The dual trigger safety takes a little getting used to initially, but becomes second nature once you've used it a bit. It's performed almost flawlessly & has held up well. I've owned this pin nailer for about 5 years & found it to be a very good value for the money. I've found the power adjustment lever to be unnecessary & always leave it set to the maximum position. There have been no repairs required, even though it's been used in a commercial setting & not always treated kindly. The tool is slightly larger than other guns that shoot pins in the 1 1/4" range, but is not unwieldy. If I could improve one thing on the tool, I'd make it oil-less like the other finish guns in the Bostitch lineup. Other than that, I feel it's one of the top 23g tools in this price range.
It is very easy to press both handles simultaneously to initiate the nailing. The Bostitch Pin Nailer is doing its basic function fine. I can only give it a 2 star because it has in my opinion a major design flaw. This makes it very easy to have the nail come out accidentally insuring somebody. I have never seen a nail gun in which it so easy to make a mistake in this way.
I also like Bostitchs 7 year warranty on their air nailers. Bought this because the price was way lower than most pinners. I wanted to get a Grex, but at over $200+ for one I couldn't justify spending the money. I've used this on kitchen cabinets and also on a wood floor install (3/8" flooring - first and last rows). Sank into maple and oak up to 3/4" thick with no problems.
Wasn't that bad , but unacceptable if you want to do your work 100%. Not a single jam, small, easy to work with. Overall, this is good product for the price. Again for most of application it works great. Works great in pine and softer woods. However I had to use it in santos mahagony and nails (1") have been sticking up. I returned mine and got Cadex. No idea how that one will work, didn't receive it yet.
It sinks pins perfectly in both Oak and pine right out of the box. Just got the nailer (pinner). last week. Love the "invisible" holes, and my dog really appreciates the lower noise level. I don't use my 18 Ga nailer much anymore.
