I bought this gun sight unseen (usually I go "touch" tools at the H--- D---- first, but they didn't have one) and am so far very pleased. When I took it out of the box, the first thing I noticed was how light it is. It's amazing. Here's my comments:p- The nail magazine is plastic and the housing is magnesium making this thing feel like a toy in your hand. I'm still a little skeptical about the plastic magazine and wonder if it would withstand the daily pounding of professional use (I'm only a heavy duty homeowner).pThe good:p- The oil free engine is fantastic. No oil on your work and no need to remember to oil it.p- Easy to use and maintain.p- Pretty much jam free (I've shot plenty of nails through it already).p- VERY light.pThe bad:p- Only shoots Stanley nails (PC and Senco shoot a different type of nail). Not a problem as I see it - [One home improvement store] sells them in boxes of 5000 (PC sells their nails in boxes of 1000).p- Plastic magazine - Not sure how long it will last.

I have been shopping for a 15 or 16 gauge finish nailer for about six months. This Bostitch is the only 15 gauge angled nailer that I have found to be priced in the straight 16 gauge price range.brThis is the best 15 gauge gun at any price. Just hold this gun in your hand and you will be convinced that you can't buy a better gun, period.brI had narrowed my choices down to the Bostitch, Porter-Cable and the new DeWalt.brThe PC was nice, the price was right and I have had great success with my PC 18 gauge brad nailer, but the 15 gauge PC was way too heavy. Almost twice the weight of the Bostitch.brThe DeWalt fit my small hands like a glove, was very light weight and within my budget (if I stayed with the straight nailer vs the angled model). However, I shyed away from the DeWalt models because the contact trip assembly had too many bends which didn't seem to operate as smoothly as the PC and Bostitch. The display model at a local hardware store already looked like it was on the verge of having problems. I'm not hard on my tools, but one nasty bump, or a fall off of the workbench and you might be out of business.brFinally the Bostitch!brAt less than 4 lbs. it's the lightest in it's class, yet still packs the biggest punch of them all! 400 in./lbs. It only weighs about 1 lb. more than by Porter-Cable brad nailer.brThe finish and quality are second to none. It just plain ol' feels good in your hand. It's balanced so well it feels like an extension of your hand.brI am on a major budget (per the wife), but this gun is definitely worth every penny of the MSRP of $.... So why is it selling for only $...? Either A) it's a "typo", or B) Amazon and/or Bostitch has gone loco. Whatever the reason, my advice is buy this nailer before they discover that they are practically giving it away. I'm sure this gun will be the standard by which all other finish nailers will be measured against. You will not regret this purchase!br"TEN Stars....Final answer"!

I am in the process of remodeling my "old" house. The walls are plaster which have become very brittle and delicate over the years. Hammering to install new molding was out of the question. I needed a gun that was light, powerful, easy to operate, and didn't require oiling so as not to make a mess in my home.I purchased the Bostitch N62FNK-2 nailer (my first nailer) based on the customer reviews and manufacturer information. This gun is absolutely amazing! It delivered everything I wanted in a nailer. I saved money because I didn't damage any of the existing plaster walls, all nails held firmly the first shot...hammering would have been a nightmare!! I was a little apprehensive about using a nail gun since I had never owned one before. It was so easy and so fast!! My only improvement idea would be that the manufacturer offer variety nail packs, so you don't have to buy such large quantities of only one size nail... BUT... Have No fear...Go for it...perhaps the best tool I have ever owned!

I just bought this as my first nailer. Overall, it's great. The design, operation, and fact that it's oil-less make it super simple to use. My first trim project would have taken forever if I had to nail it by hand, thankfully I didn't, I had the Bostitch N62!The only reason I didn't give it 5-stars is I was dissappointed to find that you can only buy FN-style nails in quantities suitable for contractors. Bostitch needs to get with the times and realize that air tools are not just for the trades, but serious enthusiasts as well. The competition is ahead of the game in this respect.

