(More customer reviews)First off, let me say that this is an absolutely great tool. As all previous reviewers have mentioned, a coil nailer has a greater capacity which reduces reloading time. If you want to shoot and go, this is the tool to use for framing.
The only negative thing I have to say about the tool, isn't even about the tool itself, but the availability of nails. The tool manufacturer claims the gun accepts 1-1/2" to 3-1/2" nails. However, the availability of nails less than 2-3/8" is nonexistent.
A variety of nail sizes would make this a good all around nailer, but with the limited type of nails available, its use is limited. Want to put up a fence using inch-and-a-half galvanized nails? You'll have to use a different nailer.
For nails less than 2-3/8", you'll have to use a roofing nailer or other stick nailer. As a homeowner, I'd rather not have to have 4-5 nailers in my arsenal if I can get by with 2 or 3.
Again, it's an excellent tool, but with the limited nails available for this gun, think twice about making the purchase. If all you do is house-type framing, then this is the tool for you.
