amazon.com has the Porter Cable CFFN250T Finish Nailer, Brad Nailer, Narrow Crown Stapler and Compressor Combo Kit for $329, with free shipping. That's not a bad deal by itself, but for a limited time if you buy this combo kit they'll email you a $30 certificate good on a future purchase. The way I read the promotion's fine print, there's no minimum purchase required when using the $30 certificate.
Offer expires 31 May 2006.
A few comments on oft-discussed issues:
I bought this same rig as the two-nailer kit and later added the stapler. I like it a lot and think it's worth the money, although there are certainly cheaper alternatives out there (namely, Harbor Freight).
Some will object to the brad nailer topping out at 1.25" instead 2". In my shop, I find this to be a non-issue. If I need to shoot fasteners longer than 1.25", that's what the 2.5" 16ga finish nailer is for. YMMV.
If you need a pneumatic nailer for trim carpentry, the 16ga is probably going to be a little light. It's great for a woodshop but if you're doing house remodeling work, and especially stair and crown moldings, a 15ga angled finish nailer will be a better choice.
The narrow-crown stapler is handier than I thought it would be. I mostly use it to attach 1/4" plywood backs (shelf units, etc) and have also used it for light upholstery work.