I am a cabinet maker, and have been for more then 20 years, I bought a new bostitch T-36 finish nailer in 1983, to this day that gun has never failed to work, it has never been to a shop for repairs, of any kind. And I am very demanding of my tools, but I also take real good care of them and I do all of my own maintenance on my tools. I bought the new N62FNK-2 a few months ago because of carpo tunnel in my hands, and I needed a lighter gun to work with. All I can say is it is the best finish nailer to date that I have ever used, some of the things I really like about the N62 is it has low recoil in my hands when I shoot a nail, and the weight of the gun, and the balance, it's just perfect. when I'm shooting face frames on cabinet boxes the rubber nose really helps to stabilize the gun. I also like the power that it has, I can shoot a 2 1/2" nail thru 2 1/4" of solid oak and counter sink it a 1/6" at only 80lbs of air, and at a low counter sink setting using a 25' hose, so just think what you could do at 100lbs of air and a heavy counter sink setting, big oak crown mouldings, casings, it's endless what you could do. And for those who say they can't find an asortment of nails for the N62, I can tell you I have not had any problem finding and buying 1" all the way up to 2 1/2" nails for my gun. For me, it's the only finish nailer to have, and over the years I have used alot of different finish nailers out there, because most of my friends are contractors to. So I will keep my T-36 for shop backup, but with my new N62FNK I don't think I will ever need to use it. Thank you bostitch, you have done real good with this one.

From the sound of these reviews, the gun seems to work pretty good for homeowners such. I've been a carpenter for 40 years. I've been using finish nailers for about 20 years. My last nail gun was a Duo-fast. I finally retired it recently, after 17+ years of service. Since the local lumber yard carries Bostich nails, I went with Bostich. I've had the gun 18 months the piston rod has broken 3 times. Replacing it myself still cost me $35.00 a pop. Anybody who has trimmed a door or window or installed baseboard, knows it's immpossible not to hit a screw head or sheetrock nail once in a while. Well, everytime I hit one, the piston rod breaks. It breaks in the exact same spot. It appears to made of cast aluminum or something, instead of hardened or stainless steel. I like the gun am thinking about getting somebody to manufacture a functional rod for me, since Bostich doesn't know how.

I had been researching the purchase of a finish nailer to complete of my selection of air nailers for my home shop (semi pro). Based on my duty cycle requirements and relatively low cost, as well as experience with, I was leaning toward the Porter Cable (I own a PC framer and brad), but after reading several reviews and actually comparing the Bostitch to the Porter Cable up close and personal, it was a no brainer. The Bostitch is so light, compact, so powerful, NO OIL, tooless maintenance. It comes with a nice case (big deal which many people over look). The tool has performed flawlessly. It cost more than the PC but was worth every cent times 10

Well, as usual I was a bit pessimistic about all the hype around this gun. The oil-free engine is a long awaited modification as well as using a sweet Magnesium body, the shock damping traits of magnesium make it a great material to make a pneumatics out of, not to mention the weight savings. The balance is superb and the latch that allows the entire magazine to slide backward, enabling jammed nails to fall out, Brilliant! God job on this one guys you really hit on the head

Some reviewers said their N62FNK jammed and downrated the tool as a result. Their tool's problem may be the brand of nails being used. I own the previous version of this nailer (N60FN) and after purchasing BC nails from Amazon, the gun started to jam frequently. pThe problem was, the BC nail strips were glued at a slightly different angle than the gun required. I noticed this when the nosepiece was opened to clear the jam, and found that the next nail was not fully flush with the front of the gun (either the nail head or pointed end was too far back -- don't remember which). I loaded some Bostitch brand nails and the "next nail" was perfectly flush with the front of the gun.pIf your Bostitch nailer jams, lay a nailstrip of what you are using next to a nailstrip of the Bostitch brand nails sold for this gun. (Alternatively, open the nosetip to see if the next nail's head and pointed end are perfectly flush with the nose piece.) If the two nailstrips are not at the identical angle, switch to Bostitch nails. After changing exclusively to Bostitch brand nails, my N60FN didn't jam again.

