Amazing
I bought this nailer some time ago after careful reading of reviews on 18g pneumatic nailers. I got it and put it to work immediately. It is a great nailer leaving only a small hole which can be easily puttied over if desired, but since the holes are small, with most work I don't bother. I have used two different lengths of nails and both functioned flawlessly. It has never jammed on me and the nail magazine is robust. I really like how it is very simply made to the point where it looks cheap, but many of the forgings/castings are meant to last. So far I have used it on softwoods only, so I cannot speak on how it will handle oak. My only complaint is that it is small and light enough that a standard Goodyear rubber hose feels unwieldily hooked to it, so I might, and I bite my lip saying it, I might recommend using one of those cheaper coiled nylon hoses when using this gun. In soft wood, such as pine molding, the nails always seated below grade, which is what I want, but sometimes a holding nail which can later be removed is nice, so you may still be forced to set these by hand unless you want to change the depth setting. Overall I am trilled with this purchase. ... show more

Great Nailer
Just like my Grex 23 gauge pin nailer, this 18 gauge works perfectly... It definately cost more than most other brad nailers, but it makes up for it in performance... I've ran a couple thousand nails through it already and only had one jam and that's only because I hit a metal drywall corner bead... I've been using it for base board installation and its such a pleasure to cover up the pin size holes made by the nails... I really like the fact that the hammer doesn't strike the material - leaving only a nail size hole.... It's light weight and feels like its built to last... changing from sequential to rapid fire is as easy as moving a small lever... Oh and the lock out feature is awsome (So few guns have that and if you're like me, you'll shoot 1/2 a dozen holes before you realize you have no nails).... If you need a quality nailer, pay the extra $100 and get this one... You'll be very happy you did... ... show more

Believe the bad reviews!
I bought this gun for use while replacing the molding in my home. The gun worked flawlessly on the first ~1000 feet of cherry. The tiny holes, no larger than the nail itself, really made me debate whether most had to even be filled- I eventually decided to fill all of them. Then I missed my belt holder and dropped the gun on concrete, which landed directly on its nose. After spending an inordinate amount of $ on replacement parts the gun never worked 'flawlessly' again. Still enamored by its initial performance, I bought a replacement. This second gun was even worse than the first, post-drop. Like many other reviewers have said, the gun jams regularly and sporadically leaves a nail proud of the surface; as Murphy's law would have it, usually right at eye-level on standing trim. By proud, I don't mean 0.10" of adjustable depth- I mean 0.25" proud! As you may know, hot-glue coated 18 gauge nails can neither be pounded in nor removed. The best you can do is cut it off and pound the remaining stub in slightly using a nail set- a real butcher job, to be sure The mechanism that prevents dry firing after exhausting the nails has never worked, not once, on the second gun- again, producing several empty holes before the operator realizes something isn't right. After every reload, I have to test the gun on a 2X4 just to make sure it's feeding properly to, again, avoid producing several empty holes before realizing the gun isn't nailing. It's incredibly frustrating to have continuous errors introduced into molding that has been primed, sanded and painted by the most expensive and least performant 18 gauge gun on the market. Stay away! ... show more

Total Gimmick, Worthless Gun
I am a finish carpenter by trade of 13 years and have used almost every model of 18g brad nailer, I was really looking forward to this one being as fantastic as the price tag and the proud product description. I used it for a while on some paint grade MDF jobs and thought it was decent but nothing to write home about, I put it back on the shelf after a job where I had door headers that were 5/4 Alder and the gun wouldn't sink even one 2'' brad even though I tried changing the pressure on the compressor and making sure I had the depth adjustment set to max on the gun. It had been sitting for quite some time and I decided to give it a try again recently, so I oiled it up and on day one the driver broke at the base, after looking into buying a new driver for near $50 I think this gun will hit the recycling bin. I have bought several of the dewalt DW-FP12231 now for my crew and myself and am very pleased with them, about every six months some little part like a driver o-ring or the bumper will break, but we use these guns all day, almost every day, so it seems minimal to me and the parts are very cheap, not to mention the gun itself is $71. ... show more

Great
I uses these tools to make a living and although I consider myself a tool guy I don't usually write reviews. I was so impressed with this gun I had to tell the world. I tried to buy a less expensive a few months ago. It gave me a number of problems the effected the quality and made me sped time trying to a Brad to set or pull out. What a pain. This gun is a little heavy but feels rock solid performs like a fine automobile. Compared to the competition it cost more but you will get what you pay for. ... show more

Great Nailer But…
I’ll start by saying im a Finish Carpenter by trade and this Nail gun is Great 8.5/10 However ive had a couple of this and i ive had the same problem with all of them. Always misfiring the first shot due to a loose driver. I sent ot back and was fixed which is great but shouldn’t have that problem.

Amazing
This is an amazing product. I own several nailers. This is my second Grex unit. It is light years above any of it`s competitors. If you have never used a Grex pinner or nailer, then you just don`t know what you are missing. They are the Mercedes of nailers. They cost a little more than some of the others, but the old adage - " You get what you pay for " is so very true in just about everything that we buy. Especially in this age of disposable items. Nothing is ever repaired anymore . You just throw it away and buy another. I doubt very much that any Grex tool will ever need repaired. They are just built extremely well. They are so balanced in your hand. There is never a misfire. I would recommend ANY Grex product. ... show more

Bad ass pinner
Top of the line 18g. If you work in the industry or are a homeowner who likes the real deal buy it. You can go cheaper with the same features but it won't shoot like grex;)
