I'm considering getting a Harbor Freight framing nailer. I usually buy
higher-end stuff, but I need this just for the occasional project, and
don't
want to outlay $250-$350 for a Senco, Hitachi, etc.


My question has specifically to do with safety. Is there any reason to
think the chance of injuryt would be greater with a HF nailer than
a better quality one?

Something else to consider for occasional use, a Palm Nailer. It is a bit
slower but takes "any" sized nail, is cheaper, and uses bulk nails.

I guess I'm with Ken. Other than the obvious case of a confined space where
a palm nailer is very handy, I can't imagine choosing one over a hammer
where you have good access.
