Afterthought, after reading other posts: Buy a brand name like Porter
Cable, DeWalt, etc. Avoid HF and the like. In the long run, you will be
thankful.


See refutation in my other post. HF rules. No problems.

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.



If you like ****, buy it, and use it. I've got no problem with that. Some
day you'll work up to quality tools.


If you're making your living with a nailer then perhaps there's some
noticeable difference between the expensive brands and Harbor Freight,
but for the average hobbyist or homeowner Harbor Freight air tools work
fine.

Do you actually own a Harbor Freight nailer or are you trying to justify
your own overspending?
