One great way to get me to install molding..! |
We just had a half-bath installed this past year, and the molding had a quarter- to half-inch gap that needed fixin'. I was mentally groaning about having to try to nail molding in those corners and tight spots, but on Christmas morn, Santa and The Wife chipped in for this finish nailer.
My first impression was how well this handled. Light but solid, it felt like the professional tool that it is. The hard case and included 2" nails leave you little room for excuses not to get working right away. Still, I acquired 1.25" nails for the job and got to work. I changed the tip (with some effort) to the quarter-round so I could nail flush, and in ten minutes (including all measures and cuts with the miter box) I was done. I borrowed a friend's brad nailer for some insulation work this past summer and saw the light, so no turning back now, it's pneumatic tools for me!

Nice nailer, but.... |
|
This is a nice nailer and it is well made. I would agree with almost everything said about it in the other reviews. There is one exception that I thought I would bring to the attention of potential buyers. Specifically it is the nail carrier rail. It is hard to load and even harder to unload. Once loaded, there is no way to know what size nails are in the unit from the last time it was used. In contrast, with the DeWalt Nailers both of these things are not an issue. |

A great finish nailer! |
My favorite thing about this nailer so far is that it's so light. You won't get tired from using this thing. It's also very sturdy and seems very well made. Insertion of nails is simple and effortless. I also really like that my little air compressor runs this nailer just fine. I was initially concerned that it had no safety, but the nailer is designed to not fire unless it's pressed against the board. (This is probably normal for nailers, but this is my first!) It's also a nice touch that it comes with a supply of 2" nails. This thing was ready to go out of the box.
In all, I'm very happy with it so far. |

Great finish nailer |
|
I have had time now to use this finish nailer and I have to say it works flawlessly. The depth control works very well and I have ran a box of 1000 nails through it without one jam. I would recommend this nailer to anyone, a great product, light and strong. |

Sturdy Construction |
After having used the nailer quite a bit, not too many complaints. I average about one double fire every 1,000 nails. Depth adjustment works fairly well. The hammer does damage a most name brand brad heads on contact, making pretty sparks and occasional shrapnel, even when running on low air pressure.
The construction itself is very nice. A heavy weight shell and grip that don't feel even the least bit cheap. The case, however, is your average plastic air-blown case which is quite cheap compared to other brands like Dewalt and Rigid nailers. It is a universal case that Bostitch uses for multiple nailers and because of that, the FN16250K does not fit perfectly if attempting to store other items alongside the nailer.
In the event I purchase another 16 gauge nailer, I would not select this gun but it is a good quality tool that I could feel comfortable recommending to others. |
