Love it, love it, love it !!! -- I've been waiting years for this nailer to come out. While waiting I have bought and used several other 2" brad nailers. Not one compared very well against Senco's brad nailer, The SLP 20. It operates so much more smoothly , it isn't even funny. The oil-less design was revolutionary. Not only is it more convenient, it saves your work from oil stains. Still, I knew that Senco would one day produce a 2" brad nailer of their own. I also knew it would be the very best. I have to say ,it was worth the wait. Everything about it says quality. It carries all the best from the SLP 20 and improves on it. From the first brad you drive you will know just how good it is. Sooo smooth. No kick back like the other guns. Sooo powerful. You will never wonder if it's going to sink the nail. The adjustable depth of drive and exhaust are the icing on the cake. I also like the rubbery grip. It's very nice to hold. I have had no jams but if you ever do , they are easy to clear. Top it off with a hard to lose no mar tip and the ability to drive 2 1/8" brads and you have the best brad nailer at any price , bar none. Plus it's made in the U.S.A. all for just a few more dollars than the "cheapies". My imports are now for sale.
Reviews:
Very well thought out, a great tool -- Have been through lots of nailers. Grizzly, Airy, Dewalt, Porter Cable, Bostitch. I've been using an Airy 1 9/16 brad nailer for years, and it worked flawlessly, but I find that the extra 7/16 really helps with certain kind of trim, so I decided that a 2" gun was in order. I use the Senco SFN40 angle finish nailer and figured that this gun was of the same quality. I was not disappointed. I looked at the Paslode, but it was so light and packed with little plastic pieces that I was afraid it would break in no time. Plus their warranty was not as good as Senco's. Plus, Senco customer support is AWESOME! Worth the extra price of their gear. I've installed a couple of thousand feet of molding so far with this gun and would recommend it highly!!
Great job Senco. You have a customer for life
Excellent Nailer! -- I started to grab my 16gauge Paslode to nail my face frame on a base cabinet I have built for my shop. It dawned on me that I had received this Senco FP25XP for X-MAS. I plugged it onto my air hose, gave a few test fires into some scrap 3/4" Oak plywood and started nailing. It is so lite and easy to use, you almost think that you have a toy in your hands. A very, very nice one!
It shoots through 3/4" Red Oak into 3/4" plywood with no effort. It has sunk every single nail perfectly. It has a "Boost Button" on the side for extra power if needed, but I have not had to use it as of yet. One other side note I have noticed, is that my 2hp compressor did not kick on any while I was using this nailer. It would have kicked on at least once if I would have been using my 16gauge.
For those who are teetering between this gun or a different brand, I can honestly say that this nailer is of the highest quality and craftsmanship. You will be delighted and proud to own it!
Good Brad Nailer but could be better -- My company recently purchased this gun for installing shoe molding. We own 2 Porter Cable BN200A Brad Nailers and really like them but thought we would try something new. My 1st comments are that the case for the Porter Cable BN200A is much more compact yet holds a full box of brads and the size of the Porter Cable brad nailer itself is more compact. In all fairness though the Senco can shoot up to 2 1/8 brads while PC max is 2". The performance seemed to be the same as PC if using the Senco in "Turbo" mode (switch is on side of gun). Normal mode would not set the brads. Overall the gun seems to work fine and leaves a small hole so I can't give it bad marks. On my next purchase I would probably purchase another Porter Cable BN200A over this Senco because of the better feel and more compact design.
Update 7/7/05 : I have noticed that the gun is already leaking air out the top meaning a seal has failed. Like I wrote earlier, our porter cable brad nailer is still shooting nicely.
I love my Senco -- I have owned the Senco 18 bradnailer for almost two years and I love it. I am a hobbyist, so I don't use it as often as a professional, but I've probably shot 400-500 nails with it easy and maybe more. I've only had it jam once in all of its use.
(I must say clearing the jam wasn't a simple as it could have been. I had to remove a couple of hex-head bolts and in the process a spring in the safety trigger came out. It could a few minutes and an extra set of hands to get the spring back in place while I replaced the bolts.)
I don't know how I ever lived without my nailer-- I'll never go back to driving finish nails by hand!
Great brad nailer, if brads are the right thing -- I have used this nailer to drive brads up to 2" in hardwood and softwood. No jams, and a mis-fire is rare. Lightweight and easy to use. BUT...I bought this to use for trim work, and I've concluded the 18 ga. brad just doesn't have adequate holding power to pull material together and keep it that way. The brad heads are very small, and they pull through easily. I thought I could just use more of them to compensate, but that doesn't solve the problem. In harder woods like yellow pine, the thin brads sometimes follow the rings and blow out the side of the piece rather than going in straight. A brad nailer is OK for light duty or just holding the piece in place for you while you hand drive some real finish nails. But for trim work I would recommend a 15 ga. nailer. I would buy the Senco 15 ga. nailer as my first nailer if I was starting over.
