This finish nailer arrived 2 days after order, even with free shipping. I chose it over the Senco Fusion after many days of deliberation. I own a Bosch 18v set and rate it as the best 18v set out there. I am a contractor and a tool-freak, and have used sets from Hitachi, DeWalt, Makita, etc. This gun is not cheap, so I hope I get what I paid for.I have only had the Bosch Finish Nailer for about 12 hours, but as there are NO reviews of this product I thought I would share my first impressions, so here we go:
Firstly, the case is great, 5 stars. The gun feels very solid, but quite heavy. I like it, - as generally heavy=tough. It is bigger then a Paslode finish nailer (which I also use, but is temperamental due to poor maintenance (not mine), and costly with those gas cartridges) I put a stick of Paslode 2" nails in and started firing away. Once the depth is set it consistently shot the whole stick into a 2x8 at a rate of perhaps 2 a second. The gun has little recoil (due to its solidity (nice word for weight)) and makes a good solid thwack noise. As far as I can tell there is no bump-fire mode, but anyone who wants to bump-fire a finish nailer is a tool. The gun takes about half a second to wind up once the trigger is pulled, and then shoots the nail. I think it works using a flywheel like the DeWalt cordless nailer. I shot into plywood and framing lumber, no solid oak yet.
The DeWalt nailer has good reviews, and is cheaper, but I am not impressed with the way DeWalt has been heading over the last few years, and I like to try new stuff.
I need to spend more time with the gun, but first impressions are great. If you are not a complete wimp the weight of the gun will not bother you, and if this gun holds up like the rest of the Bosch stuff I have bought, then it will be a great addition to my toolbox. I love that it needs nothing but a battery to power.
I will update this review as soon as I have put the gun through it's paces. Might even post a video.
