was on sale at a local store for $65 something. A 20% off coupon (they
seem to email these out every week now) lowered it more.

Shot few hundred 3 1/2 nails (they sell 2000 count packs at the store,
another 20% off applied) and so far it's been rock solid, zero issue
performer and a great time saver. Feeding it from HF's own compressor
I've had for a few years.

Now, for $30 bux more you can buy a similar-looking 6-in-1 nailer that
supports larger variety of nails (21,28, 34) - might be a better
nailer for some, if you can get certain type of nails less
expensively. But since I have not tried this particular model (
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=98751
), can not say much about it.

Interesting. I had a 18 gauge stapler, and that one worked very
poorly. I do have a project where a framing nailer woud be handy, so
your info is very timely.

Don't forget to drop few drops of air tool oil into it every now and
then.
Prolly every day of heavy use .

I bought a couple HF Framing nailers to do a small project. When the
project got delayed halfway through I set the nailers aside. When I got
back to it both had lost their head gaskets. I get new gaskets, and again
set them aside before finishing the project... when I got back to the
job... again both head gaskets were bad.

I bought a Rigid framing nailer, and have used it off and on for over a year
with no issues. Just plug it in and start shooting.

As I mentioned, I had a similar experience with a HF 18 gauge
stapler.

Bought a Senco 15 gauge stapler (I crate a lot of things and a stapler
is very useful), and this Senco works great, every time.

Are these molded gaskets, or something flat where you could make your
own out of better material?

Don't know. Saved the fittings and threw the nailers in the dumpster.
