It is very nice to work with. It is light and compact so fairly good in tight places. This nailer works just great. Tried 3 different size nails and works like a charm.
I did have some difficulty with the Paslode brand finish nails in that they are fairly soft and can deflect off dense surfaces like OSB. The nails would sometimes go through the oak tongue, bounce off the floor and back up through the face of the oak. I own 2 of the Paslode finish nailers, a straight and an angled nailer. I ran into this problem when installing an oak hardwood floor, as when you run out of room for the floor stapler up against a wall you have to use finish nails. Decreasing the angle of penetration was enough to cure this. Both have worked extremely well and are extremely reliable and consistant. It is lightweight enough to use overhead without difficulty, as I did nailing crown-molding, and powerful enough to drive into solid oak when woodworking.
Now that I'm on my own working as a Cabinetmaker, I love not having a compressor and hose to deal with.just grab and go--in the shop or in the field. I used the finish nailer years ago working as a finish carpenter, and loved it then. Get yourself one of these. I love the Paslode cordless products. I've been using a cordless framer for over a year with no problems.
COMES WITH NICE CASE AND BATTERY CHARGER, BUT YOU HAVE TO BUY YOUR FUELS CELLS AND NAILS SEPARATELY. THE DEWALT NAILER WITH 18 VOLT BATTERY WEIGHS JUST OVER 8 LB., BUT THIS PASLODE WITH A 6 VOLT BATTERY AND FUEL CELL WEIGHS JUST OVER 4 LBS. THIS NAILER IS FANTASTIC. WHOEVER DESIGNED THIS TOOL IS A GENIUS. GET ONE AND YOU'LL BE LOOKING FOR THINGS TO NAIL. JUST CHARGE UP YOUR BATTERY (TAKES ABOUT 2 HOURS FOR FULL CHARGE) AND PLUG IN A FUEL CELL AND SOME 16 GA NAILS AND YOUR GOOD TO GO. BATTERY WILL LAST FOR 4000 NAILS AND FUEL CELL LASTS FOR ABOUT 1200 NAILS.
Excellent product. This nailer is easy to maintain and operate.It saves so much time working on projects that would be near impossible to do with a hammer. I've used this to install complex wall and ceiling trim, wainscoting and just general use.
