   I think they turned out to be pretty poor tools, and PC quit making them almost out of embarrassment.

   A hardware store here had a sign-up sheet last year for people wanting the new Senco battery (no gas) trim gun, but I've never seen or heard any more about it...don't know if it was 15 or 16 ga.

   there's a new in box bammer sitting in one of the lumber yards, been there for as long as I can remember...

   I think there is a pretty good reason it's never sold.

   Biggest problem with the bammer (when it worked ok)  It is a real workout to use when compared to a "normal" air nailer. I have a bammer and for some strange reason it does work like it should, but ittakes almost as much effort as a hammer to use. The Senco cordless has not been seen for awhile, HD discounted theirs and got rid of them. The pasload for cordless is your best bet. For trim work I use a small compressor with my standard finish nailer.

   I bought the bammer when it first came about and could finally get it to shoot several nails in a row before a misfire when doing a t&g ceiling years back.

   That warning 'CautionHot! ' molded on the cylinder nose makes me think the thing was designed to really boot out the nailing rapid enough for a disclaimer like that.

   Never could get the shots that close together. And I can't for the life of me think of a job where you could shoot those little pin nails on something that fast to heat up the nose.

   Maybe manufacturing doll house fences?

   I went toolcrib of the north/amazon or visa versa, and they had 22 reviews,most to the negative.The one who gave good reviews were weekend warriors or huys that just did small jobs.

   For now I think i'll stick with my PC(with hose) that I bought about 7 years ago.The only thing I've had to repair on that is the driver twice. If it aint broke don't fix it.right?

   just hoping for something less cumbersome.

   thanks guys.
