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.



Actually you should buy what suites you. I world not buy Porter Cable or
DeWalt, I prefer the more refined and dependability of Senco, Bostitch, and
Grex although I also own Craftsman which has performed admirably every time
I have used it in the last 15 years and I do have the HF brand for
occasional use. Perhaps some day you will move up from PC or DeWalt. :~o
