Quality Tool-Dependable
I had bought a cheaper pin nailer that jammed right away--right in the middle of my finishing project. I was holding the trim with the glue and the thing jammed. Frustrated doesn't do the experience justice. So I sent it back and ordered this one...dependable right from the start. Perfect detail each and every press of the trigger. I should have gotten this one on the very first order. Don't waste your time with cheaper versions. This is a bit more expensive, but well worth it. Avoid frustrations and get this one!

Great Pin Nailer
Great pin nailer that I am using in finish cabinet work. Works perfectly out of the box and is a brand I trust.

Sets nearly invisible pins, does the job
I’ve been wanting one of these for a long time, finally decided to just buy one. Several months after getting it, I had a real need for it, and it did the job perfectly. One of those tools you won’t use every day, but when you need it, it’s very handy .I have some other Bostich nailers, and they are great.

good tool, but be careful of the trigger
leaves the tiniest hole imaginable. two things to get used to, if your used to using regular nailers, the safety is a double trigger, not a nozzle depression, so it's easy to fire off, very easy. also there's no rubber tip on the nozzle, so if you used to leaning into your nailer, you'll leave a dent. once I got the hang of this pinner (and the shock of pinning my finger, just once), I really liked it. a great tool to have if you do any finish work. Update: This nailer is good while it lasts. For the price I can't complain. But for long term use and if you can afford, maybe a step up would be a good idea. I can't comment on my more expensive nailer because I haven't used it enough. This nailer is excellent for occasional use and as a starter, and reasonably priced. It won't last forever and will start to need a fair amount of TLC after a year or two of moderate use. Good product, but not built to last, which may be a feature of the type of tool (pin nailers). Still deserves a four star rating. Finally shelled out for a Nickle pin nailer. Performance is about the same, have only had it for about six months (light usage) so can't speak to durability. Will update. However, still think the Bostitch is a good nailer for the price, and worth 4 stars. Nickle maybe a 5 star nailer, we'll see in time...

Very sweet nailer
My first pin nailer, my others are regular brad and staple nailers. This pin nailer is a lot quieter than the others and it has worked flawlessly. Great for times when you don’t want to see a nail head

Bostitch doesn't jam. Quiet. and user friendly
I like using this stapler, because it is very efficient on the air, and never jams like my other porter cable. To be fair, I bought generic brads for the porter cable which ha small flat heads. And the smaller sized brads jamed every oher time. But genuine portercable brads are like the bostitch brads in that they are smoother and don't have the head at the top. But now I have two nail brad guns. I think I'll build some cabinets.

Great product, good price. Really nice range of nails it can use.
I needed a pin nailer to build raised panel cabinet doors and read reviews of this product. I was familiar with Bostitch products and their great reputation for quality. I have not been disappointed. I also chose this brand/model for the range of nail sizes it can use. Super lightweight and doesn’t suck a lot of air pressure with each trigger pull.

He seems to like it
I could write a review that’s full of crap, because the room isn’t mine. But I won’t. Instead, I’ll say I bought it as a Father’s Day gift for my husband. He requested this specific one, which means he researched the heck out of it and decided this was the best product for the price. I held it. It’s lightweight. He helped our nine year old try it out. So it works great. And that’s about the extent of my opinion on the thing. :)

Love this pin nailer, it’s compact, sturdy, and does and excellent job driving pins. It comes with a stack of pins in the box to get started, which is a nice touch.

The size and weight makes the tool comfortable to use on small projects. Like the air exhausting by the hose connection. The Bostich staples supplied with the Pin Nailer are horrible to the point where I was considering sending the unit back. Tried Grex brand pin nails and had no further jamming issues. Couldn't have completed my project without this tool. Don't use Bostich Pin Nails.

My husband bought this for the workshop in our building so it will be used by many. He thinks it is a great product and will be useful for a long time.
