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

by Rick Arnold review date: January 1, 2009

This nailer has a lot of smaller features that add up to a decent tool. The depth adjustment is easy and unobtrusive; it includes a quality belt hook, a rotating exhaust port, and a sequential/bump-firing selector switch. It’s also the only model I tested that comes with a swiveling air-hose connector, which helps to keep the supply hose lying flat. The fasteners slide in and out of the rear-loading magazine easily when the pusher is locked out of the way, but there is no way to see the length of fasteners in the magazine.
