I am a bit concerned about the operation at start-up. It takes a dozen or so staples to get it to working correctly. It will not set the staple until you waste a dozen or so to "warm up" the gun.
Not wanting to hand hammer 4 to 5 thousand staples, I bought a Hitachi N5008AC Stapler. I've tried many brands of nail guns - Senco, Porter Cable and others, only to have them go belly up and face a repair bill which is greater than the cost of the original gun. I'm a redwood/cedar fencing contractor. It was superb. Several years ago I switched to Hitachi framers and (15 gauge) finish nailers and have never had a single breakdown - and they're used day in and day out. Recently I contacted to build a 300+ foot wire fence. Not a single glitch in that many firings. I highly recommend this stapler.
I turn my compressor down or up according to application anyway. So far I have shot almost 10,100 staples through it without a jam. A very solid staple gun. If you are using kiln dried white cedar shingles you don't want to be hitting them with 110 psi even if the depth is set, get me. Depth adjustment is decent. haven't used that to much so far. I have also used this tool for Sheetrock strapping using 2" staples, but primarily cedar shingle siding. A great multipurpose and light gun.
I have two of these and they work great, hitachi makes superior air nailers and this is no exception.
this gun has worked perfectly for years, so i bought another one.adjustable depth is very nice and the lightweight makes all day shooting easier. highly recommended.
