SLP 20, Brad Nailer With Case, Drives Both Slight & Medium Head Brads, For Decorative Trim, Window Beading & Scribe Molding, Requires No Lubrication.
One of the most popular brad nailers on the market, this model from Senco is lightweight, oil free, and perfect for work on fine woods and trim. It has a comfortable foam grip and, at only 2.3 pounds, you'll be able to use it all day without having to worry about excessive arm fatigue.

Overall, this is an easy-to-use unit that should be given serious consideration if you're looking for an everyday brad nailer. --Jonathon Tudor

Awesome nailer:
This is a great nailer and very light. This is the one that Norm from that famous show uses and is why I bought it. I've used it for putting back the kick mouldings after a entire 1st floor hardwood floor install. Never has it got stuck or rejected. I typically use 65 PSI. I used the B&C nails for this - not sure if Senco makes their own. The only thing I wish it had was a small rubber bumper on the nail slot.

Not used to setting nails:
I bought this gun with no research and found it lacking in power. (my other Senco guns work great) It will not drive an 1-5/8 inch brad into pine fully at 80 psi. There should be an adjustment for drive depth like other nail guns.

Been using this gun for 6 yrs now. I wouldnt trade it for the world. Only draw back is the drivers break.
Big Dollars for Average Tool:
I'm a full time finish carpenter, and I've run a lot of nailers over the years. The SLP 20 just makes the cut to be in my toolbox. I keep one around only because it's the only 18 guage 1 5/8" nailer available other than the expensive duofast 4450. I run a separate nailer for each length of brad I shoot- Max for 5/8" (discontinued), Hitachi for 1", Senco for 1 1/2", Max for 2". The 2" capacity guns will shoot 1 1/2" nails, but have beefier drivers to withstand the greater stresses of shooting the longer... more info
