Editor's Review: Tool Test: 16-Ga. Finish Nailers

by Rick Arnold review date: January 1, 2009

This magnesium-body nailer is simple and solid. Like most nailers with rear-loading magazines that can’t be locked open, switching nails is a two-handed operation. On the plus side, it’s easy to see the length of the nails that are loaded. The exhaust port is difficult to rotate, and the depth selector spins a bit too easily. A push-and-spin switch makes it easy to select firing modes.
