SENCO FinishPro® 18MG, 2-1/8" 18-Gauge Brad Nailer (ProSeries)

The nails I shoot are 18 gauge because I am a finish carpenter. It got off to a pretty good start. This is a decently comfortable and light shirt. This tip is great and I like how easily it can be removed from the safety. It also comes with a rotating connection, which I find useful. The shape and size of the trigger are nice, but the trigger is kind of hard to pull compared to my DeWalt. However, the magazine ridge found to hold the nails in place wore out after about two months of constant use. As a result, the nails were getting stuck in the top of the board. It was so difficult to remove a stuck nail because I had to keep opening it. After twisting a nail in half with the hammer, it bent downward sharply so that it got stuck up to half way down and rendered the The magazine of this gun is made of plastic. It should be made of Similarly, I have similar problems with our DeWalts in terms of the ridge wearing In contrast, it took two years on those guns. Although it is heavy, I might try the Makita or perhaps just buy a few more Dewalts.

This is who we are. It was 11 months ago when I bought 2 of them. It is our goal to build professional cabinets using low production levels. There is now a leak at the drive pin in 1 of the guns. Do not waste your time with their warranty, since it doesn't cover O rings, drive pins or anything else that might go wrong in normal usage. Basically, if you use it and it breaks you're out of luck because the warranty isn't valid.

The bosses porter cable gun is an excellent product. I had been using it in the field and I decided to get It has been a pleasure installing and constructing cabinets for the past 9 years. There have been numerous Senco guns used by us, but this one has lived up My favorite feature is the air outlet (for the air to exit), which is located at the bottom of the handle so I don't have to worry about the air shooting in my face. It can also be adjusted 360 degrees. I also like the option of being able to shoot two or more times after the head is gaged. In addition to that, there is a depth (how deep to sink the nail head). The end is protected so that the material will not be damaged. This is ideal for casings and crowns to be lacquered on-site. However, I would recommend having a micropin (headless pinner) for the more compact molding, and even large molding depending on the I bought a half horse power compressor to go along with it, and that worked great as well. The nail size ranges from 5/8 up to 2 1/8, and the case is included.

The color and design of this nail tool looks and feels good, and that's what I expect from Senco. There is another 18g nailer listed that is a bit smaller and easier to use in small areas. However, I always go back to this whenever I need to. Having an oilless system is a great feature. I was always told by my dad to take care of your tools, and you will be able to look after them. It's better for me if I have less maintenance to do. In the future, if I encounter problems, I will announce them here. Nonetheless, I am impressed for the time being.

There is a lot of jamming with this gun. There is a problem with nails fitting parallel to drive pins in the plastic magazine. There's at least no need to use a tool. The over molding is a bit loose and sloppy, but the swivel fitting is great. It would have been better to see silicone in the casting with sprues. Senco logo is just a sticker, not embossed like their other guns. Stick 50,000 nails into this gun after one year and it will be toast.

Update The gun wasn't being run at the right pressure, I believe. After a few uses, the magazine is no longer stuck and works well. Because the safety mechanism was missing one day, I locked it out into firing contactless, and it now works fine. With a single pull of the trigger, I can also fire out brads across the room at my co-workers. A brief update I'm still working on it as of 11/2020. 1 does not want to be fed now Brads 1/2 inch in diameter. You can use 1- since there is no ridge to support them in the magazine A quarter inch or a one inch Three-quarters of an inch, not one Half an inch. A brief update The pin won't fire straight anymore now that this thing has been repaired. Magazines are out of order. This piece of junk is a total waste of time.

If only Senco would make nail guns again for work for the love of GOD. Junk like this is worthless. It is a good idea to save.

I purchased this nailer because my old (over 20 years) brad nailer quit on me for no apparent reason, and I needed one right away. There are a number of Senco nailers I have, and every one has lasted I like this nailer more than my old one, but it is larger than my old one. It's convenient that the swivel air fitting can be angled in both directions and that the depth adjustment is simple and convenient. The place is quieter than most others, as well. If you are wondering about going oil-free, here are some tips on how to do it I have two other senco guns that are oil-lubricated thanks to my cousin Each is older than 15 years, but both are still in continuous operation. In addition to these, the nailers have a lot of other features that I've never seen in any other nailer. The nailer is worth every penny of its price. When my old nailer quit, I took it apart one weekend, blew it out with some air and reassembled it to get it working again. Despite being an oiler, it seemed completely clean inside. Perhaps there was just a little congestion that was cleaned out so who knows maybe it's good for another 20 years. It's really small, which is why I like it so much.

I got a jam when I tried it the first time with I cleared the jamming and tried both 1" and 5/8", and both of them I had to adjust the depth to countersink a bit, but that's the norm. After replacing all the material on a screened in porch with 1" nails, I used about 100 nails to reattach the trim. There were no problems, everything worked fine. A table that was damaged by 5/8" nails was repaired using 5/8" nails Six trim pieces were missing when the trim was Despite the fact that some of the nails couldn't be set with the depth gauge, it otherwise worked just fine. I tried the 2" nails later on the test boards and the compressor pressure had to be increased to about 120 pounds but after that it worked great. I don't have to deal with traffic jams anymore. On the 2" (which I was given), I used an unknown brand of nails, and Hitachi nails on the 5/8" and 1". The lowest count Senco nails I could find at Lowe's were only 3,000 count so I bought them from There is a statement in the manual that suggests you should only use Senco, but that cannot be true. You can also legally protect yourself if you want to. My favorite aspect about the computer is how smooth and solid it feels and operates. To check whether the red indicator for low nail supply is on or off, you have to keep looking. If it is out, the fire will dry up and the wood will be marked. Having a case with space to fit a small pack or two of nails is very convenient. In tight spaces, the swivel air connector is a great idea. Right now, it is a hindrance to me since I haven't used the belt clip yet. In order to fit the gun back into the case it has to be rotated all the way. There are only a few things to consider. Until now, I have enjoyed it very much. I would buy again if the price is right.
