Failed to impress
Customer Rating: 




I'm a finish carpenter and fine furniture builder, and I was introduced to pin nailers only last year. I did a lot of work with a friend who had the Grex model, which I liked very much, but when I decided to buy a pinner of my own, I went with this Bostitch unit because it was less expensive, and I have a 16 ga. nailer from Bostitch which is excellent. Their pinner, though, needs to be rethought. The large, ungainly safety trigger is thin plastic, and the edge tends to pinch your finger. Ergonomics aside, the unit simply failed to sink pins below the surface of any material, regardless of air pressure or depth setting. Maybe I got a lemon, but I returned it and bought the Grex. It just WORKS every time.
