Bostitch HP118K 1/2-Inch to 1-3/16-Inch 23 Gauge Pin NailerThe tool performs as advertised. Well worth the money.Customer Review: Bostitch pinned it, and I can't see where.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great pin nailer with an almost invisible hole. Be sure to hold the nailer straight, and consider the direction of the grain, so that the pins will not blow out the side of the project, Other than that(my fault), it is excellent.Customer Review: Bostitch quality
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a sweet gun!!! Bostitch makes the best tools for my money. Bostitch has a loyal customer for life.Customer Review: Call Bostitch CS to sink 1 3/16" pins
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes , there is a problem with driving 1 3/16" pins but Bostitch will send you an easy fix, a new driver/piston. I am surprised that no one called them and posted this . I always contact the manufacturer with any issues first, some are very helpful and others are not. Great CS from them, as I always have had from them, and an other wise very well made compact driver now will work just fine. As far as using 2"pins, they are too long for this gauge in real wood[18 ga.2"brads is even pushing it] ;they bend easily and can "blowout" of the wood[follow the grain] when using to be really useful anyway but the 1 3/16" is perfect for shoe base mld. for flooring installs and no filler is really needed. 1" pin guns limits the usefulness as other brands have as their longest length. 4 stars for the tool as is, and add 1 star for Bostitch being there to fix their problem making the gun excellent now.Customer Review: Disappointing. Doesn't countersink pins.
Summary: 3 Stars
This is my first pin nailer and for the most part I'm happy with it. My only complaint is that it doesn't countersink pins. They stay even with the wood surface. Even though the pins are tiny you can still see them from up close. I do finish carpentry work and it would be nice if the pins got driven below the wood surface so that I could touch up the holes. My buddy has a Porter Cable 23 guage pin nailer and it does countersink the pins. If I had to do it over I would get the Porter Cable.
