Harbor Freight Framing Nailer

[daniel1954]

Does anyone have any experience with one of these, any model, whether good or bad! Trying to decide if I should buy one to frame up a shed or not without breaking the piggy bank.

Thanks in advance!

HF Framing Nailer

I have the 10 gauge 21 degree framing nailer and it works great!! Well worth it for $89. My SIL and I just finished reframing the second floor of his home and never had a jam. Much better than pounding nails!!

I have one of the clipped head framing nailers. Built a storage building with it and it works great!

I also have the 10ga 21 degree nailer, and I'll echo Waynes thumbs-up. We're building a shed out on our 'mountain' property and it's been flawless driving 3 1/4 and 2 1/2 nails - not a single jam or misfire so far. Runs fine off our little Porter Cable pancake compressor. I never managed to get it on super-special, but did manage to use a 20% coupon, but even so it's a great deal IMHO.

We have one of the all in ones that use any clipped or non-clipped and at any of the 3 angles I think they call it the 6 in one or some such nonsense
It is great
Used it yesterday in the shop in fact use it whenever I need nails

At HF pricing (plus the current 15% off coupon) you absolutely can't go wrong

I also have the 10 ga 21 degree full head nail gun and it works great, for the price you can't go wrong.

I also have the 10ga 21deg nailer. I do like it.. but I have to admit I have occasional jams and misfires. The plastic end piece would also fall off on occasion and I eventually lost it somewhere. I don't think you can beat it for the price though...

What nails have those with no jams/misfires been using (paper/plastic & brand)? I have been using a box of Hitatchi galvanized nails that are bound with plastic.

I buy them right from HF, never had a jam.
