Older Cousin is a Great Nailer:
I have owned the earlier version of this nailer for about 9 years and it is a good machine. I looked at the owner's manual for the BN125A and it appears to be nearly identical to mine. I bought it to do a basement finish and have subsequently used it for several furniture projects, finishing our son's new house, our daughter's closet cabinets and other jobs. After thousands of nails of varying lengths, I could probably count the number of misfires on one set of fingers. The only wear seems to be a little... more info
Wonderful brad nailer:
I have owned this tool for about 3 years. During this time I have used it to build furniture, install various sizes of trims and mouldings, and construct a number of craft projects. This is an exceptional tool, I have shot thousands of brad nails with it and it has never once jammed or failed to perform perfectly.

Best Light Weight Nailer:
Had bought a bargain nailer for doing trimwork around the house. It kept jamming and finally gavwe up the ghost. Price buyers are twice buyers! I didn't want to spend alot to be disappointed again. I wasn't. This nailer is smooth and easy to operate. Only drawback is the max length of the nails is 1 1/4".
Best Porter Cable nailer (not a compliment):
Brad nailers must be the easiest guns to manufacture because the rest of PC's guns are unrefined. The brad nailer fires very smooth shots and never jams. I find myself using it for sensitive crown mouldings and casing on the jamb side. PC's finish nailer and framing guns are rough and aggressive which makes it easy to damage your project. This brad nailer is a good gun for its price. I recommend stepping up to the gun that can fire up to 2" pins. You'll probably finding yourself limited with 1.25" pins.
