Default Anyone used new B&Q 18V Nail gun?

Noticed an 18V cordless nailer in B&Q today at £50 --- not the sort that
fires thin brads but one that takes standard nails 40mm to 150mm and up
to a 10mm head IIRC.

No magazine --- you load nails one at a time into the jaws at the front
of the tool.

It's MacAllister brand so possibly a rebaged GMC product although it's
not on their website.

Didn't have time to study the manual but I guess it taps the nails in
like an impact driver or an SDS nail driver rather than blasting them in
Paslode-style. There was a depth setting gauge on the side.

Anyone got any experience of this tool or any views on how good/crap it
might be (bearing in mind it's a seventh the price of a Paslode and four
times as much as a decent Stanley claw hammer)?
