never buy a dewalt brad nailer, they are lousy. Use porter cable, they are nearly impossible to break.

[Chris G]

Nintendo manufactures those, right?

No.

I bought one that was refurbed, and resold it.  Had more hassle with jams and leaving marks than it was worth.  Coulda been a bad refurb, but I haven't heard any good comments about their nailers. 

Some good brand names:  Senco, Bostitch, Porter Cable, Paslode

I dunno if Paslode makes a nailer that's compressor-driven, but their hose-less nailers are quite convenient in many situations, although rather pricey. 

I like Senco and Bostitch, in that order (although I've actually had better luck with Bostitch).  Others may think they suck based on their experiences.

Nintendo manufactures those, right?

Yes, but it's ok.  They're not broken, only "non-functional".  See, you can still smack the nail with the side of the nail gun, so it works, right?

Personally, I find I almost never use my brad nailer. In fact I rarely use any of my pneumatic tools. But the one that gets used most often is my Grex 23-gauge pinner. Great holding power when used correctly, very small nail holes, and it's the least problematic of all my pneumatic tools.

That's what I want - an Asplode Nailer.

[NiteWalker]

The brad nailer to get.

senco is expensive and they constantly jam up. i broke mine with a hammer it made me so angry.

they do and they are pretty decent guns

[ChadTower]

I wonder what Brad did to piss everyone off like that.

Now THAT'S irony!

The only Paslode's I see around my area are the "cordless" models.  Used one once for some roof work that would have s-u-c-k-e-d to have to drag a hose up behind and worry about tripping and falling (and I'm not a big fan of heights to begin with), and another time inside a 2-story foyer for some crap bracing.  I dunno why, but INside being 2 stories up seemed way higher than being on a roof.  Either way, glad to have had use of that nailer.

how is senco being a crappy nailer ironic? smashing a jackhammer with a sledgehammer would be a much better example

I've used nailers on the roof with the hose, just be careful, and you won't fall.

Hammer?  Nai.....ahh forget it.  The irony is directed elsewhere.  I can't believe ME of all people "gets out" more often around here.  I hope this doesn't mean I'm growing up

I thought you were old enough to be considered grown up 45 years ago.
