and large tanks generate higher PSI levels and maintain them longer, so you'll probably want a piston-type, two-stage compressor to power your nailer. Smaller or single-stage models are fine for little projects, but if you need a pneumatic nailer, the odds are good that you're looking for some intense PSI and CFM ratings. Sometimes, a pneumatic nailer will come with its own compressor -- or it can be purchased as part of an air tool set.

How Pneumatic Nailers Work
Pneumatic nailers use compressed air power to cock and release the hammer. In order to fire a fastener, a valve opens to let air fill a cylinder -- which has a piston that's driven down hard and fast. This forces the nail out of the gun and into your workpiece. Then the piston recoils, and another nail is loaded.

Important Points to Consider
Check manufacturer's guidelines to find out what pressure (PSI) and volume (CFM) of air will give your pneumatic nailer the best results. Also, keep in mind that any restrictions on the air hose will diminish the tool's performance. Hoses that are very long, contain too much moisture, or are incorrectly sized will reduce air flow. This can prematurely wear out your tool and cause it to perform poorly.

General Features
Most models will feature a rubber nosepiece to prevent scuffing and marring of your workpieces, plus an exhaust system (rear or adjustable) to keep sawdust and debris out of your face and away from your project. Pneumatic nailers usually have an adjustable depth of drive, and depending on the model, they can accommodate nails up to 2-1/2 inches long, in a variety of different gauge sizes. With a powerful enough compressor behind them, they can shoot thousands of nails a day.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

My best nailer
I have used this gun now to do quite a bit of siding, using wood siding and fiber cement trim. I have fired short finish nails and longer 2 1/2 inch nails (capacity). It has never, never jammed and never failed to fire if I remembered to turn on the compressor and to load in nails! There have been times that I drove a longer nail from one corner trim piece of fiber cement 1 X 6 into another and it didn't sink all the way, but it was silly of me not to change to shorter nails, so I don't blame the poor gun!

It's pretty, so you'll be tempted to treat it gently, but that isn't needed... it's a toughy!

Outstanding value and a pleasure to use
I'm building a log home and bought this nail gun to install the tongue and grove ceilings. I've used over 4,000 nails so far and have had absolutely no failures. It is light enough to operate overhead all day and at 80 psi will seat a 2" nail under the wood's surface. It fits the hand well and is fully adjustable without tools. The only negative I can find is that it has no way to hang it up while fitting a board. I use it with a small 2.5 HP, 4.2 CFM compressor and it will shoot 12 nails before cycling the unit. The nails are easily available on-line or at your local big-box store and this gun is not fussy about what brand you feed it. I liked it so well that I went back and bought it's big brother, the Hitachi framing nailer (but that is another review).
great nailer, but pricey
Pros:
-exhaust can be rotated (air in the face is annoying and dangerous)
-button to spray air (very handy for bleeding compressors at the end of the day)
-great weight and balance, extremely comfortable
-jam clearing mechanism is super easy to use (haven't had a jam yet though)
-very consistent depth of drive
-comes with air fitting pre-installed (no need to buy)

Cons:
-don't like the tip style as much as my other nailers
-no lockout mechanism to prevent dry fire

It's worked well for me on furniture projects, and I don't have any major complaints. It's a great nailer (maybe even the cadillac), but I probably wouldn't recommend it to any of my amateur woodworker friends, because they can get something else to do the job at a fraction of the cost (lots of good nailers on the market right now).

Five stars for quality and design, but only three stars for value. In the end, it's still a five star tool.

Awesome Impact

not impressed
the IR285A-6 was a good tool, the IR285B-6 is now made in China and the durability is poor.
