Very good tool at a competative price. It lightweight and drives one inch staples through dry, seasoned oak with ease. Loading is simple and quick.
This is the only pneumatic stapler I've owned, so I can't compare it to others. However, after using the stapler for over a year for a variety of tasks, I have found the tool highly satisfactory. I've not experienced any jams. The tool is light weight, comfortable to hold, and easy to use.
I have no idea what Mr.John P. The #1 problem any owner will have will occure when sawdust, and other harsh grit is left in and around the gun. 20 drops per 1000 staples or brads for that matter is a good starting point.The #3 problem is caused by not enough air pressure. Wolfe says he did.We shoot UP. and this can be a big one for some off brand nails.This is a very good gun. DOWN. Wolfe is talking about.We have over 20 of these and have never had one single problem as Mr. The #2 problem is caused by NOT oiling the gun.
SIDEWAYS. EVERYWAY you can think of.And use both the NS100A and the NS150A guns. 50 lbs is a good safe point to use.The #4 problem is not using PORTER CABLE BRAND staples, nails or brads. Porter Cable only puts out GOOD GUNS.In fact I have to say that 75% of all complaints people have with these guns are due to one of the above reasons.*Porter Cable* 100 years and still #1 in the industry.ShowCase Cabinet & Door Co."Quality At Every Angle" Since 1976
This pneumatic stapler was an unexpected new advance for me,coming free as a bonus after buying a Porter-Cable compressor/finish nailer/brad nailer package. Aside from that, it's a dream tool for a nightmare job. As soon as I started using this stapler instead of a hammer and roofing nails, the time consumed dropped by about 75%.
I didn't even know why they call it a "crown" stapler-it's not used for crown molding. You put the wire up on the wall, and after a very satisfying bam bam bam, it's done.I'm sure the pros use a wider staple, or a staple with a wider "crown", so to speak. At first, I didn't know where you use a stapler instead of a nailer.
And the job was actually fun, instead of a thing that elicited curses and involuntary procrastination. It sat unused for several months.Then one day I saw some professionals putting up stucco wire-a chore I'd always hated-with a stapler. Bingo.
With this unit, you have to take a couple seconds each time to center the nose on the wire because the staple is only a quarter of an inch wide. I actually look for stuff to use it on (soffits, cedar shingles) because it's such a pleasure to use.
I pull the trigger, it drives the staple. It will perform for you in kind. I have had this stapler for three years. I treat it correctly. It's great too. I have driven thousands of staples and no jams so far. You don't have to BABY it but just treat it at least like you like it.
When I recently needed a framing nailer I didn't look far. Every time I pick it up it delivers. I haven't had any problems finding staples. I oil the tool regularly and filter the air. As far as I'm concerned, if you treat this tool right, it will treat you right. The Porter-Cable framing nailer was what I got. that affirms my assumption: Porter Cable makes great products.Get it before it's too late.
