Tools and Hardware Reviews of Senco FP25XP 18-Gauge 5/8-Inch to 2-1/8-Inch Brad Nailer
Customer Review: Great Gun
Summary: 5 Stars
Great gun great price at coastal tools 145.Customer Review: Great Nailer
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used this nailer for about six months, on a variety of projects from crown moulding to attaching drawer bottoms, with great results. It never jams and it has more than enough power to sink two inch nails into every kind of wood, including maple. I also like the fact that it's oilless because it eliminates the possibliity of soiling the wood, and I don't have to remember to oil the gun.BTW, the February 2004 issue of Fine Woodworking had a review of finish nailers which you may want to read before making a purchase decision. However, the reviewer did not indicate which nailers are oilless and which require oil. If that's important to you, check before you buy.
Customer Review: Great brad nailer, if brads are the right thing
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used this nailer to drive brads up to 2" in hardwood and softwood. No jams, and a mis-fire is rare. Lightweight and easy to use. BUT...I bought this to use for trim work, and I've concluded the 18 ga. brad just doesn't have adequate holding power to pull material together and keep it that way. The brad heads are very small, and they pull through easily. I thought I could just use more of them to compensate, but that doesn't solve the problem. In harder woods like yellow pine, the thin brads sometimes follow the rings and blow out the side of the piece rather than going in straight. A brad nailer is OK for light duty or just holding the piece in place for you while you hand drive some real finish nails. But for trim work I would recommend a 15 ga. nailer. I would buy the Senco 15 ga. nailer as my first nailer if I was starting over.Customer Review: Great gun!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this gun over a PC for several reasons. 1-I had a bad experience with a PC on my fathers house. 2-Senco's reputation. 3-I called Senco and the woman who took my questions owned the tool and used it. I used this gun to help remodel my living room and I am greatly pleased. It feels good in my hand and does what I need it to do. I will soon be buying a 15 or 16 gauge nailer and will buy a Senco. I also got a great picture of my 4 year old son helping me with his little tykes nail gun!
Customer Review: I love my Senco
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned the Senco 18 bradnailer for almost two years and I love it. I am a hobbyist, so I don't use it as often as a professional, but I've probably shot 400-500 nails with it easy and maybe more. I've only had it jam once in all of its use.
(I must say clearing the jam wasn't a simple as it could have been. I had to remove a couple of hex-head bolts and in the process a spring in the safety trigger came out. It could a few minutes and an extra set of hands to get the spring back in place while I replaced the bolts.)
I don't know how I ever lived without my nailer-- I'll never go back to driving finish nails by hand!
