Harbor Freight has their 18 ga brad nailer on sale for $20 until
Christmas Eve. Granted, 20 bucks is not much to risk, but I was
wondering if anyone had any feedback on how well it works? My plan is
to use it to attach some cedar paneling to closet walls and I figure
to get thru the paneling + sheetrock and into the wall studs will take
about a 2" brad, which I think is the limit of this particular nailer.
Comments?

A friend of mine has one and it works well, but the metal in them is
pretty low quality. He had a nail jam and it broke the plate at the
front of the nailer. He just made up a new one out of a piece of steel
and it works fine, but it did make me wonder a bit.