I researched a lot of nailers; Max, PortaCable, DeWalt, Makita, Hitachi, Senco and Bostitch.
br /
br /They all have different strong points and from reviews I've read, they're all pretty good. I boiled it down to personal preference. I looked at what features I really wanted and the ones that I could do without along with the compromises I could live with.
br /
br /I was concerned by a previous post regarding breaking the driver if you inadvertently hit a buried solid object, ie. screw or nail etc.
br /
br /I spoke with a Senco rep who said that when they redesigned the 41xp the engineer turned the driver rod around which made it a little more resistant to breakage and during test fires he's hit previously driven nails without incident although he did say it's something that can happen but they don't see a lot of it.
br /
br /I contacted Bostitch regarding their driver. They stated it was made from S7 tool steel and they haven't heard of any problems.
br /
br /I narrowed my choice to oiless of which there are only 2; Senco and Bostitch. If I didn't mind getting an oil version I'd get the Hitachi. I also wanted a light gun, Bostich is the lightest.
br /
br /So far so good! I love the nailer, especially the lack of weight. It's well balanced and has a lot of power. The fine setting adjustment on the nose is unmarked as to which way you turn it to sink a nail deeper or more shallow. The direction of rotation is shown in the user manual. Just think of it the way you tighten or loosen screws. Clockwise - deeper etc.
br /
br /The no-mar pad is black, I'd rather it be clear but I've developed a habit and ability to sight through the hole and position it in the right place.
br /
br /It has good safety features, is well constructed and for the price I think it's a good deal. It's also made in U.S.A. the Senco is made in Taiwan.

Thats what I thought when I picked this tool up! Unbelievably light weight and well balanced and when the Bostitch guy fired this thing into a small piece of wood with a cynder block underneath I was sold! That's something my Senco would never be able to handle! Needless to say my Senco is now a nice trot line anchor! Great job Bostitch!

I recently purchased the Bostitch N62FNK finish nailer (...), for use in several remodeling projects.I found the Bostitch to be a very refined, light and powerful nailer. Using it to put crown moldings overhead - it is light weight and agile, easily getting into tight corners and angles. You can sense the quality of the design and manufacture with the ease that nail strips are loaded, how well balanced it feels in your hand and in the consistancy that it sinks nail after nail in nearly any type wood. I have shot several thousand nails without a misfire or jam.Amazon had the best bottem line price I could find and delivered on time in excellent condition.Regarding nail availability, I have had no problem purchasing nails (Lowes, Home Depot, etc.), the only issue is the quantities of 2500 - 3600 nails per box do not accomodate small projects.

Just purchased another for my Dad. I bought mine three months ago. Arrived on a Friday and by Monday I had installed 5,000 linear feet of baseboard, door and crown moulding. No jams, no drips, no runs and no errors. pIf you are new to air tools, or just nail guns, here's some hard learned advice for you. Don't buy off brand nails, hoses, connectors, etc and try to save a few dollars. You will regret it and probably wind up spending more than if you had bought the quality item in the first place. Nowhere more so than the world of tools is the old addage "you get what you pay for" true. Also, use the 50% rule when selecting a compressor. Buying one that is JUST enough to run the tool you are using will not only shorten the compressor's life and servicability, it will frustrate you and leave you with a bad impression of the compressor or tool because your compressor is running almost constantly. So, do some research and buy a compressor at least 50% more capacity than what you think the minimum is. I'm running this nailer with a 5 HP 25 gallon compressor and it only kicks on every 75 nailings or so. My neighbor has a 2.5 HP 4 gallon dual tank that kicked on every 5th to 6th nailing when he borrowed my nailer. The cost difference is minimal, but the overall satisfaction at the end of the day is worth a ton.pBack to the nailer. To date, over 10,000 nailings and still NO JAMS. It's light weight, easy to get into tight spots and with a little practice you can get good enough to paint you moulding prior to install since this gun will not mar the surface or leave oil marks. It's a whole lot easier to paint several thousand feet of moulding on a set of sawhorses in the shop than it is once it's installed 2 feet over your head. Just use some white putty to fill the very discrete nail holes and you're done.pPROS:br* Oil free (Very big plus)br* Lightweight and sturdybr* Virtually maintenance freebr* No tool needed to set depthbr* Fits into tight cornerspCONS:br* Haven't found one yet. Well, maybe they could include an assortment of 4,000 nails instead of only 1,000 that are all one size.

