I am a trimmer by trade so keep in mind I shoot 300 nails a day with this gun, so some problems might be purely wear related. It is a descent gun, we have 75+ of them at work and they are descent except for a few very common problems. 1. If you have one of the first ones off the line the triggers have a tendency to not work correctly. The safety doesn't keep the gun from firing, so in other words you can pull the trigger and the gun will fire without pushing it against anything. There was a recall for the triggers, so I am assuming the more recently built ones are fixed.2. We have had problems with the guns not setting the nails completely. It happens in about 10% of them. When the gun is pushed against the wood, the tip of the gun won't go all the way against it, doesn't matter if you have the depth set to the deepest setting. This can be fixed by grinding down the safey and the nose a little bit. 3. Sometimes the gun won't shoot a nail. It will fire, but the firing pin will go between the nails and the casing. I am not sure if it is the nails not sliding ahead far enough or something else. This could be the brand of nails. But overall nothing that would keep me from buying another one.

I own a small home improvement/remodeling company and own many fine tools that I depend on everyday to make a living. I think this brad nailer is a BIG joke, it does NOT countersink nails, jams quite frequently, looks cheap and is not comfortable to grip due to the way the foam overlaps itself on the handle.

I've used this gun in residential construction for over two years. Never had any problems with triggers, nail depth, etc that other reviewers have expressed. I love this gun and often find myself loaning it out to others I work with as their models have proven unreliable or don't have the nail length capacity that this one has. Overall, this has been a great tool that has seen a lot of action and has yet to fail me.

I have owned this nail gun for 3 years and drove in over 20,000 nails with it. It has never jammed or misfired. There is very little recoil and the depth guage is very easy to adjust. I like the fact that it can drive nails up to 2 inches. Just don't expect to drive a 2 inch nail all the way into a thick piece of hardwood. This nail gun works great with Porter Cable 18 Guage Finish Nails. I won't hesitate to buy another one if I ever lose this one.
