The current flyer has a Freeman pin nailer for sale for $39.99. I wouldn't mind
having a pin nailer, but would only use it occasionally, so $39.99 is
attractive. Does anyone have one? Is it an adequate tool?


Harbor Fright's every day price is about half that and theirs works
fine. Its one big shortcoming is that it doesn't have a non-marring tip
and the Freeman doesn't either.

The 7 year warranty seems attractive but one wonders if Freeman will
still be around in 7 years--they seem to be a startup--in 7 years they
may be hugely successful or they may be gone.
