No need to oil the gun before use, and no risk of getting that oil on unfinised wood to cause problems with stain and other finishes later on. The Bostitch nailer is much lighter and easy to handle, has a much better nose piece (non-marking) and, the icing on the cake, is oilless. (I also own the Bostitch framing nailer, which I am also very pleased with). This nailer replaced an off-brand one that I'd had for ten years or so, which finally broke down so that I could replace it. I shouldn't have waited. I'm very happy with this tool.
Great Finish Nailer, light weight ease of use. Will recomend it to friends and family.
Easy depth adjustment. Truly great tool. Worked great for installing tongue-n-groove solid bamboo and other, simpler jobs.
I borrowed a friend's brad nailer for some insulation work this past summer and saw the light, so no turning back now, it's pneumatic tools for me.-C The hard case and included 2" nails leave you little room for excuses not to get working right away. Light but solid, it felt like the professional tool that it is. I changed the tip (with some effort) to the quarter-round so I could nail flush, and in ten minutes (including all measures and cuts with the miter box) I was done. We just had a half-bath installed this past year, and the molding had a quarter- to half-inch gap that needed fixin'. I was mentally groaning about having to try to nail molding in those corners and tight spots, but on Christmas morn, Santa and The Wife chipped in for this finish nailer.My first impression was how well this handled. Still, I acquired 1.25" nails for the job and got to work.
In contrast, with the DeWalt Nailers both of these things are not an issue. Specifically it is the nail carrier rail. There is one exception that I thought I would bring to the attention of potential buyers. Once loaded, there is no way to know what size nails are in the unit from the last time it was used. This is a nice nailer and it is well made. I would agree with almost everything said about it in the other reviews. It is hard to load and even harder to unload.
