No nails are available at a reasonable price in Australia. Works well but you can't just go to the shops to buy nails you have to order them in at 8 to 10 time the price. Do not buy if you live in Australia

I bought this nail gun for a single project - building a catio (cat patio) for my two Bengals. I started looking and sorted by customer reviews. Not surprisingly, the top rated were names like Bostitch and Milwaukee, and costing $210 - $335. In the middle of them was this gun, priced at $113, and it included a storage case.I already owned a Bostitch connector nail gun and I was tempted, but I couldn't justify the extra $100 for a gun I might never use again. That's why the case is such a big deal. It's nothing fancy, but it holds the tool and will protect it until (if!) I need it again. Oh yes, it also came with a small vial of oil. That's not a big deal because that stuff is pretty cheap, but it could save a time-sucking run to the store just when you're getting started.If you're a pro, you're probably not looking here anyways, and this might not be the right gun for daily use. But, for the DIY that wants to control costs, I recommend this tool. Over the course of the Catio, I had no real issues. There'd be an occasional dry fire, usually after I'd reloaded. I'd also have occasional nails standing half-inch proud. I attribute that to my compressor. It's a small tank and designed for low-noise, not huge volumes. I think the gun asked for more air than the compressor could handle.I never tested the bump firing mode. I might be a skilled DIY, but I'm also nearly 70 and I'll leave that for the pros.

I brought this out and oiled as recommended to only lead to multiple nails being fired or being jammed. I used a few different variations of nails and still not working properly. I am very disappointed in this product - I would not recommend it.

Not going to lie, I was hesitant when purchased it. This nailer is my first nailer ever. It has a beautiful finish to look at and you kinda don't want to scuff it up. As a DIYer who is turning into a novice construction person. this nail gun has performed excellently for my project of a 1200 sq house remodel. However, after purchasing a Bostitch 21-degree nailer, there are some differences I would like to sharePro: redirect airflow (great)Powerful nailer (too good at times)molded cases ( a must)Cons:heavier than Bostitch magnesium castingno rafter hook, this is a must feature because of the weight of the item, you need to be able to hook it to your tool belt, ladder, etcDouble fire, it may be the airflow coming from your compressor or the sensitivity of the triggerno adjustable nailer firing rate, it will put through the wood at timesOverall, it is a go, buy it up. For the price point, Freeman could even match Bostitch with the addition of an adjustable rafter hook and nailer fire adjustor. Now for the longevity of the item, I don't know, but it is built solid as a rock so I believe it will last a long time if you make sure to oil it every time before using

Super efficace, mais le degré des clous est un peu difficile à trouver

Product arrived with no case and looked like the box had been through a grinding mill. I have contacted Freeman about the missing case and will wait to see what the result is.

I had no problem with the nailer framing my 12x15 workshop. It is a little heavy for over head work and a little bulky working between the joists but overall it did the job and I’ve no complaints, and it’s a good price. However in the UK 21degree nailers are not so common so getting the collated nails was not easy.

This is my first compressed air tool, and I really deliberated on whether or not to get one. Well, what was I thinking??? I'm building a shed, and honestly I now couldn't contemplate doing it without a tool like this, hammering in every nail by hand! For any framing job, don't hesitate and get yourself a compressed air driven framing nailer. You absolutely won't regret it.I was not familiar with the Freeman brand, but my research of amazon.com reviews made this my choice, at around the lower-to-middle end of the price range. Reviews were good, and I was drawn to the 7-year warranty and the fact that it comes with a case. I like to really take care of my tools, and I couldn't imagine purchasing an item like this without a case - which eliminated a lot of the competition.One of the reviewers I read commented on the look of the tool. I'm of the same mindset, in that a tool has to look good as well as perform well. After opening the shipping box and the tool's case, I was awed by the look of the tool. It was sitting there so snugly in the provided case, along with a small bag of Allen screws and a tiny oil container/dispenser (you use the oil to instill a few drops into the air inlet of the tool before every time you use it). The tool is a fine-looking piece of well-made craftsmanship, and really nice-looking.On to using the tool. Well, it is a lot bigger than I expected. Never having used one of these, I was expecting something about the size of an electrical drill. No, it's about 50% bigger! And kind of heavy (around 8.5 lbs). Not a problem. I am a 5' 5", 160 lbs male and had no problem with the weight.I just finished framing the floor of my shed, and wow, this wonderful tool performed flawlessly! It just drives those 3" nails in with a soft-sounding "poof"! It's easy to change the depth of the nail with a simple turn of the adjusting screw. When the tool arrives, it has a guard on the nozzle to protect the working surfacing from being marked. This is a great feature, but I found it seems to reduce the driving power slightly. If you're not worried about marring the working surface, then don't use it. I also love the feature that lets you direct the exhaust to any angle around 360 degrees.If you are new to compressed air tools, you will need a compressor to use this tool. I bought the and it has been perfect. You will absolutely need an accessory kit as well, like this one: .Just one word of caution - the manual is a bit short on instruction, so you will have to do a little bit of figuring out on your own.Well, I'm so impressed with Freeman's framing nailer - and NO, I have not been given any incentives to write a review. I'm just so pleased with this thing. Go ahead and get it!

This is a very good tool for DIY use. I installed 2”X4” cross-members between trusses and ¾”plywood flooring in an attic space using this nailer. I now have over 400 s.f. of usable storage that I can fill with more useless junk :) Work went quick and I did not have any troubles with this tool. Some reviewers stated that they could not “toe-nail”, but I had no trouble using this technique. The only complaint I have is that there were 4 nails left-over each time the nailer had to be reloaded. Now I have over 240 single nails (out of 3 boxes of 1000 nails each, which is an 8% loss) that won’t work in the gun. Of course, I will use them on other projects using the old hammer stand-by. This is the only reason I did not give it 5 stars.The gun comes with a hard plastic case which makes it easier to store and protect when not in use. It arrived quickly and on time.Overall, great value and I am very satisfied.
