Habor Freight Coupon?

[kmk]

duffle bag seemed more useful than other freebies they offered.
Anyway, I got order confirmation and everything. But when I called I was told
the nailer is backordered until July!. Lets see. I really need it in next few days.
If I'm not going to get this one, I'm going to get PC 100. HF has another model for $60 but not going to try my luck with HF paying $60.

Looks like the nailer is out of stock at HF. Backordered until July.. So, I ended up getting similar cheap version on ebay for $24 including shipping. Actually, the nailer was 99 cents. Shipping was $22.50. Should be comparable to HF version in terms of quality.

23 gauge pinner from ebay (no name brand)

Received the 23 ga pinner today purchased from ebay. Nailer was so small! It came with two strip of 100 pins. I fired several on the scrap mdf sometimes continuously. No problem!. It didnt jam or something. I will try it on hardwoods in next few days...

Now to issues...

1. It came with 1 page instructions and it was very vague. No instructions on how to change pins.. what to do with two rubber rings there were in the box.. Why do I need to use the alan screw wrench that was included in the package etc.

2. The air nozzle connector didnt work with my air compresor that has quick connect mechanisum. I had to use different connector.

3. Several alen screws. Havent figured out what kind of adjustments can be made...

Overall, it felt good in hands. Really small! Doesnt look cheap quality...Fired nails very well although I tested only on MDF

Pinner

Keep us posted on the quality of the pinner- If it's decent quality, I'd like to have one.

Here's a link to the guy's ebay store, for everyone else's info...

His seller rating isn't great (97.6) but I guess you are going to get some complaints when you sell cheap Chinese tools.

He shipped promptly (USPS!) as soon as I paid through paypal and good communication. People should know what they are buying. If the item was not as described or damaged then he is responsible.

4. Makes noticable dent when I fired on pre-finished hardwood molding. The nailer's nose does not have any plastic gap as the expensive versions do. Workaround: I had 3M adhesive strip around. It is thicker than blue tape, for example, and soft. I wrapped it around the nailer's nose (covering the hole) and fired again. The result was great. Almost invisible nail hole and no visible damage around the area.

So far I like this nailer. Ordered variety pack

"AccuSet A109809 Variety Pack 23 Gauge Galvanized Micro Pins" from Amazon. 2,492 count. $9 with free shipping (prime).

Did you get the 93656 at $24.99? Does it really need 5.5 cfm to operate ?

No. I bought this nailer from ebay for 99 cents plus $22.50 shipping. HF nailer is out of stock until July. I use it with Porter Cable air compressor (6 gallon) that was part of a combo kit I bought.
