This nailer has worked very well for me. It is very light weight. The depth control is very easy to use. I use Senco nails with virtually no problems.
I'm a contractor and use this gun everyday for everything from exterior trim in New England temperature extremes (many days in single digits)to interior trim and hardwood flooring. Thousands of nails fired, including stainless all sizes without jamming. Oil the gun daily and use 34 degree nails, you won't be dissapointed. Belt hook is good too, especially on pump jacks and wall brackets doing trim.
So I went to my local lumberyard a bought some generic 15ga nails. Turns out they are 14ga. This gun started out bad for me, first I was using nails left over from my old Senco sfn2 gun. The new problem was the gun that held the nails together colleted in the nose of the gun and jammed things up. Nails and are a little too tight for the 15ga Dewalt. They worked but had a lot of sticking. Out for a new box of senco 15ga nails and things work like a charm. But it was touch and go for a while with this gun, but I very happy now.
And then using it for small trim when my Sears Brand 18 guage finish nailer wore out. This nail gun has been flawless. This means now I need to upgrade and get the dewalt 18 gauge. The nails are easy to load, and visible when loaded so easy the check size and qty. (No shooting blanks with this gun)The only issues I have had with it are, limited selection of nails for it in the big Orange Store. I will aslo need to get a framming gun as well since this is not big enough to fasten 2X's.
Great product, used several times with moldings and casings, as well as furniture. Finished jobs 5 times faster than by hammer and nails. No jambs and no mechanical problems, you can even nail into small pieces with no splitting, nails sink below the surface and straight every time.
