Very happy with all my P/C nailers and staplers However, gun works great. I'm pretty happy with the stapler purchase. Very difficult to get staples for this or any medium or large crown stapler.
I've had one jam which I was able to easily clear and normally use single shot mode. I purchased the PC stapler and siding attachment from Amazon. As another rater stated, the siding attachment does take a little training to use properly but does work well. I purchased coated staples and the material tears apart before the staples move. I'm very pleased with both purchases. So far I've used the stapler for OSB sheathing, 3/4" Ply shelving, and vinyl siding.
Even when the staple hit screwheads inside the wood it just mashed the staple on out and did not jam. Very solid well build tool. It's easy on air, have only used appox.
direction is great and never had to try the toolless unjamming deal. And cheapest stapler that will handle 2 inch staples. The ease ( and toolless also) change from single trigger pull to bump staple'n is great.
Could not be happier with this stapler. and air ex. With everything figured in I dont see how you can get a better 1 to 2 inch stapler or one that is cheaper.
4000 staples, but never had 1 jam. The toolless depth adj.
I would strongly recommend you adding a medium crown stapler to your collection. It will drive a 2" staple with ease. It was great for installing shelving, sheathing, and working with plywood.
Well. Once you get it dialed in - the stapler with the vinyl nose is a time saver for sure. I already own a framing gun, finish gun, roofing gun, and a narrow crown stapler, so why did I need another gun.
Since then, I have found that it really fills a gap where you need something more substantial than a finish nail, but a framing nail is too much. You will find yourself reaching for it more often than you would believe. I originally bought it to install vinyl siding on a 1000 SF workshop.
When working with vinyl, it has a bit of a learning curve and it take a little bit of work to get your depth and aim correct.
If you want a decent gun for an affordable price the Porter Cable is a good one. We use 2 of these guns on a regular basis and have had no problems other then the occisioanl vapor lock which is easily fixed by removing air line momentarily. Unit comes with storage case. Easy to load and shoots common staple sizes.
