Porter Cable 18ga 5/8" - 1 3/8" pin nailer in like-new shape . List price
$70-$80 , plus shipping .
Pawn shop price 20 bucks . This is a sweet finish nailer , one of the newer
models with adjustable depth stop . Now all I need is a 16ga that'll handle
2 1/2" pins and I'll be set .
I stopped at the place to ask if I could hang a flyer , Greg (owner? not
sure) had this one hangin' on the wall . Been tradin' with these folks for
several years , I bought my lathe from them . Nice guys , and they always
take good care of my tool needs - if they got what I need .



What is a pin nailer? I have a Porter Cable brad nailer and my mom, who loves having her
two boys work on her house has a Bosch finishing and framing nailer. Well she owns them,
my brother seems to always have them at his house.

I also have a PC roofing nailer. I bought it when my brother was building a house. I
figured my house would need a re-roof down the road so I bought early. I replaced my
roofing with steel. Maybe I'll get to use it re-roofing the garage someday.