Overall it is a great tool. It is extremely light and has plenty of power. The only complaint is that the magazine is very difficult to load and the nail clips are very short. This gun takes twice as long to load nails as most other angled finish nailers

This is my first air nailer and bought it to install 3000 sq ft of tongue and groove paneling. After shooting 6,000 nails, I find this gun to be outstanding. I recall only one misfire and I'm not sure if it was the gun or me. I have never gotten tired from handling it, and it has performed near flawlessly. My only suggestion to Bostitch is to incorporate a lock-out for when you run out of nails. Several times I found myself empty after thinking I've driven 5 or 6 nails. My fault. I now own 5 nailers of different types and this one is the one I would recommend, hands down, as a finish nailer. If you want power, this baby has it. I drove nails through hard spots in ash and oak. Completely seated. This is the one! Thanks Bostitch!

Seems after reading the reveiws a few complain of broken drivers. This it seems goes with the nature of the beast having more power than most nailers and a third more than the older models. If you hit a screw ( which happens quite often every day) to me, chances are it might break. I'm a trim carpenter by trade, own 3 of this model and wouldn't even consider another. Show me a gun that can shoot flex to flex mouldings and still sink the head? I live with this gun day in and day out and shoot about 800 nails a day and no problems unless I hit steel. Yes, I've broken my share of drivers, just broke one yesterday on a gun for the fifth time after over a million plus nails, other guns have also broken drivers hitting screws or tecos or hurricane straps. They've been beat to hell, dropped off scaffolds to 20 feet and kept ticking with no other problems, PC's are heavy, don't have the power and the DA nails leave a big hole. I'd continue to buy them as long as there made.Joseph Humel

Was a lemming on this item and went with it based on all the positive reviews. Just finished an entire house with new base and crown - not one misfire or jam. That's unbelievable and I'll take it. It's great for casing and other finishing work also. This is my first "angle" nailer and I much prefer it to the ordinary straight body - the angle allows for much more adaptability in tight spots. Fits well in your hand, it's light, and it's a keeper.

I have used this finish nailer extensively while building a 24 x 40 foot RV cover and while remoulding two houses. This nailer has never failed to fire when needed. It has never jammed either while using it with a campbell hausfield air comp. I run the nailer at 80 pounds with great results. I have just finished remolding my daughters house and shoot an entire box of nails with no problems. I use factury nails 2 1/2" and 2" long.

This is my second (I dropped the first one from 30 feet) N62. I loved my first one. It performed well for the 4 months I owned it. I purchased the Bostich to replace a Senco that I had many problems with. I especially appreciate the light weight and durability....yes, durability!! The magnesium case and plastic magazine performed without a flaw (although I was a bit skeptical at first).The nails sold here on Amazon have worked quite well. I have used 1.5", 2.0" 2.5" and they are less expensive that the lumber yard and the home stores.pI would recommend this unit to anyone interested in a 15 GA nailer.

Researched this to death and bought this model at a Bostitch tool show at local building supply. Wanted this model because it was what local finish contractors had recommended and were using. Bought it when I found it at trade show price. Haven't regretted it once. It's all the pros said it would be.

What a Gun! I love the feel and lightness,It weighs just about nothing. Never has to be oiled either!! Something I never remember to do when on the job anyway.I love it,works great and has plenty of power to drive nails home in all the hardwoods.The depth of drive adjustment is killer! Easy to use,I like finish work even more now that I own this gun.The only drawback is that it ships with a single action trigger,no bump-fire but, I got over that minor problem in a hurry. This is the best finish gun made period! Buy it!

