Old Reliable

This is one of those tools that you can always count on. Built like a tank. A little on the heavy side compared to some of the more modern plastic fantastic guns, but you don't notice it once you pick it up and work it a while. This is not a plastic gun.

It is well balanced and comfortable to work with. Jams are a very rare occurrence, but when they do happen they can be a pain to clear. I would prefer a lever to switch from bump to sequential fire rather than the ring under the trigger, But the ring does work OK. This guns magazine does not really care for 8's, the ends of the racks tend to jam together causing misfires and jams. I prefer a coil nailer for the lighter stuff anyhow, so it is not really a problem for me.

Pros
Durability,
Cons
poor finish (paint), weight
