I just bought one of these at Home Depot. Pulled it out of the box and went to UA-cam to get a quick overview. You are an excellent reviewer. You covered everything I wanted to know about first use and a demonstration of loading the nails. You went beyond by showing the issues with addressing the pressure for the nails. I am now going to do some test nails and now that the snow is mostly gone, I am spending the afternoon fixing damage from winter storms. I appreciate you for making this video.
All I can say is you should be hired to do reviews as you are very detailed and went over so much in so little time. BEST of all not annoying loud music. Thank you very much and your just got a new subscriber. See you on your next video. 🙂
TY for vid. Need one for stuff here and there for small projects that would need a shit load of nails. Like that fence. Not goin on a jobsite as a pro, So. If it Nails, Good nuff for me. TY for the vid. Concise and direct. SOLD!
yeah, try loosening anything with those allen wrenches. You'll need some vice grips to turn any of those screws. I just got one of these in the mail and the end where the nails come out is misaligned to the pencil looking part inside that open spring. It isn't centered on both x and y axis. That's clearly wrong. It's going to rub that part every time I do the bump/shoot method. And why do I need a red trigger just to do the bump/shoot method if the red trigger is the same size as the black one? The manual has many errors in it and weird omissions like how OFTEN you need to add lubrication. "frequently" isn't quite descriptive enough. I had to do a web search to answer that question. I guess for the $ I paid, I get what I paid for. Lightweight? 8 lbs is too heavy for anyone to lug around with one arm for an hour unless you are built like a tank or a professional weight lifter. I'll find out whether this thing works or not soon enough. Interesting fence cut you have going on at the end.
Thank you so much for this review! I am I 50 year old single accountant mom and I rely so much on UA-camrs and have saved thousands of dollars just over the past few years alone! The manual that you speak of doesn't show anything of the detail that you have gone over in this video. Like the simple thing of "actuation" of a "fastener" hahaha! There is no explanation on how to shoot the gosh darn nail! The little debt adjustment just meant up by the up by the shooter was very very informative too I couldn't find anything like that in the manual plus plus remember the manual is 3 or 4 times as big as we needed to be because of it S in 3 or 4 different languages yes and they don't split it all up in one language each section is split up in the language so you are Constantly thumbing from one point to another point. Worst manual ever. Thankyou!!!
After using this tool on several projects, I would recommend this for DIY projects but think it is too heavy for contract work. It also misfires occasionally. there are better tools for professional work - you get what you pay for.
@@ManuelHernandez-br6dy no, but some people say it is similar to the hitachi . A friend of mine said don't believe that rumor as it operates differently. I don't have any personal experience with it.
Good review. I was wondering how you remove the no mar head from the nailer? I want to use it primarily for framing and it would seem to be awkward to have the no mar head on while toe nailing.
I got one myself, but there a problem. It fired 2 nails at the same time and i have no clue how to adjust so that it will work properly. Any suggestion?
The Minimum Recommended Air Delivery is SCFM @ 90PSI. Last time I used it I believe I had PSI set at about 110. Maybe try 100 first. Make sure you oil before use. Good luck. Be careful. wear eye protection and I always wear hearing protection.
I've heard that this gun leaves a half dozen or so nails unused. Is this true? That would certainly make this an expensive gun to use over time, if true.
When the anti-dry-firing threshold is met the nailer will not fire. This protects the nailer. You simply add another strip of nails. You do not remove the 6 or 7 nails in the previous strip of nails.
That's hilarious. thanks for watching and watching so closely that you noticed I don't wear a ring. I don't wear jewelry. I think 1994 was the last time I wore my wedding ring. My wife wears hers and is ok with me not wearing mine. Thanks again.
I verified the nails I used were galvanized. They were Metabo HPT (was Hitachi Power Tools) 2-in 21 Hot-Dipped Galvanized Steel Pneumatic Framing Nails. Here is the link.... www.lowes.com/pd/Metabo-HPT-was-Hitachi-Power-Tools-2-in-21-Degree-Pneumatic-Framing-Nails-1000-Count/3341606 Thanks again for watching.
@@MarriedManWoodworking I have been a carpenter for 31 years and I definitely seen that. It was me! I nailed my left index finger and middle finger to a deck that I was building in 1996. I was also the person responsible for freeing my hand before going to the ER. The ER put my hand in a cast which caused my fingers to become infected and my Orthopedic thought that I was going to lose my two fingers. Luckily he caught it in time. Not a fun situation.
It's a 21 degree nailer but I have seen people say you can use nails from 20 to 22 degrees nails. I have only used 21 degree full round head framing nails. I hope that helps.
I have the craftsman 6 gallon with three tools. It keeps up ok with my pace. I don’t think you should get less than a 6 gallon. Make sure it has hose and quick connectors. I will attach link in the morning.
@@sharilyn8262 here is the link to the compressor I bought. It was on sale at that point but unfortunately it is not on sale right now. There are other options out there but remember you need a hose.

