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 useI'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 priceyPros:
-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.
