I got the $20 HF 18 ga on sale yesterday. It's the version that
handles up to 2" brads. Works great when hooked up to my 14 galllon
air tank and no noise from the compressor! It came with 2000 nails
(1000 1-1/8" and 1000 1-1/2") in the box, which I hadn't expected. I
picked up another 1000 2" nails and it shoots them all just fine.
Sure can't complain for the price. HF also had a brass quick coupler
set on sale for less than $2, which makes connecting and disconnecting
a snap. Going into that store is like going into a toy store for
adults!!!

For the price, you just can't beat it. I wouldn't get any precision
tools at HF, or anything I had to rely on to produce perfect corners
or cuts, but it isn't like an air nailer is the most
precision-critical tool in the shop or anything. So long as it shoots
where you aim it and you can adjust the depth, the HF works just fine
for most woodworkers. Why pay for a Senco when you don't need to?
