WHAT'S THIS?

Very Visible Viewing Window, But Bump-firing Is Possible
Wood Magazine, Volume 162, 2005-04

The reviewer noted more high points than low points for this nailer. One of the high points is that the nailer rarely jams, even when driving at low pressure into steel. A mechanism prevents the nailer from firing if the magazine is empty, which saves wear on the tool. The low/empty magazine indicator was the best of any nailer tested: the viewing window is large and has a red pointer indicating the exact number of remaining brads. Another plus is that a no-mar tip comes with the nailer and also has a storage location on the tool itself. Some low points are that it is easy to override the sequential-fire mechanism to cause the nailer to bump-fire, and there is no drive-depth adjustment on the tool. For $260 one can purchase a 3.3-gallon compressor and hose for this nailer.