I purchased this nailer to face nail my first few rows of Hardwood floor during installation. I purchased a Makita air compressor (Hot Dog), Bostitch N62FNK-2 Finish nailer and a MIIIFS Floor stapler from Amazon.com. With 10% off it was a great deal. Air compressor, Nailer and stapler work great together. The nailer comes with 1440 2" nails. It works great. No jams and dispenses cleanly till the last nail in the magazine. Depth control Nut is not that effective but I used Air pressure to control depth. It worked. Overall, great tool.

I am finishing a cottage, and have about 1600 square feet of Brazilian Cherry flooring to install. I am a hobbying, not a professional. I had previously done a Brazilian Cherry floor, about 1000 sq ft. I used a Porta Nailer, and for the rows close to the walls, I pre-drilled and used finishing nails, hammer, and a nail set. VERY TIME CONSUMING!
br /
br /I searched for a better way. I came upon 15 G finish nailers. I researched many of the different brands, and decided that I wanted either the Hitachi (gets rave reviews), the Senco (oil free), or the Bostitch (oil free, and the lightest one on the market).
br /
br /I settled on the Bostitch for a few reasons. First, its oil free, a no brainer, which I like. Second, it is the lightest. Last, it has an adjustable exhaust, so you don't have to get blasted n the face.
br /
br /Much to my delight, it shoots like a freakin' cannon, plenty of power to face nail AND countersink into Brazilian Cherry. Brazilian Cherry is about 3 times harder than oak or maple, and is very unforgiving. The Bostitch has plenty of power to get thru .
br /
br /Also, it comes with several different Pads or feet. They are specifically designed for nailing different contours, including one for nailing tongue and groove flooring! This baby was able to shoot the nail into the tongue, at an angle, burying the nail below the surface, the same as you would with a Porta Nailer, with a fraction of the effort! Bye Bye Porta Nailer!
br /
br /This thing is a life saver for anyone doing hardwood flooring, particularly the exotics that are super hard. Worth every penny I spent.
br /
br /I only bought it today, and it has worked fine. I noticed others complaining about it breaking down after time, and I con't comment on that. Super nailer so far! This will make my flooring job go MUCH faster!

This makes finish nailing a delight! Very easily adjustable for various wood types and even better, very very light. I have repetitive strain injury so hammering is a real painful ordeal for me. This removes that obstacle and is light enough to work with all day long.

I purchased this gun and i love it. It has a great feel due to its light weight. When you use this gun you will know that bostich has done their homework on this one. It has all of the features i could ask for and for a great price. As for finding nails forthe nailer my local lowes or home depot has all various sizes but only in quanities of 3500. I dont really mind it at all ill have plenty for other projects.

We used to be able to get an angle trim nailer from bostitch that last a lot better than this one .The new one does a great job of shooting nails but tends to self destruct after quite a few thousand nails.Sooner or later you will probably have to replace the firing pin as it will break off. I wish we could still buy the old verson.Another example of Bostitch outdoing themselves trying to make something lighter and yet more powerful.

This gun was real impressive the first 3 months of having it, barely ever jammed, light weight, good power. then it started jamming more and more. I won't use it anywhere that a good clean finish is needed due to fear of having a big $#* blurting out of my mouth as the nail bends over half way and the piece of work is really marred up.
br /
br /If you can afford to buy a new gun every 5-6 months, then by all means, this is a great nailer, other wise go for one with oil lube and get a good high quality clear oil to put in it.

I've had one for about 3 years. It works well the vast majority of the time. I use it weekly, and enjoy it very much.
br /
br /There are two minor annoyances:
br /1. The nailer jams once or twice almost every session of use. That probably averages to one jam every 75 or so shots. The jams are not difficult to clear, but sometimes result in marring my work.
br /2. The tool puts a dent in the wood beside the nail unless I hold it in a particular way. I have looked for the cause and played with the depth adjustment, but to no avail. The problem is minor, but I wish I didn't have to remember to tweak it just right before I pull the trigger.
br /
br /This is the only finish nailer I've ever owned, so I don't know if level of trouble is normal for them. In any case, I am glad I own the tool.
br /
br /

Bostitch N62FNK-2 worked out really well for me. I purchased this to install 154 sq ft of Bamboo hardwood floor. My first attempt, and it worked better then I thought, the rubber caps (profile tips) on the nail head put the nails right in the groove. I was going to rent a nailer and that was a hassle so I needed nailer anyways and it work perfectly for this tongue and groove installation. This is a well thought out product, I highly recommend it.

