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

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.

Thanks, everyone. I won't jump on the Woodcraft deal. The next time I need a
pin nailer for light duty, I'll try the HF one. What's to lose?

I'm actually kind of surprised by how useful some of the HF tools can be. I've
bought a number of them for one project use. The ones I've bought were
adequate. Not fancy, not durable, not pro grade, but they got the job done
without fuss.
