dont listen to reviews from people who dont know that they are talking about :)        Rating:

this is a great product, i own one my self and bought one for my father recently. i only give it four stars because when i plugged my in for the first time it had an air leak, however that was easily fixed by tightening the allen screws that hold the two halves of the unit together.

now about my title, i just have to say that anyone trying to use a FRAMING tool for trim work like crown molding has no business writing a review for this product, sorry.

I like this nailer! It's lightweight and pretty powerful. It takes getting used to and you still need two hands to drive the nail straight - one to hold the nailer and the other to hold the nail shank straight while you drive it. All of the palm nailers I have seen would require this two hand operation though. On thinner long nails and harder wood the nail may bend before full penetration.

I love it!        Rating:

My wife bought me this nailer to use while remodeling our basement. I developed tendinitis in my wrist from building a 12'X16' storage barn last summer, and I sure could have used this then!

It makes driving 16 penny framing nails a cinch, particularly in places where using a hammer is awkward. From a layperson's standpoint, this is a great choice for driving nails without shelling out the big bucks for a framing nailer. It fits in your tool box, costs about the same as a high quality framing hammer, and takes a lot of the work out of driving nails. I built 2 walls and a door frame and header in my basement with this little tool and it made a pain in the neck job a piece of cake.

For the price it's almost disposable compared to a real framing nailer, but it's built well enough that for small jobs around the house you will probably never need to replace it.

It was nice that they included a bottle of air tool oil in the package as well.

Much better than I anticipated        Rating:

UPDATE: I have now had this product for a small amount of time, and had some small problems with it.
It started leaking air. I removed the quick disconnect and put some teflon tape on it; still leaking. I removed the teflon tape and used rectorseal; still leaking. Come to find it out it was actually leaking through the back(go figure). I snugged up the back with an allen wrench and it is now fine. The item was not dropped or abused, though it was used.

The first time I used this I almost put a nail through my hand, but that is a good thing; let me explain.

I thought this would work "OK", so the first time I used it just for fun. I had my hand on the other side of the 2x6, and tat-tat-tat all the sudden the nail came through the board several inches from my hand. I was amazed at how quickly it sunk the nail, a 16d went through a single 2x like butter.

I thought I would use this sometimes, but find I'm using it very frequently. It's great for putting nails in straps, especially if the strap is hard to reach or in an inconvenient place.

I am amazed that Framers throughout the U.S are making their poor helpers tap hurricane ties in place in small niches with a hammer.

They would save money by buying this for their helpers, the hurricane ties would be up much quicker saving labor costs.

If you have a compressor and do construction, you should own this.

The only downside? A boss can't yell, "What are you doing up there turtle, having a tea party? Those straps aren't nailing themselves..." etc.

Saw this palm nailer on "cool tools." Couldn't believe its size and power. Did not leak air as other reviews stated, and amazingly hammered 3 1/2 inch nails almost flush. Takes a little practice, but does a great job, especially in tight places.