I am a carpenter and I own 4 trim guns. One is a porter cable and the rest are bostitch. The porter cable was good for 6months than started jamming and not sinking nails. My oldest is an older model bostitch and never had any trouble. Ihave 2 n62 that hardly ever jam and allways sinks every nail. It is only about 4lbs and is very durable.

This is another great product put out by BOSTITCH! This gun has fired consistantly for me with no problems at all. I find that the features make this tool easy to work with and make on the job adjustments easy. The depth adjustment takes the frustration out of playing with your air pressure to get the correct depth as done with older tools. GREAT Product! Buy it, you will not be disappointed!

Used nailer as soon as I received it. Works great,I always have good luck with Bostitch tools and the price from Amazon .com was unbeatable.

I have been using nail guns for 31 years, and purchased three Bostitch nailers this year alone. All have broken down. The gun worked reasonably well, except that the head kept falling off (like my F33). I shipped it back for repair 6 weeks ago. The parts are backordered. I called Bostitch and was told repeatedly that they did not get involved with their own recommended service centers. If they don't, who does? I emailed customer service and did not get the courtesy of any response.
br /Nails are another issue. They "dimple" pine trim to a greater extent then my other finish nailers. In nailing PVC facia trim, I use stainless steel nails. I had more difficulty getting SS nails for this gun then others I use. Additionally, the nails were exceedingly expensive and hopelessly banged up into short strips upon shipping.
br /Their lack of reliability, lack of customer service and their notorious attempts to design unusual collating angles in order to force retailers/buyers to use only their nails produces a score of "1" from this reviewer. I haven't found a way to use a gun on a job that is at the repair shop or awaiting nails, and that's the starting point for any tool.

I am a carpenter in country nsw and bought the n62fnk2 about three years ago for a little over $500. Use it mainly for attaching mouldings and constructing eaves.in that time i have had to replace the driving pin so many times ive lost count (about 10)in between these time it works great however it not worth the hassel. My thoughts, it crap

I bought the nailer over a year ago and use it every few weeks when I get some finish work. It is light weight and it is easy to clear jams. One day it would not fire. I took it to be rebuilt and had an estimate of $100. The guy called and told me it needs a new firing mechanism and it would cost $189. So I am ordering the Hitachi today.

I received this one last Christmas as a present from my daughter, even though I already owned a Porter-Cable DA250B finish nailer that my wife bought me, based upon my wishes, for my birthday.
br /
br /Even though the two nailers cost about the same on Amazon, I think the Porter-Cable DA250B is around $168.00, after using the Bostitch N62FNK Finish Nailer, off and on, for less than a month on cabinets and oak trim, I bought new packs of nails for my reliable Porter-Cable DA250B, and finished the job using that.
br /
br /The Bostitch nailer would constantly jam after about 15-18 nails, bending nails and leaving dents in the wood that had to be repaired later. It seemed that it had at least 1/4 less driving power than the Porter Cable, which meant that I had to use a hand nail set to seat the nails.
br /
br /Driving larger and longer nails into the cabinet framing was no problem with the Porter Cable, while the Bostitch mostly jammed while trying to do the same thing.
br /
br /Get the Porter Cable model. You'll save hours of time and frustration, and the nails are readily available at either Home Depot or Lowes.

I bought this gun a couple of years ago, and have been using it quite a bit for finish work. It worked well for a couple of years, and then the firing pin began to stick. I took it to a nearby tool repair place, and they put some new kit inside, and it seemed to work again, but, within ~3 months of that repair, it is doing the same thing. Reading other reviews, seems like that may be a common problem. I am considering buying a Dewalt.

