Pros & Cons
Pros
Bought this to repair a fence. Works great on flat nailing applications. Installed hardie plank siding with this nail gun. Never had a jam or miss-nail.
Light weight and compact. Included belt/rafter hook is very nice. Love the adjustable air discharge port.

Not my first bostitch tool. Currently at the factory authorized repair center. Returned it and reordered.

Bought this to install new siding lp smartside on my 24x24 garage

I found it difficult to use for angle nailing into corners because it didnt drive the nails fully into the product some of the time
