Great Deal
I received this pin nailer as a birthday gift and have used it mostly for nailing very small pieces together for children's toys. I am very impressed with the ease of use and smooth handling. I had read other reviews about it not fully seating the pins but never found this to be the case. I drove 1" pins into red oak and they went fully below the surface. When set to the lighter setting they did protrude but that was expected. Care must be used with the trigger arrangement but this is common for these machines. I found myself almost firing into the air when moving from one position to another. Good price and good range of pins driven. Well satisfied and would do it again.

Sets nearly invisible pins, does the job
I’ve been wanting one of these for a long time, finally decided to just buy one. Several months after getting it, I had a real need for it, and it did the job perfectly. One of those tools you won’t use every day, but when you need it, it’s very handy .I have some other Bostich nailers, and they are great.

He seems to like it
I could write a review that’s full of crap, because the room isn’t mine. But I won’t. Instead, I’ll say I bought it as a Father’s Day gift for my husband. He requested this specific one, which means he researched the heck out of it and decided this was the best product for the price. I held it. It’s lightweight. He helped our nine year old try it out. So it works great. And that’s about the extent of my opinion on the thing. :)

Used it several times and it works like a champ.
I bought this to use to mount some trim in my paneled basement. It worked fine for that. I just used it to build a doll bed for my granddaughter's American Girl doll. Worked great there to, especially for holding glued parts together while they were drying. Only issue I would say is you shouldn't use one of these if you are trying to hold mismatched edges together. Because it's only a pin (without a head on it) it won't pull two pieces of wood together, if there's a gap. In other words if you have a poorly cut mitered corner, it won't pull the two pieces together.

good tool, but be careful of the trigger
leaves the tiniest hole imaginable. two things to get used to, if your used to using regular nailers, the safety is a double trigger, not a nozzle depression, so it's easy to fire off, very easy. also there's no rubber tip on the nozzle, so if you used to leaning into your nailer, you'll leave a dent. once I got the hang of this pinner (and the shock of pinning my finger, just once), I really liked it. a great tool to have if you do any finish work. Update: This nailer is good while it lasts. For the price I can't complain. But for long term use and if you can afford, maybe a step up would be a good idea. I can't comment on my more expensive nailer because I haven't used it enough. This nailer is excellent for occasional use and as a starter, and reasonably priced. It won't last forever and will start to need a fair amount of TLC after a year or two of moderate use. Good product, but not built to last, which may be a feature of the type of tool (pin nailers). Still deserves a four star rating. Finally shelled out for a Nickle pin nailer. Performance is about the same, have only had it for about six months (light usage) so can't speak to durability. Will update. However, still think the Bostitch is a good nailer for the price, and worth 4 stars. Nickle maybe a 5 star nailer, we'll see in time...

Bostitch doesn't jam. Quiet. and user friendly
I like using this stapler, because it is very efficient on the air, and never jams like my other porter cable. To be fair, I bought generic brads for the porter cable which ha small flat heads. And the smaller sized brads jamed every oher time. But genuine portercable brads are like the bostitch brads in that they are smoother and don't have the head at the top. But now I have two nail brad guns. I think I'll build some cabinets.

Very sweet nailer
My first pin nailer, my others are regular brad and staple nailers. This pin nailer is a lot quieter than the others and it has worked flawlessly. Great for times when you don’t want to see a nail head

Great pin nailer
Love this pin nailer, it’s compact, sturdy, and does and excellent job driving pins. It comes with a stack of pins in the box to get started, which is a nice touch.

Very handy tool for small work
The size and weight makes the tool comfortable to use on small projects. Like the air exhausting by the hose connection. The Bostich staples supplied with the Pin Nailer are horrible to the point where I was considering sending the unit back. Tried Grex brand pin nails and had no further jamming issues. Couldn't have completed my project without this tool. Don't use Bostich Pin Nails.
