I'm glad I bought this one. I like the way it feels in my hand, I like the way it drives the pins, I like the size of the hole it leaves. I have a bunch of nailers, but always wanted a pin nailer. It countersinks just fine in the oak, maple, poplar and spanish cedar I've used it on. I think it's a pretty good value too.
The pins are set with very little to no marring. I bought this pin nailer primarily for pinning small bead moldings for a kitchen cabinet project. I have used 1/2",3/4" & 1" pins with this nailer, all have worked well with no issues. A light sanding and it pretty much disappears. I'm very happy with this purchase and feel it is a very good value.
This keeps the tool oil from dripping out and making a mess and keeps the insides clean. Also, they won't split the wood like brad nailers.
For starters it's half the price of most pinners out there that you would be proud to spend your money on. This one holds up to 1 inch pins I think and that's all I'll need it for.
I have only used it a few times but I already wish I had purchased it sooner. They don't easily pull out and hold pieces in place very securely while the glue dries.
Anything longer and I think you should be using a larger nail. The nails also hold really well too.
One small thing that I really like is the attached little plastic cap that you can cover the male air fitting with while it's not in use. Just a smart little addition I wish my dewalt brad nailers had.
Why did I wait so long to buy a pin nailer. The dual triggers,(safety + fire) is kind of funky but with time I'm sure I will get used to. This tool is very handy. I chose PC because of their reputation, Price, the top vent, narrow tip. It had no problem sinking 1 1/2" pins into oak, just below the surface. I'm liking it so far.
It works fine. However, the tip mars wood pretty bad. I had no jambs or any other problems. I like the compact size body and a little weight to it. You need to be cafreful when you use it on rather soft wood. Grex comes with no mar tips, why PC can not.
