I didn't notice anything obviously better between the Senco, Porter Cable, Bostitch, etc. But when you read the reviews, no one ever seems to be able to dislike a Senco nailer. Have you noticed this trend? So, this was enough reason for me to spend the few extra dollars on the Senco.

I must say that I am in no way disappointed with this nailer's performance. I put up baseboards around a 21x21 room with some funny angles, as well as casing on a couple doors. It always sunk that little 2" brad just right. No surprises at all. Never a jam. It didn't mar that pre-primed soft molding, either. I really felt this thing was on my side, trying to accomplish the same thing I was. One nice feature is the rear exhaust. The exhaust air comes out the back of the tool, just above the air inlet. Not much chance of staining your work with the oily discharge air.

The only complaint I can come up with is the way the cushion grip is designed. The grip is a cushy material that is wrapped around the body. But the material overlaps itself on the bottom side of the grip, near the trigger. It feels a little funny at first, and I wonder if it will forever remain stuck to itself, or if this will someday seperate and start peeling away. Oh well, I can't take points away for something I only fear will happen.

I definitely recommend this nailer to anyone in the market for one.

It is a descent gun, we have 75+ of them at work and they are descent except for a few very common problems.

1. If you have one of the first ones off the line the triggers have a tendency to not work correctly. The safety doesn't keep the gun from firing, so in other words you can pull the trigger and the gun will fire without pushing it against anything. There was a recall for the triggers, so I am assuming the more recently built ones are fixed.

2. We have had problems with the guns not setting the nails completely. It happens in about 10% of them. When the gun is pushed against the wood, the tip of the gun won't go all the way against it, doesn't matter if you have the depth set to the deepest setting. This can be fixed by grinding down the safey and the nose a little bit.

3. Sometimes the gun won't shoot a nail. It will fire, but the firing pin will go between the nails and the casing. I am not sure if it is the nails not sliding ahead far enough or something else. This could be the brand of nails.

But overall nothing that would keep me from buying another one.

This kit includes a powerful oil-free compressor, 3 finish and trim tools, tool lubricant, finish nails, brad nails, staples, and a canvas tool bag to keep everything organized. View larger.

Three Dependable Tools for Handling Tough Jobs
The included 16-Gauge Straight Finish Nailer offers a convenient, adjustable depth guide and a quick-release nose for fast jam clearing. It is designed for handling nails 1 to 2-1/2 inches long, making it a great pick for moldings and door and window casing applications. The nailer provides 300 in./lbs. of driving power, a magazine capacity of 100 nails, and weighs in at four pounds.

Ideal for everything from staircases to cabinetry applications, the included 18-Gauge Brad Nailer makes use of the adjustable depth guide to set nails to desired depths quickly and conveniently. Behind its fast, reliable performance is the ability to deliver 145 in./lbs. of driving power. This nailer handles 18-gauge brads from 5/8 to 2 inches and weighs just 2.7 pounds.

Also included in the kit is the 18-Gauge Narrow Crown Finish Stapler, because whether you're working with cabinetry, floor underlayment, or upholstering furniture, a stapler is the right tool for the job. This stapler utilizes 135 in./lbs. of drive power to secure 7/32-inch narrow crown staples, features a bottom-load magazine for fast loading and easy jam clearing, and weighs 2.6 pounds.

All three of these tools offer a magazine capacity of 100 fasteners, so you don't constantly have to stop and reload, and each one is backed by a manufacturer's 7 year limited warranty.

This compressor's oil-free pump design requires less maintenance than traditional models, and its large, six-gallon reserve tank includes a ball-type drain valve for easy drainage at the end of each day. It also employs an impact-resistant composite shroud to protect important gauges from job-site damage.

Heavy-Duty Motor Operates Smoothly and Quietly
The compressor's 2.0 HP (Peak), 1.5 HP running motor features easy startup and an expert design that draws 12 Amps without tripping your circuit breakers, so work can be done hassle-free. And the compressor's operation acoustics run at a quiet 72 dBA, making it ideal for use in smaller or more populated areas. The compressor is backed by a 1 year warranty.

Unlike kits that leave you guessing what accessories you need to get started, this tool and compressor combo comes with a heavy-duty airline that includes the necessary fittings, along with 3,000 appropriate fasteners and a canvas case to help you keep everything organized.

Weighing just 1.9 pounds, this tool packs an impressive 145 in./lbs. of driving power. The tool’s innovative magnesium frame means optimal durability, despite the light weight. It drives 18-gauge brads from 5/8- to 1-1/4-inches in length. (If you’re looking for a bit more power and a 2-inch nail capacity, this tool has a bigger brother. The BT200K-2 features 170 in./lbs. of torque.) An ultra-quiet rear exhaust rotates 360 degrees, which is great for working in tight quarters where it’s difficult to dodge discharge, or around corners and odd-shape workpieces. Offering another big step forward in brad nailing, the tool’s open nose design ensures complete access to the drive channel for fast and simple jam clearing. And, an quick-access depth adjustment enables quick changes on the fly.

A scrupulously ergonomic design offers unsurpassed balance and accuracy. The tool responds to slight movements of the wrist like it knows where you want to go. Comfortable for both right- and left-hand users, the handle features a molded rubber grip for an outstanding combination of comfort and durability. A highly visible reload indicator lets you know when more fasteners are needed, and an exclusive magnetic strip holds fasteners in place for remarkably smooth loading operations--a handy feature for precarious ladder work. Best of all, the adjustable depth control combines with the work protecting no-mar tip to make precise countersinking a breeze. --Brian D. Olson

What’s in the Box
BT125K-2 18-gauge brad nailer, ¼-inch air fitting, 1000 1- to ¼-inch brads, durable carrying case, Allen wrench, extra no-mar tip.

Like all of Milwaukee’s new nailers, this is incredibly light, even fully loaded, and its cool, compact size makes it a cinch to tote and use, especially in awkward positions and at the tail end of a long day of trim installation. But it’s crowded at the top of the list: Despite their light weight, these nailers are heavyweights in the power department. The 7150-21 effortlessly drives 5/8" to 2-1/8" brads and, best of all, its reload indicator even alerts you when your magazine’s nearly empty. Loading more fasteners takes a couple of seconds at most, and that means more money in your pocket. Another big tip of the hat to Milwaukee for incorporating both sequential and bump firing modes, accessible just by turning a knob, so when speed is a need, you’re ready to go, but precision is at your fingertips too. We like the quality built into this tool, from the magnesium housing and oil-free motor to the easily adjustable air deflector and muffler, as well as the convenient rafter hook for storage. The non-marring nosepiece won’t deface your work surface, and there’s even a self-cleaning air filter in the tool handle, keeping dust and dirt out of the tool’s workings – and that means longer tool life. In hand, this nailer feels great: light, comfortable, agile, beautifully balanced, and dare we say, fun to use. Tool-free depth adjustment is on-the-mark reliable, fast and easy. And should the nails jam, clearing is a snap with the tool-free jam release. Bravo, Milwaukee.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste
