Amazon.com Review
Framing, siding, decking, attaching wood to masonry, you name it, this versatile and lightweight framing nailer from Bostitch does it all. This clipped-head nail gun is equipped with a patented pushbutton adjustable depth guide that sets the nail to desired depths quickly and conveniently. A depth-of-drive control of course means there’s no adjusting compressor pressure, but also that you don’t have to fumble for tools when you’re standing on a steep roof. Just set the compressor at 80 psi and adjust the depth as needed.
Weighing just 7.6 pounds, the tool handles great in tight quarters like attics and during otherwise shoulder-burning overhead tasks. The innovative design is a big plus when nailing top plates to floor joints or when crawling under that low deck to reinforce the new hot-tub. A factory installed sequential trigger and Bostitch’s exclusive Smart Trigger ensure optimal control and faster production. The trigger works as either a sequential or bump fire trigger. A notched, 16-inch layout indicator on the magazine helps achieve correct distance between studs in a matter of seconds. And, a lightweight magnesium housing means easy handling and unsurpassed durability.
The unit drives 2- to 3-1/2-inch wire-collated framing nails. One of the most powerful framers on the market, this nailer features 1,050 inch-pounds of driving power for tackling even toughest engineered lumber applications. And, bolt-on, steel wear guards with integrated rubber skid pads protect the tool from bumps and drops for durability and years of use. –Brian D. Olson

This gun is the industry standard framing gun in my opinion.n
The nails are readilly available in a wide variety of sizes and finishes. I run this gun off a small bostich (pancake) compressor for low duty jobs. For rapid fire nailing I need to use a larger compressor.n
Will last you forever if you oil it every day. I have seen guns with leaky o-rings but this is caused by letting them dry out. Also, be sure to unplug the air line at the end of the day especially if freezing temps are expected at the site (or in your truck) overnight.

Really like this product. Haven’t had any problems with it. It can take paper collated nails to, which is quite handy. My boss has a similar Bostitch gun and he has had that for about 15 years.

I have used almost every brand and type of framing nailer over the span of 20 years. this nailer is as close to perfection as i have seen. i was afraid it may have poor durability because of it’s extreme light weight, but over the last 2 years, a million+ nails, and a few nasty falls it has crushed all my fears. I can’t remember one jamb, sinks nails in lvl and other lam mat. better than any other gun i’ve used, and i think at this point it’s takenthe durability prize. my only complaint would be the smart trigger acts goofy at times since day one. maybe by now bostitch has smartend up the goofy thing. i think i bought the first one they sold.
i noticed one reviewer said nails are hard to find for this gun, “special order” i think he said. maybe out west (WA?) where he is, but around here (PA) 28 wire is the standard. They are everywhere. i’ve even bought them at a back woods mom and pop hardware store.

The best, most durable nailer I have ever used. Very light and can really drive nails through glue-lam boards, very impressed.
