I have that one (Actually I have a PA stapler and a spiker too). It's "OK" The only reason I'm suggesting "better" tools is because I know Meford is using it for business, not just for putzing around the house.

I'm a big proponent of buying quality tools, especially when you use them as a professional. You look silly leaving in the middle of the job to go th PA to get your gun repaired/replaced.

so true. I have been caught with my pants down on a site. Try explaining to a customer why your delayed and why it's your fault. Fireworks ensue.
I won't be buying my tools from Princess Auto. Let's just leave that at that.
There is a very good tool company that I deal with in Hamilton. Teg's tools.
I will be looking at what they have and taking a little advice from everyone and making an informed decision. I have always leaned toward spending a little more to get a lot more bang for the buck.
The first pneumatic nailer I was looking at, and I am still considering is not pneumatic at all. It's the new cordless Dewalt 16g nailer. Pretty nice unit but the 16g is a little heavy for finish work. And it's around $500 for just one tool.
