Nice gun and very inexpensive:
I think Makita has a higher priced model than this one but I am satisfied with this one. I 'ditto' the other reviews on it's lightness and power. It seems to be more powerful than my Max expensive gun that shoots wire collated nails (Bostich types). I like the paper collated Senco type nails. My old Senco was also about as powerful as this one but not nearly as light. There is so far after a few monthes one downside: This gun doesn't have a jam removal opening at the top of gun where the nail is shot... more info
Nice Tool:
Good quality nail gun, I've used Paslodes the pass few years, I'm sick of running to the store for fuel. This is a nice choice.
Very happy with purchase:

After landing approximately 2500 nails into the shed, there were maybe 5 nail jams -- mostly due to the type of nails I was using. There are two things that I like the most about this nailer:
- it's weight: It is fairly light compared to other models out on the market
- the option of trigger nailing or bump nailing with the flick of a switch! Very nice. After getting used... more info
Awesome lightweight framing nailer.:
A few minutes in the tools crib and I found an adapter from Husky about a $1.50 located near the air compressors and 2,000 count box of GripRite GRSP12DZ for $19.97 - now off to build some walls. The gun performed flawless through the first case of nails. No misfires and a LOT less kick back that my buddy's Senco. This gun is truly a one-hand use tool, biggy in my book. The turn style impact gauge is a sweet deal, after having "real green" pine lumber for the wall studs. Some other nailers that... more info
