The only problem I've encountered with the nailers is that they dont'
want to work at under 55psi. *I'm willing to bet that most other
brands won't, either, so it's not a real problem.

Actually I have an HF Pin nailer and it works fine. I also have an off
brand 18ga. brad nailer and 1/4" crown stapler that I picked up on
clearance when Woodworkers Supply went out of business. The only
problem I have ever had with either of them is that the brads
sometimes jam when loading partial strips. Otherwise they have served
10+ years without a complaint.

Sometimes it isn't the tool, it is what you are using with it. I only
use Porter-Cable or Bostich brads, staples, or pins.
