This compact and lightweight tool is easy to use, rugged and dependable.
It measures just under a foot long, has an elastomer/rubber grip, and weighs just over 3.5 pounds; this is much lighter than many other similar brands.
It will hold 100 fasteners, size 1 to 2-1/2 inches, at 16 gauge size and has a straight angle magazine that loads from the top.
Features are a tool-less dial for depth of drive, you can adjust it for a variety of different materials to allow flush nailing, and a tool-less, easy clear nose for safe and easy removal of jams, should one occur.
It has a "no-mar" tip, to lessen the chance of nicks and marks on the surface of the work area, a switch for sequential or contact nailing and a built in "duster" button to clean the area you are about to shoot in. It allows the compressor air to bypass the nailer and shoot air out a hole on the front of the gun to clean the area before you nail it.
It is good for light to medium home projects, much lighter than its competitors and priced slightly higher than average compared to similar products.