Heya, great product. Very handy. Haven't had any problems apart from a couple of jams, but that is not unusual with any other gun. Definately recommend this as Bostitch is a very good quality brand.

This Bostich finish nailer is perfect for the small jobs I have been doing on a new house. Chair rail and wainscoting installations are a breeze with this great tool. Highly recommended. I am using my own air source and it works perfectly.

This finish nailer is just perfect. We have used it for over two years now in the finish carpentry field, have gone through well over a hundred boxes of various length nails, without a breakdown or rebuild. pIt has paid for itself over and over. I highly recomend this gun for the professional, do-it-yourselfer, and homeowner.

Stapler has worked flawlessly thus far. Using it to install Hardiplank. Easy to load and to use. Lightweight. Amazon's price made the stapler cheaper than an off brand.

I've only used a few nail guns, borrowed from professionals I know, so they were top notch. This is the easiest loading and lightest gun I have used with a very wide range of nails. I would recommend this gun to anyone, including my professional friends.

This product is very lite but sturdy. It never misses a beat. Best warranty in the business too! The only thing I would change is the way the nails are loaded. That being said I would buy another just like it if something happened to this one!!!!

Purchased this nailer to help install hardwood flooring. The 15 guage nails are important since they hold much better than the lighter 16 and 18 guage. I also own a Porter Cable 18 guage finish nailer and a brad nailler.
br /The performance of this finish nailer was outstanding - and it is by far the lightest weight tool I own. All of the nails (regardless of the angle) easily counter sunk themselves below surface of the oak flooring for easy filling.
br /If you are interested in a very good finish nail gun - I would highly recommend this model.

This gun is very well made, lightweight and performs great. Has multiple tips for different nailing jobs. Well worth the price!

I bought the Bostitch nailer because of it's light weight even though my son and son-in-law had the Porter-Cable finish nailers and have had great success with them. Am I ever sorry!! It's purchase was a total waste of money! It constantly misfirers. I am using the nailers also purchased from Amazon. Buy the Porter-Cable finish nailer!

I liked the nailer, price, weight, and the "set" function were all nice. Then came time to buy new nails, there were none to be found (not even at the store I purchased it from). I had to return the nailer, because I couldn't find the nails I needed.

I just bought the Bostich finish nailer N62FNK-2. It arrived promptly and in good condition.IT IS SOOOO LIGHT! I had a SENCO sfn II which I recently gave to a freind as reward for a good deed. It was my intention to replace it with an identical unit but after reading the reviews on this page I decided to order the Bostitch. It looks as though the reviews are accurate.Time will tell if it is as reliable as the SENCO. So far I think I made the correct choice.

Nailer is good, but I'm taking away 2 stars solely because they are ripping you off with the nails. I got an excellent deal on a hardly used model then found out that was offset by the fact that I had to buy 3700 nails. You can't even buy an assortment with equal amounts of each size. I needed two different sizes and now own over 7000 nails. Don't buy it new if you are a hobbyist of do-it-yourselfer. The sheer volume of nails will outlast the gun itself!

I haven't actually used this one yet but am eagerly waiting for my next purchase opportunity. My wife convinced me to attempt crowm molding in 2 bedrooms. I hammered by hand on the first one. Not a fun time! So I went to my local ready-rent and asked for a finish nailer. Having never used air-powered tools before I was pretty clueless. The guy gave me a Bostich that I believe was the immediate predecessor of this model. After one shot, I was absolutley hooked!!! I'll never hammer by hand again! I'm now shopping for my own gun and it's obvious that this is the one that I want.pMy only gripe is what has been voiced in a couple of other reviews. I was only doing two 10X12 bedrooms but could only buy nails in huge bulks of 3500. Double bad because I wanted to use 2 different size nails on this project, one for the nailer blocks, and one for the molding. Didn't want to blow that much money on such a small scale project so ended up going with one box of the larger size. All the other nailer brands supplied nails in smaller quantities. I hope Bostich clues in to the needs of the homeowner do-it-yourselfer rather than assuming that all their customers are contractors shooting tens of thousands of nails per yer.
