just so so
I use this for two reasons.
1 so as not to split wood with a larger 18ga brad.
2 for a less noticable hole.
The short comings of this pinner is its lack of power in the depth drive.
It only barley sets the pin. which makes it tough to fill. I've often had to get out a nail set because its flush with the surface, which makes an even larger hole. Rating:

Disappointing. Doesn't countersink pins.
This is my first pin nailer and for the most part I'm happy with it. My only complaint is that it doesn't countersink pins. They stay even with the wood surface. Even though the pins are tiny you can still see them from up close. I do finish carpentry work and it would be nice if the pins got driven below the wood surface so that I could touch touch up the holes. My buddy has a Porter Cable 23 guage pin nailer and it does countersink the pins. If I had to do it over I would get the Porter Cable. Rating:

Learn your tool
I'm amazed at the amount of people trying to use this 23 guage pinner as a brad nailer or even a finish nailer. Most, if not all of the problems mentioned are due to operator error. These pinners are meant for delicate trim work where very thin and narrow pieces of wood can't be attached with a small nail or even a brad. When I read about using this guage pin on Ipe or people wanting a 2" pin it makes me cringe. It seems people are going to misuse and abuse machines all day long until they break and then they blame the machine. Learn your tool and learn the proper usage before expecting the impossible. It seems most of these "professionals" don't even know what a brad nailer is, let alone when to use a finish nail, a brad nail or a pin. There's a difference. Rating:

Call Bostitch CS to sink 1 3/16" pins
Yes , there is a problem with driving 1 3/16" pins but Bostitch will send you an easy fix, a new driver/piston. I am surprised that no one called them and posted this . I always contact the manufacturer with any issues first, some are very helpful and others are not. Great CS from them, as I always have had from them, and an other wise very well made compact driver now will work just fine. As far as using 2"pins, they are too long for this gauge in real wood[18 ga.2"brads is even pushing it] ;they bend easily and can "blowout" of the wood[follow the grain] when using to be really useful anyway but the 1 3/16" is perfect for shoe base mld. for flooring installs and no filler is really needed. 1" pin guns limits the usefulness as other brands have as their longest length. 4 stars for the tool as is, and add 1 star for Bostitch being there to fix their problem making the gun excellent now. |
