Good deal on DW 15 ga. battery nailer

I received my “newsed” Reconditioned nailer that I ordered just two days ago. I’ve never used the 15 ga. but have seen the 16 perform flawlessly for the last six months. The 15 sells on Amazon for around 349, but I got it delivered for $228. The seller also has the brand new gun for around $300 delivered. It comes with a one year warranty and looks almost brand new. If you do small-to-medium trim jobs or punch-list work, you’ll love this gun. When I first saw the 16 on our jobs, I was a skeptic, but (obviously) now I’m a convert. http://stores.ebay.com/PAUL-B-MOYER-AND-SONS-INC

Had the 15 for about two days before I sent it back. Mind jammed on every other nail or so and drove me nuts. Seemed to be a design flaw with the return mechanism on the driver. Hope yours works well for you though, I did like it otherwise.

My 16ga Dewalt gun jammed every ten minutes of use - turned out being the Palode nails I was using - it didn't like em.Started using the PC nails and no problems at all since.If you look closely at them, the PC nails are much nicer finished compared to he Paslode's - the Paslodes were much rougher in manufacturer.They were both specifically supposed to be able to be used in the Dewalt gun - it just didn't like em.That's good - cause I really like the gun otherwise.JT
Can't say I've ever taken a close look at Paslode's nails, actually come to think of it I'm not sure I've ever even used them. I usually buy Senco for 15 gauge nails being as their available locally and seem shoot smoothly. I've used a box or two of Porter Cable nails as well and found the same thing.
I'm glad you like the gun though. Mine may have just been a fluke though, it was reconditioned as well. All in all, when I looked at why I bought it combined with how it jammed I just opted to return it.
Oh well, have a good one.
