H2890SP 28 Degree Clipped Head Framing Nailer

This framing nailer is well worth the money.I've used Dewalt, Milwaukee, Porter Cable andMakita air framing nailers and this one works just as good.The difference is the price and how long it will last. You have to take good care of this one and cannot throw it around like you would with others on a jobsite.I ran both paper and wire collated (clipped and offset head) nails without any problems and kept air pressure between 70 and 80 psi on the low end of it's range.The depth control works well on both paper and wire collated nails.Where else are you going to find a 28 degree framing nailer for less than $90 ......

So far so good. It works like a charm. It is every bit as good as my bostitch.

Sturdy

Ran 1000+ clipped head nails not 1 jam

I bought this framing nailer for a home DIY project and didn't want to spend a lot of money on something I won't be using very often. I had a full box of Duo-Fast SM 615 3" 28-degree clipped-head framing nails from a job I did about 15 yrs. ago. That was the main reason for me choosing this particular model. So far, they've worked flawlessly after using about five clips. Duo-fast doesn't make the SM 615 version anymore. That version used plastic tape to hold the nails in the clip and they work great in this gun. However, Duo-Fast does make a paper tape version, SM 615P, which should also work in this gun. I run this gun at 110 psi and get good results. Make sure you remove the rubber nose piece for best performance, otherwise the nail will not set deep enough, even on the deepest setting. I can't think of why anybody would need a rubber nose piece on a framing nailer in the first place, but one is included. I'm very happy with this purchase and it definitely makes framing a lot easier than hand nailing.

Works as it should - good power - no complaints - used it to build a shed. Have some other projects on the drawing board. Will update at later date but so far so good.

NO CLUE ABOUT THIS ONE.. NOT RECOMMENDED

Hammer worked great with 3 inch nails. Seems to really have problems with the 2 3/8, drives double nails way too often. Probably have only drove about 200 nails so far.
