This product advertised as being: "The kit includes nails of 1-1/4 in., carrying case, removable non-marring nose tip and owner's manual." The nails were not in the kit, even though case was still sealed in plastic shrink wrap. Had to drive back 20+ miles to get the brad nails. That made this purchase not a value. If they cannot get the package correct, makes me wonder about the quality of this product overall.

    Used maybe 10 times
    Bought my Porter Cable BN200B a number about 5 years ago and may have used it 10 time. Went to use it this morning and after a couple of nail shot it wouldn’t not shoot any more. Decided to open it up and see what went wrong and this is what I found. See pictures. If this is what’s called Long Last. I got a Bostitch framing nailer that I have had for over 20 year. Guess it time to put a Bostitch Brad Nailer on my to but took list.

      Lightweight, no jams, but leaks air
      I’ve had this finish nailer for almost a year. It is my go to nailer for trim work and light nailing. I use it a lot. Pros: Very lightweight, easy load, jam free to date, powerful, easy adjust depth, belt hook is quite handy, (1 year, 5,000+ fires, ON JAMS.) FYI, I have used only Porter Cable brand brads, but in every length this gun will fire. Cons: Black trigger was missing right out of the box. (For rapid fire) I don’t use this feature so I didn’t pursue acquiring one. However I feel it is worth mentioning.. After about two months the gun began to leak air and oil somewhere around the black star cap above the hose fitting. It is NOT leaking from the fitting itself. Many parts on this gun are plastic to obtain the lightweight. Hose fitting threads are plastic. I noticed this right away and was careful to tape the threads lightly and not over tighten and yet a crack near this star cap developed. It’s a small leak enough to make the compressor kick on every 5 minutes or so. I’m here to file a warranty service as the year is just about to expire and figured I would write this review while I wait for their switchboard to open at 8:00am. I would buy this gun again. Simply for the fact I have not had a single jam. Jams are the biggest deal breaker for me. Jams waste time. Time costs money.

        Love it. Nothing like 2 inch brad nailers for projects that need fixing! I fixed my grandsons rocker, built a spice rack shelf , and fixed my molding that was loose! Yay!

        The price is what drew me to this purchase. I neded a nailer to complete my lanai ceiling project. I installed beadboard and the nailer did the trick. Worked well with no problems. Great value for a good price.

        This is the second of this brand we have purchased the first many years ago. The first failed and per online searches we came to the conclusion that it needed the overhaul kit witch was $50.00 + tax and S&H. we searched and saw that this new one was only $69.00 at our local HD so we opted to purchase new instead of purchasing the kit.

        This is a good product for the DIY person who is tired of banging nails into trim and having to go back and fix things later. I estimate that I completed the work in 15% of the time it would have taken otherwise. I should have explored this option years ago. I have use the product for a couple of weekends putting up 1/2 boards on my kitchen ceiling as well as crown moulding and the baseboard trim in three bedrooms without issue.

          Good nailer at a good price
          This brad nailer has functioned fine. Very easy to adjust brad depth and the included hook is very handy. Hard to beat the price also

            A Good First Brad Nailer
            You want your first time to be memorable, and that's what you get with Porter Cable. Easy to operate, brads slide in easily and exit with that satisfying pffft that tells you you've nailed straight and true. For those without much experience, you cannot match the price and ease of use. Perfect for small jobs.

              Great nail gun, hooked it up to the compressor and started using—more quiet than my old one.

              Had my previous P.C. Nailer for about 25 years be it gave out, so am OK buying another. An advantage for this one is it’s oil less. Tee nailing tip is kind of slippery on finished wood.
