Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bostitch HP118K 23-Gauge 1/2-Inch to 1-3/16-Inch Pin Nailer
Customer Review: OK Nailer
Summary: 3 Stars
I was excited to purchase this nailer based on its ability to drive pins in excess of 1 inch. When it arrived I was pleased with the construction of the unit, very well made in the true Bostitch tradition. Upon immediately firing up my compressor to see what the unit will do, I was disappointed to see that it had a problem driving the 1 3/16 inch pins all the way into hardwood, in this case red oak. I tried different settings and even with the PSI set to max the pins would not countersink. I had to use a nail punch to finish the job, which is counter intuitive to why you would use a pin nailer to begin with. Other than that the nailer performs flawlessly, never jamming, etc. And by the way, the 1 3/6 pins are tough to come by. I have not seen them in any of my local home improvement or hardware stores. They are available through Amazon however, so you can stock up there.Customer Review: Ower

Superb for fine furniture work. Woul be a 5 star if it could shoot 2 inch pinsCustomer Review: Performed as expected
Summary: 4 Stars
Did exactly what it was supposed to do right out of the box. Pin holes barely visible and pins are sunk below the surface. Only thing I didn't like is the extra safety trigger. After working with brad nailers and staplers that do not have the safety trigger, I find it cumbersome. Will probably remove it.Customer Review: Problem with the first one shipped
Summary: 4 Stars
The first nailer shipped to me had an air leak and had to be returned. The replacement was received with no problems. The second one worked just fine and came with good instruction and an assortment of pin sizes. I would have given it five stars except for the problems with the first unit.Customer Review: Safety Concerns
Summary: 2 Stars
The Bostitch Pin Nailer is doing its basic function fine. I can only give it a 2 star because it has in my opinion a major design flaw. It is very easy to press both handles simultaneously to initiate the nailing. This makes it very easy to have the nail come out accidentally insuring somebody. I have never seen a nail gun in which it so easy to make a mistake in this way.
