   I have the PC 350 round head nailer, and normally I recommend PC tools.  But I've had enough of this one.  I also have a Bostich 15 ga trim nailer, which I like.  Two problems with the PC ... when it jams (not often), it's a bear to clear.  You hav e to use an allen wrench, which might be in the tool case unless it has been lost.  And two, the pins that hold the trigger keep coming loose.  One is the pivot pin, which was lost long ago and was replaced by a piece of 12 ga ground wire ... not elegant, but it works.  The other pin has something to do with tripping the air release to fire the nail.  It is also located in the trigger, and when it works loose, the trigger pulls but all you get is a soft pfft of air, and you think the nose has not been depressed enough, so you let up and retry, and get pfft again.  I keep hoping someone will steal it.

    

   I'm sorry, I thought you wanted it done the right way.

   I have the PC.  Dropped it off the roof about 15 feet high and it hit the concrete with the buisness end. It still works without jamming.

   i have the bostich one and also dropped it about 15 feet onto concrete more than once. it works very well. the only issue i have with mine is the nailing tip doesn't have barbs on it to dig into the wood so toe-nailing can be a pain sometimes.

   Bostwich of Porter?!?
   sounds like a good beer....LOL
   Actually, I was looking at the latest Tool Crib catalogue yesterday & shaking my head...too many choices, some of which don't make sense (i.e. having to buy two different brad nailers from the same man. to shoot a full range of sizes....my little Makita brader goes full range...)
   But seriously, I'd go with Bostik nailers.....IMHO most current PC stuff is not very good, whereas Bostik has alway been good....
