Bostitch HP118K 23 Gauge 1/2-Inch to 1-3/16-Inch Pin Nailer

This is a sweet gun!!! Bostitch makes the best tools for my money. Bostitch has a loyal customer for life.

I received this pin nailer as a birthday gift and have used it mostly for nailing very small pieces together for children's toys. I am very impressed with the ease of use and smooth handling. I had read other reviews about it not fully seating the pins but never found this to be the case. I drove 1" pins into red oak and they went fully below the surface. When set to the lighter setting they did protrude but that was expected.
Care must be used with the trigger arrangement but this is common for these machines. I found myself almost firing into the air when moving from one position to another.
Good price and good range of pins driven.
Well satisfied and would do it again.

So far so good has not failed like the previous nailer did anyway time will tell!

This nailer supplement other nailers I have as it is differenr gauge with different nail head.
Very usefull for cabinet making ans small on the spot repairs.
Execution of the nailer is very good and hopefully the make=quality.

The first nailer shipped to me had an air leak and had to be returned. The replacement was received with no problems. The second one worked just fine and came with good instruction and an assortment of pin sizes. I would have given it five stars except for the problems with the first unit.
