I think it's a pretty good value too. 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'm very happy with this purchase and feel it is a very good value. 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.
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. 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. For starters it's half the price of most pinners out there that you would be proud to spend your money on. Just a smart little addition I wish my dewalt brad nailers had. The nails also hold really well too.
This keeps the tool oil from dripping out and making a mess and keeps the insides clean. I have only used it a few times but I already wish I had purchased it sooner. This one holds up to 1 inch pins I think and that's all I'll need it for. Also, they won't split the wood like brad nailers.
The dual triggers,(safety + fire) is kind of funky but with time I'm sure I will get used to. I chose PC because of their reputation, Price, the top vent, narrow tip. I'm liking it so far. Why did I wait so long to buy a pin nailer. This tool is very handy. It had no problem sinking 1 1/2" pins into oak, just below the surface.
However, the tip mars wood pretty bad. I like the compact size body and a little weight to it. Grex comes with no mar tips, why PC can not. It works fine. I had no jambs or any other problems. You need to be cafreful when you use it on rather soft wood.
