Default 23-ga pin nailer redux, or the way it used to be ...

.... and still is, if you can spend the $$'s.

After using one belonging to a friend who runs a local cabinet company, I
purchased the rather pricey Omer PR18, 23-ga pinner:

(Basically a calculated decision to buy European (Italian) with a company
that still knows how to make quality tools, rather than with the politician
pandering MBA's running United Corporations of America's woodworking tool
businesses today ... and besides, it shall nicely qualify as a write-off
thanks to Section 179 of your UCA friendly tax code)

.. and what the hell: business is good, for a while.

You have to see/feel/heft/use it to really appreciate the absolutely
astounding difference between this tool and the "outsourced" crap that is
currently being foisted on the average, gullible American woodworker.

If it needs servicing or parts, I hope it doesn't have to be sent off to
Italy to get them. Other than that consideration, it *does* look like a
really decent pinner.

Readily available online from at least two US locations, and from Omer's
Canadian office.

If a Lexus is "decent" piece of machinery, you can color this tool with a
much brighter brush.

Nice looking unit but was surprised to see it only had pins up to 3/4" - My
PC goes to 1" and there is another brand that I cannot remember that goes to
about 1 1/4" - The extra length does come in handy sometimes. . .
