A popular model among builders who work on high-repetition projects like trusses and prefabricated frames, Bostitch's utility coil nailer offers huge capacity and solid reliability. When fully loaded, this nailer certainly isn't the lightest tool you could choose, but when you can drive 300 nails without having to reload, you quickly appreciate the timesaving capacity. With its aluminum housing and composite canister, this gun is a tough piece of equipment, designed to hold up to bumps and falls--the inevitable beating nailers take on a job site. The nailer's aggressive teeth easily grip lumber for toe-nailing. An adjustable deflector conveniently directs exhaust away from the user, and a quick-release canister makes loading new coils a snap. We were impressed with how solid the whole unit feels--it has the burliness of an industrial-strength machine. This model shoots 1-1/2- to 3-1/4-inch, 15-degree, wire-weld-collated, full-head nails, and weighs just over 8 pounds empty. Note: this model does not have adjustable drive depth. --Jonathon Tudor |

If you need to pound a lot of nails then this gun is for you! |
|
I bought this nailer becuase I was doing a radiant flooring project where I had to pound in 10,000 nails. The nailer worked flawlessly and was a pleasure to use. I did buy Bostitch brand nails after reading the negative reviews about the Chinese imports. I found a great place to buy my nails: www.speedynails.com Their prices including shipping was far lower than at my local building supply house who had to order my 3" ring nails anyway. This gun is much shorter than the kind that uses the sticks of nails so it is better balanced. The huge supply of nails is also a great benefit. |

Try Hitachi |
** See my review of the N89C as well
I bought a N80 and it would not drive a 3" or a 3 1/4" galv. spiral nail into Douglas Fir. After sending the gun in to see what was wrong with it. It was send back with nothing wrong. I took the gun, the nails, and the wood to the Bostitch distributor. They could not get it to drive the nails. Even the new one they pulled off the shelf did not do it. They gave me a N89. The depth adjustment on the N89 is nice and it has never jambed. Changing nail sizes is much easier then the N80.
Both the N80 and the N89 double fire easily. I have listen to nails land 50-60ft away on the street.
The crew framing my house uses 4 Hitachi NV83 guns. Thees guns are more balanced, drive 3 1/4" nails no problem, and I have not had a double fire yet. The Hitachi guns run 3-6 coils of nails a day 6 days a week in the mud and sawdust. If I ever wear my N89 out I'll be spending the extra $$$ on the Hitachi.

great gun but lacks adjustable tip |
This gun is an old tried and true framer gun that works. And is often sold as one of the lowest priced. Nail changes are quick, and parts if ever needed can be found at almost any repair shop or online. A seven year warranty is also one of the longest in the industry.
My only complant about this gun, is its lack of a depth of drive feature.
Its when you come to the sheathing, this gun will drive a 2 1/2 nail almost through the plywood. ( I know just turn down the presure) But this is not rocket sicence. Bostitch could add this feature.
So if price is an issue get this Bostich n80 gun. If you want the king of framers, and pay top dollar get the Makita, lots of features, including the ability to shoot 3 1/2 nails. |

Greate Gun - but |
The gun was everything I needed. Shoots a wide verity of nails from 1 1/2" to 3 3/4", therefore it can do many tasks.
The SEQ6 Sequential Trip Conversion Trigger Assembly was received broken, but I did not need this item for my project.
I would recommend that for those in the need of a nail to take a look at this gun. |

Really think about it |
|
I had a nothing but misfires with mine right out of the case. About every 5th nail would miss, actually the nails were not being fed into the chamber. I will say Bostitch service was SUPERB at working with me on the problem. Even after a year they covered all the charges for repair, that service alone will keep me going to Bostitch. Gun is back and working fine now. I just had a lemon that has been corrected. What I like about coil nailers is the volume of nails it holds and this gun is comfortable to use with plenty of power. |
