V1015B

I have a small framing business and just couldn't justify $2,500 for the big machine that the big shops use. This so far is perfect for my business. Handles well and does a great job inserting the V Nails once you get the proper pressure on your air compressor. And the price was definitely better. I highly recommend it so far. I just wish there was a manual. But they said they're working on writing one. But there are a few videos that will help.

i’m a painter and frankly I need to be able to frame my paper works affordable, no way can I spend $400 to get the result I want and no way can I just buy a frame and mat at Target. This gun was a dramatic step up from pin nailing the corners of the wood. It creates solid stable connections in mitered corners. Use enough pressure! My first try I didn’t and it misfired several times, requiring removing the front plate and resetting the drive pin. The second frame went perfectly, 125 lbs pressure, no misfires, perfect corners.

I bought this about a month ago for an upcoming project where I was fastening 3/4'' oak frames. I started using the gun today. Well, it worked fine for about 30 revolutions then it started jamming. We cleared the jam and it worked one time then seemed to shoot 2 v-nails out at the same time. It jammed again and again with the same results. Now, I'm in a hell of a jam because I am unable to complete my project in time for delivery. Don't have much choice because there is no way to reach the manufacturer. My advice...don't waste your money on this product. I even bought their v-nails just to make sure.

After looking long and hard for a hand held pneumatic v-nail gun I found two different items. At first it seemed that they were two different items, but in actuality, they are the exact same gun, just produced in two different factories, with different cosmetic appearances. Other than that, they are the same gun, produced by the same company. Except, the Meite branded model, is $100 less expensive, because there is not an additional third party in the transaction. So the net net on pricing, I found the very best price in the world.... as far as I can see, considering I found only two models of the exact item I was looking for; and my item was $100 less. At first had a little drag on getting up and running, because the recommended v-nails (Logan) were the wrong size. So, they got sent back, and I went to my local custom framing wholesale supplier, who has at least 100 or more v-nail sku alternatives, and that was the ticket. I found the correct size, loaded them up, and there has been no looking back. FYI... the purchasing agent for the v-nail stock at this wholesaler, was rather impressed with the look of the gun, and had never heard of such an animal! The gun has power, control, flexibility for v-nail lengths, very industrial in it's build, hence truly meant for the professional, or semi-professional custom picture frame operation. Having spent the last three years in a professional picture framing plant in North Los Anglees, using all of the commercial grade equipment, I will say first hand, from an experienced picture framer, this gun is the real deal. You won't be disappointed. Rather, you will be pleasantly, if not seriously satisfied with this product. I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER! PS: When I contacted the East Coast office that imported this item, they were very helpful, and attentive to my issues. A little hard to communicate with due to the Nationality difference, but we worked through that as well. So I felt like they took ownership of trying to make the situation right. Thank You.

Jams constantly. I've been using it for 3 days now - I've gone through about 5 stacks of V-nails. It jams sporadically - no pattern, but on average, I'd say, about every 8th staple. Sometimes 5 jams in a row, sometimes I get through 40 without a jam......very frustrating. I'm no stranger to these type tools or to framing - Many years experience. I am using the Meite 12mm V-nails, and yes, they are installed the proper way up. I have tried the entire range of pressure from 60-100 PSI, and it doesn't make any difference. I am lubricating as per the instructions with 2 drops per stick of V-nails. I'm doing everything correctly. When I received the unit, it was already in the jammed position with the Driver fully down past the Muzzle Cover - That alone took me 20 minutes to figure out how to disassemble, since the instruction manual is a joke. Now that I'm a pro at unjamming it, the same process takes me only 45 seconds, but I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT!!!!!! So I've tried calling the sales/support phone number for Meite USA 3 times (718-222-4888), and it rings for 90 seconds, then the call drops. No answer, no voice mail, and when you try to look up anything on their website, about 1/3 of the website is non-functional with dead links........hmmmmmm......did I get scammed???? If I can't get through with them on the phone today or tomorrow in a few more attempts, I'll be returning it and buying a competitor's model. All that being said, when it does drive a V-Nail - its pretty good. Its got more kick and heft than my Surebonder pneumatic stapler for regular staples - not for the weak-wristed. And I'm not a safety-obsessed pansy, but seems like every other manufacturer of pneumatic stapling tools incorporates a pressure safety mechanism where the tool must be pressed firmly against a surface before the trigger will engage - not this tool - it will be perfectly happy to fire into your face, if you're dumb enough to do so. I got my first V-Nail scar while framing when I was about 10 - looking forward to my next. If it just wouldn't jam, I could overlook all the other negative issues, but this jamming is killing my efficiency and time ***Update - 3 days later*** - Okay, so I said their phone rings 90 seconds, then the call drops..... well, on my 6th call on the 2nd day of calling, I decided to just start talking after the dropped call, and either it was a VM and they got it, or they read my email, or they read this review, but I received a call back from Anson, a very nice sales rep in NYC who was very helpful, and is in the process of sending me a new V-Nailer, and I'll box up this one and return it when I receive it. Actually quite good customer service, and he seems very interested in helping his USA customers. Once I receive the new one and try it for a few sticks of staples, I'll update the review and hopefully, if it doesn't jam, I'll have a great nailer that gets a 5* review! ***UPDATE*** - 2 months later - Anson from USA customer service got in touch with me and sent me a replacement (at his cost), and it seems to be working much better after a month of use - only about 1 jam per 2 sticks of Meite v-nails, so I'm happy. I mailed the 1st unit back (at my cost). So, I'm raising my review from my original 2-star up to 4-star. Might have gotten a 5-star review if a) the problems in my initial review didn't occur, and b) if they had sent me a return-label for return shipping. But I'm pretty satisfied now.

Bueno

Gives a nice appearance to finished frames, Better than spline joint or nails.

Decra mould wall frames and it worked like dream . The gun probably saved me 10-15 man hours .

Great, Been using it a lot with no problems but had to order nails separate but not a long wait.

Artículo en buen estado, sin daños llego muy bien gracias.

Well made and works perfectly.

Good product and used it for like a year now. Perfect for door and window casing. Absolutely Loved it, thanks. Money well spent

Nothing wrong with this machine - it seems well built and would no doubt have worked well. My problem was getting it to fit my compressor. Couldn’t find an adaptor to go between the gun and the air hose. Rendered it useless. If you have more knowledge of how to get this to fit your compressor then I should think it would be a good purchase.
