TWO ALLEN WRENCHES, BUT HOW AND WHEN DO YOU SET THE TOOL. GOOD PRODUCT, BUT BEING A NOVICE, THE INSTRUCTIONS WERE NOT CLEAR AS TO THE SETTINGS. IT WORKS GREAT, HOWEVER, AND NOW I COULD'NT DO WITHOUT IT.
-Michael Springer This move is part of their increasing focus on tools made for their core trades users. Qoute from a tools of the trade magazine, sorry to hear this.I hope this isn't true. As a product line footnote, Milwaukee is discontinuing their line of pneumatic nailers in the US. You heard it here first.
I hope Milkwaukee reads that comment and provides a smaller replacement for the nose bumper of that otherwise excellent gun.I own five different guns made by the company (big framing, 18 gage, 16 gage, roofing and the 15 gage) and I am delighted by the reliability of these tools. My only criticism is the size of the nose bumper that prevents a close side (toe) nailing. The tool is very good. So far I fired about 2500 nails without a problem. In that regard I should have bought the Hitachi for the same price in Amazon which has a smaller nose and permits a closer toe nailing.
I also have the Senco and my favorite is the DeWalt. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because I use it to nail hardwood floors and it is very sensitive, it must be put in just the right angle to get the nose to let the gun fire. I also like that the guns won't let you dry fire it when you are out of nails. I have the DeWalt version and it is not as sensitive. I have owned it for a little over a year now and have had no jams.
I actually prefer the DeWalt gun except for the trigger which can't be changed easily and it doesn't have a dry fire limiter. For most uses this gun would work great. The selector switch to switch from single fire to bump fire is one of the reasons I tried this gun. This nail gun seems very well made. It works great.
I have to readjust the nose multiple times before it fires.
I was able to get senco nails at Lowes, really like the 15 gauge nails and the angle helps to get into tight places. This nail gun has a real nice feel, the weight is low and it is easy to load. I received very fast service from amazon.
