I have the HF 16 ga nailer. 3/4" to 2" nails. My first one jammed
regulary then the cast iron piece that covers the nail feed slot
broke. Got another one no questions asked. I have paneled a 12'x16'
room and it has worked great. I'm sure it will not last like a Senco
etc. but it is fine for my use. Looking at the HF site it seems the
$20 one is 18-19 ga up to 1 3/16 brads. I bought the extended warranty
after the first one died............Jay

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?

I have the cheap brad nailer and the 1/4" crown stapler. I love them
both. They are almost, not quite as good as my dad's Senco nail gun, but
they cost 1/10th the price. My next planned purchse will be the HF
equivalent to the Senco LS-5 which shoots finish nails up to 2". I'll be
buying it as soon as I see it on sale.