I was drawn to it because it looks alot like Porter Cable guns. Can't see how they can make um for that price. If you've ever disassembled any gun, the components are so similar it's pitiful. So how can the same type of items range so, in price? And now days, EVERYTHING, is made elsewhere anyway. I believe even senco. Maybe wrong on that. For 89 bucks though and any kind of decent warranty,, it's worth a shot. Get it? Shot. I've been a carpenter for 39 years. Always swung a hammer. But at 69, time for something to drive those 16d,s. I've used trim, pin , and finish guns, on fine work, but always framed with a hammer. I was looking at cordless framers. But 380 bucks? Not sure about that. I have 3 compressors, and probably 300 ft of hose. Seems a waste somehow to go cordless.
@@MarriedManWoodworking True, but you know, we only go around once, plus, beings these guns do shoot a range of common nails, whether fencing, siding, subfloors, etc. A nice cordless would be so versatile. One thing about the battery type is,, no gas sticks to buy. Recharge and ready to go. Thanks
I decided to buy it today, %20 off so $67 bucks and it'll come in use framing my basement, future shed, maybe I can use it on my next deck for the first I just swung a hammer. Not sure if they have the right nails/galvanized for outdoor exposure in a nail gun though.

Every time you adjust the gun make sure to disconnect the air hose for safety

Great work. Ty sir. Its exactly what i needed.
Thank you. I am glad it helped. I appreciate you leaving a comment and hope you enjoy your framing nailer. It has worked well for me
Would u recommend this for residential framing? Or is this more of a DIY tool?
After using this tool on several projects, I would recommend this for DIY projects but think it is too heavy for contract work. It also misfires occasionally. there are better tools for professional work - you get what you pay for.
Gotcha, have u ever used the aero pro nail gun?
@@ManuelHernandez-br6dy no, but some people say it is similar to the hitachi . A friend of mine said don't believe that rumor as it operates differently. I don't have any personal experience with it.

Good question - I will take a look.
Very good review, keep it going man!
Thanks, will do! Working on a miter saw review and some project build videos that will be out soon.
LEGEND!!!!
Top product all over the world. In denmark the brand is TRU. 70€.
That's cool. Thanks
Nice review. Diggin that shirt too!
Thanks for watching and thanks for teh compliment on the shirt - It is NOT my wife's favorite shirt.
What psi worked the best for you?
70 to 115
I got one myself, but there a problem. It fired 2 nails at the same time and i have no clue how to adjust so that it will work properly. Any suggestion?
Great video! what compressor do you use for the framing nailer?
I used the Craftsman 6-Gallon Single Stage Portable Electric Pancake Air Compressor model #CMEC3KIT. thanks for watching and commenting.
@@MarriedManWoodworking Thank you
@@AlexisMartinez-nj1se You are welcome.
The tip of mine seems really loose. I tightened it but realized maybe I shouldn’t have? Is this normal?
What pressure do you recommend to put up a wood fence...
would depend on how dense the wood is. Start at 90 psi on some scrap wood and see what that does. Adjust accordingly.
It looks like it misfires/was misfiring sometimes, is this fair to say?
I'm trying to use mine for the first time. Didn't work at 90psi. What are you using. A bit intimidating.
The Minimum Recommended Air Delivery is SCFM @ 90PSI. Last time I used it I believe I had PSI set at about 110. Maybe try 100 first. Make sure you oil before use. Good luck. Be careful. wear eye protection and I always wear hearing protection.
@@MarriedManWoodworking Thank you so much. 😊
@@sharilyn8262 you are welcome.
It says 12 guage nails can we use 21 guage thru that nail gun
Unless you remove the head protector it doesn't sink the nail toenailing

@@MarriedManWoodworking Thanks for that info. Makes sense. I could not imagine them making a device work that way.
What is the minimum air compressor to get to make that work...
75 psi I believe the manual says.
No se le puede instalar algun gancho ?
Something seems fishy... UA-cam channel is "Married Man Woodworking", but... He's not wearing a ring! We've been bamboozled!

Let's do a review a year after it was bought
Great idea. I will be working on enclosing under a deck soon. That will be a good time for a review. Thanks.

Why are you using non galvanized nails outside. Please forgive me if I am mistaken.
I purchased galvanized nails - 2 inch ring shank. I will double check the box tomorrow and reply again. Thanks for watching.
