Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The depth adjustment was stuck on the first unit.Either a minor manufacturing defect or it happened in handling.No biggie; I'm expecting a replacement later today.
I used the compressor to control depth of drive and installed about 800-feet of base and door moldings - around 1800 nails, 3/4-inch to 2-and-a-half inches, without a hitch even after bending a few 2-and-a-half inch fasteners into perfect "U" shapes when I hit a framing nail, there was never a jam, never a misfire, and never a problem.
Drove all but a handful of fasteners without using the no-mar tip and left no surface marks.These were painted moldings, and I would use the tip on stained millwork, just to be safe.
It is definitely not 20% smaller than competing units, but it is at least 20% more narrow than any of it's couterparts except (maybe) the new Paslode angled nailer.It allowed me to get into the tight corners without assuming a yoga position.
It seems to have less bounce than other 16-guage nailers.Not a lot less, but noticeable.
16-guage is a good compromise for those of us who do not own or do not want a 15-guage, 16-guage, 18-guage and 23-guage nailer hanging around.The Bosch works well at 60 psi with 3/4 inch nails, and I used it with fairly delicate 5/8 pine and white oak crown moldings from the big-box store without damaging the wood.If I were working on cabinetry, I would definitely want a smaller nailer, but this Bosch is a good compromise.
Four stars because it is too pricey.I'm glad I got it; and happy to replace the damaged/defective one with the same model, but really, for what you get, it costs too much.
There is no oil in the case, only a single no-mar tip, no practice nails, and not even a hose connector.And following a trend, the manual is mostly safety CYA's with very little additional information.
I recommend this nailer, with a caveat: there are less costly alternatives that are nearly as good.
