Customer Review: Crazy Not To Have This Gun
Summary: 5 Stars
I cannot tell you how pleased I have been with this gun, but I will try. I own quite a few nail guns, a lot of Hitachi and some Bostitch, but this is one of my favorites. Although I cannot write about its durability, I can tell you that this gun does a fantastic job fastening wood to concrete. I was skeptical to say the least about how this gun would perform. There are not a lot of concrete nailers out on the market, but those that are, have a lot higher price tag. So I contacted PNI and asked them if this gun would really fire nails into concrete. I was told that they had tested the gun and had good luck with concrete up to 20 years old, beyond that they had some splatting of the concrete.
I decided to purchase the gun, and if it turned out to be garbage I would just take advantage of Amazon's generous return policy. I ordered 2 1/8, 1 3/8, 1 1/4, inch T-nails and promptly went to work on my brother-in-laws 2 year old basement. We were able to quickly attach the bottom plate to the concrete floor and found that the nails held much better than those applied via a ramset, and were way better than the Tapcons we had purchased.
In fact when we cut out the bottom of a door way, we had accidentally misplaced one of the nails in the 2x4 and we had to use a crowbar to pry it out.
The next job required me to apply strips of 1x3 to an old fire place chimmney, the back side of which had been plastered and paneled over in the past. Previous carpenters had a bear of a time working with this wall. I was able to quickly fasten the strips with the 1 3/8 inch T nails and provide a perfect backing for the drywall. I had originally used 2 1/8 inch T-nails, but they didn't always fully sink, and were probably overkill.
Most of the time this gun sinks the nails, on the rare occasion it doesn't, I am probably using the wrong sized nails or am getting sloppy with my procedure. For the most part though, the hardened nails are tough enough, for me to finish driving them in with a regular hammer.
The single trip/bounce trip works well, and I have had no jambs.
The gun also comes with a nice case, containing oil, proper wrenches, and nipple.
I have paid more for staplers and finishing nailers, the speed that this gun affords you, for this price, is way better than ramsets or tapcons. Gun also works nice for attaching lumber without splitting wood, since the T nails are thinner, but stronger.
