HF 18 gauge brad nailer
I just got one these a couple weeks ago. When it was on sale for $14.99.
I finally got to try it out today. In MHO it works great and was a good deal to boot. I made a large shelving unit for my storage unit. The shelving unit is a two piece design made totally of poplar that I got free at work. The two pieces are stackable so it is appox. 7 1/2' H x 4' wide altogether. With the little brad nailer and my BT I had it buillt in about 4 hours. I was surprised how little air it used and how well it penitrated even with the 2" brads. I have a gas compressor, so to limit the noise for the neighbors I started it long enough to fill the 20 gallon tank and then shut it off. I was able to run 20-30 minutes before the pressure dropped below 75psi and I'd have to fire it up again. I'd recommend this thing to anyone looking for a 18 gauge nailer. The only problem I had with it all day was occasionally the safety mechanism on the tip would hang and I'd have to pull the trigger again to pop it back out before I could fire again, but its probably just a bur on it or lack of lubricant I will check it tonight. I usually by only made in USA, but I can't justify it for every tool when the price is right and the quality is there ecspecially when I don't use it very often.
Sorry this was so long, but I just had to say this little sucker is a gem for a cheapy.
