Great Nailer!

I liked the fact that this nailer will shoot 2" thru 3 1/2". I looked at the Porter Cable FR350MAG but it doesn't shoot a 2" nail. Also on the stanleybostitch website (nail section) it shows the nails that will work with this nailer. Up to 3 1/2" and .162" diameter.

Features I liked:
1) Tool-less push-button depth control.
2) 1000 inch lbs of driving power.
3) Tool-free, adjustable, die-cast aluminum exhaust deflector.
4) 2" to 3 1/2" nail range.
5) Up to .162" nail size.
6) Nice carrying bag.

Fine Homebuilding reviewed several framing nailers and their favorites were the Bostitch N88RH and Max SN890RH.
This is a GREAT framing nailer!

So far so good! no misfires, powerful, comfortable!

I hesitated purchasing this nailer because of one review hear on Amazon.com. After researching more, I decided to give it a go. My experience was:
1) Nails easy to find in my area (find out what is more commong in your area, clipped head or round head)
2) No misfires/jams. Not a single one after spending the first week of ownership with daily use. (Wish I could have said that for the PC Roofing nailer I was using!)
3) It was comfortable and performed very well in cold weather
4) Bag is just as nice, if not nicer than a plastic case.

I'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend this nail gun to any of my friends.

Experience

I selected this unit because it was a somewhat newer model than the PC round head framer.
After 4 nails it jammed. Tried adding more air pressure.
Shot 4 more nails, jammed again.
Cleared jam, then the nailgun shot (2) nails together!
Then jammed badly, with (2) nails stuck in the shute.
Reqired disassembly to get the jam cleared.
(Yes, the correct nails were being used, air pressure 70-90)
Anyone interested in buying a nailgun?
