I woulda bought the Bostich, but my brother was buying, so.....did two
roofs with it and it lived. A bit fussy on nail coil quality to begin
with, jammed frequently , but once it was figured out that it wanted
nicely coiled nails it went away. PErhaps it was happenstance.

Didn't like the variance in depth, but I think that is operator related.

Length of nail adjustment is hokey

likes to be well oiled


NO parts can be had for ANY HF guns period. Use it and throw it away.


I have a regular HF nailer. I have a few HF powered tools, Ac and air. The
only thing that broke, was a cheap jigsaw, only to loose Screw that held
the table on. I have problems with tire inflators, hose goes bad fast,
chinese rubber I guess. I bough a cheap handsaws and stuck a diamond saw,
also HF, and cut cement with loads of dust. Thing is rusting sitting
outside. I think It still works good. Darn multipurpose tool, been using it
replacing flooring. Dirt cheap. Need to stick a new blade on I after
cutting through some nails. Best thing I ever bought.
