Questions & Answers
Yes, it's ready to use, but it'll require at least a pancake-style compressor to provide the air flow specified in the directions. The air compressor, on the other hand, requires power.
That was not an issue for me. The trigger, on the other hand, is finicky. So if you press and pull the trigger and don't let go right away, two staples will be inserted.
It's a good one, to be sure. It has never caused me any problems, even when it is stuck or jammed.
If it takes more than two days, it's because the item isn't covered by the prime shipping agreement.

br>On the 3rd and 4th, it was used to put up 400 feet of welded wire fencing. I stapled about 1500 staples and never had a jam or other problem. Before we started each day, we oiled it with the included oil, as they recommended. br>This is our first purchase of a Freeman firearm. The rest are Hitachi or Bostitch products. We were able to save more than $150 as a result of our efforts. 00 by opting for the Freeman instead of the Hitachi. We were planning on buying the Hitachi model, but this one came with a 7-year warranty. It received a lot of positive feedback as well. I suppose only time will tell whether we made the right decision. br>If necessary, we will update this review.
Update 2: The jams I'm having are almost certainly caused by the staples' poor quality. The staples are held together by a weak glue. Strong glue is apparently assumed by the stapler's pusher. I'm currently in the process of planning my wedding. Breaking my staple sticks (which are very easy to break) and using the three shorter pieces Because the jams happen where the sticks break, I never load multiple sticks/pieces. br>br>I received a 5-star rating. This product has a four-star rating, but it has been downgraded to a three-star rating because the transition from one stick to another appears to be extremely sensitive. Despite the fact that there is enough room for two full sticks, you should never do so because it will almost certainly result in a jam. Longer staples may cause fewer jams, but I can't say for sure. br>br>Recent changes: br>br> Currently, I'm stuck in a rut. I used 304 stainless 1" staples for the vinyl soffit. I have the depth set to the bare minimum, and about one out of every twelve staples breaks inside the tip, necessitating time-consuming clearing. I'm not sure if it's because of my staples (which came broken with each stick), the depth setting, the wood, or the way I hold it in awkward situations. I believe the issue is worse when I load multiple stick fragments at once, but I haven't figured out why. br>br>======================================================================== The only thing I wish for is round wire staples instead of flat wire; I like the open magazine because it's easy to see how many staples are left. I had one snag that I was able to quickly resolve by unclipping the front clip. I was using 2" staples and was stuck because of a hard knot in the wood. br>br>Note: If you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, try using the words "creative Because I'm only a hacker, I don't usually spend this much on pneumatic tools.

It's probably better than I can justify, but I'll end up spending more on fasteners than tools, so I'll have to keep that in mind.
Fences that are eight feet tall. Phase I went off without a hitch and was a success. I had an issue with the trigger about halfway through Phase II. It worked fine yesterday, but when I tried to use it today, the stapler trigger wouldn't fire. I discovered that the pen that went through the trigger section had fallen out, and the "saddle" that engaged the trigger had also fallen out and was missing. I eventually located the pen, but not the "Saddle" that would activate the trigger. I used a couple of cut-outs in the end. To activate the trigger, Super glue two Popsicle sticks together and then glue them to the trigger's base. The pen appears to have been held in place by a rubber 0-. ring on the retaining side had either worn out and fallen off, or if it did have a c-ring, it had a c-ring on the retaining side. It was a clip that broke and fell off. The Mfg. is what I'm looking for. to send me a new pen, "saddle," and c-clip so that I can get rid of the "jury rigged" quick fix I used to finish the job. Otherwise, I believe it is a good product for the money, having successfully fired over 8,000 staples. It was far superior to the high-tech solution. I had previously used a one-dollar Bostitch.
This stapler is a personal favorite of mine. I couldn't be happier with the stapler, which I'm using to make "mini-books," despite the fact that no one I spoke with locally had ever heard of it, including Home Depot, which allegedly sells the product. pallets" made from recycled pallet wood It performs admirably. I've been utilizing 1 for quite some time now. I used 1/2" staples with 120PSI for this project, and it drove the staples in perfectly every time; I also like how it's covered by a seven-year warranty. year (! I also like that it comes with a lifetime warranty, which is unheard of, and that it's made with light tool oil, which means it'll last a long time.
There are 150 staples total. This staple gun was great until the trigger assembly broke after about 150 staples. I was putting up a fence and didn't have time to wait for a response. I had no choice but to return it and replace it with a new one from a big box retailer. The Hitachi white was on sale at the time, so I bought it. I liked the adjustable air vent and belt hook on the freeman, and it was definitely easier to aim. I would have sent it in for repair if I hadn't needed to finish my project that day; I liked it and it was $70 less than the next cheapest I could find.
It's a great price, and it works flawlessly. I purchased it to replace the roof on a camper and am extremely pleased with my purchase. Although the price was extremely low, this unit was not made cheaply. I'm glad I chose the Freeman unit because the quality is excellent. br>br>Updated review: I used this to replace the entire camper roof, and it works great. No problems, everything worked fine, there were no air leaks, and there was plenty of power to drive the long staples through two layers of plywood and into the frame. It's a five-star rating all the way. I'm glad I chose the Freeman to accompany me. Now that I'm in need of a framing nailer, I've decided on which brand to purchase.
