Product Description -- Senco has an unparalleled reputation when it comes to finish nailers, and this model is just another reason why. It's lightweight and so comfortable, but it packs awesome power, firing 1-1/4- to 2-1/2-inch nails through whatever you put in front of it. The pros like this product because of its angled magazine, which eliminates the need for bodily contortions in tight spots. The nailer's great balance and rubber grip make its 4.7 pounds feel much lighter. And if you've ever ruined a workpiece because your nailer spat oil on it, you'll love this: the SFN40K has a Neverlube design--it requires no oil--so you'll never have to lube it and it won't stain your work. It also has a great line of sight, a dual-action trigger, an adjustable depth-of-drive control for exact countersinking (and no troublesome overshooting), and a nonmarring nose pad. Yes, it is more expensive than some other brands, but you're definitely getting what you pay for here.
From the Manufacturer -- This finish nailer features lightweight, well-balanced construction, weighing only 4.7 pounds. It has an angled magazine for easy maneuvering in hard-to-reach places. The adjustable depth-of-drive control permits precise countersinking of the fastener. The clean nose area increases your visibility, and E-Z Clear permits quick and easy clearing of jams. No lubrication is required, which means easier maintenance and no oil exhaust spray to stain fine woods. Accommodates six lengths from 1-1/4 through 2-1/2 inches. Fitting not included.
Smooth operator -- Senco has long been recognized as the top manufacturer of pneumatic nailers. At least in the realm of finish nailers. The SFN 40 is no disappointment . I have used mine for several years now. I used the SFN 2b before that. I liked the old one but I like this one even more. We all love power. And this nailer has a lot to spare. It will sink 8 penny nails in hardwood all day long with no sign of stress. This doesn't mean it's a brute . The balance is perfect. Senco gives the user complete control. The drive adjustment is a joy to operate and it stays where you put it. The depth of drive remains consistent. The operation is typical senco. Soooo smooth ! You will love the oilless design. It will save you time when you're rolling out your tools . It will save you aggravation in work not ruined by oil stains. Don't worry about the durability of oilless. They last longer than many oiled designs. If you get a nail jam (Not likely)Just flip the easy clear lever on the nose of the tool and pull the nail out. Its that easy ! As others have said , the angled magazine is very nice. Many have tried to copy this nailer. Nobody has succeeded. Just use one next to a Porter cable, Bostich or paslode. It won't take very long and you too will see. This truly is the best you can buy. One more thing: the warranty is kind of strange. It covers all the normal things ,but Senco also covers "Acts of God". Like floods and other things . Unbelievable value!
Reviews:
This is the one to get if you want to do it right -- Have had Porter Cable, Dewalt, Bostitch, Airy, Grizzly and Accuset nail guns. This one is the the best of the best. The PC angle finish weighs a ton, but basically works fine, although it blows a hole as big as my fist with each nail. The Dewalt angle finish is a total piece of junk. It double shoots, squirts oil and worst of all, does not sink nails. Too bad, as I have some great Dewalt tools. This Senco SFN40 works right, each shot, every shot. Almost NO double fires, and it always sinks the nail. And no oil spray (the PC gushes oil). It is quiet, precise, light and feels great in your hand. Takes standard nails and is a joy to use.
Definitely worth the cost. Period. The choice of more professionals.
Needs refinement to be 5 star nailer -- Let's say that this nailer works very well as everyone states. I say that my Porter Cable grip has a far better feel and will last ten times longer than the cheap foam/rubber grip that is glued around the handle of this SFN40.
So why did they skip the deflection on the exhaust on this top rated nailer? I may be able to deflect it, but it appears that I have to take four allen screws out of it to turn the deflector. Porter Cable has the right idea when they made theirs 360 degree rotatable on the fly. Then ask Senco why they skipped the air inlet connector that Porter has supplied and mounted on their product. Then they skipped over supplying the Allen keys to take the thing apart, not so for Porter Cable. Port Cable also supplied some nails with the gun, and in a better designed case. I'm not telling anyone to buy the Porter Cable finish nailer, but I am telling Senco to shape up. I do appreciate that the Senco SFN40 works well, but first impression was that I should have bought another Porter Cable. Anyone that complains about oil getting on their work is using too much of it. I never get a drop of oil anywhere but in the gun.
No comparison -- I own the SFN40K and just purchased a second one, Senco Finish pro 35 and they are the greatest. Light weight, no jam ups. Adjustable exhaust is also nice feature.
Purchased a Master Fastner 15 gauge nailer last year. Unbelievable, never worked, Woodworkers Warehouse stopped selling them and Master of course left no fowarding address or telephone number. Must have sailed away on the boat named
"Crooks Ahoy."
This Tool is worth the $$$$$ -- I have used this tool for everything from installing hardwood floors to finish trim work. It works great for everything that I can throw at it! I do have to watch the angle when I am firing nails into HARD woods so that it will set the nail. I am now adding its little senco brother (FP25XP) to the shelf and expect the same high quality that I have found in the SNF40! Happy Nailing!!!!
Nearly perfect nailer -- I bought the Senco SFN40K just a few months ago. I've since used it to install trim and decorative bands on the exterior of my house, and install trim around some interior windows. I especially like the feel of the tool in my small hands, its light weight, and the depth of drive adjustment. Jams are easy to clear, and the nails have minimal laddering (different depths with subsequent nailing). It is very easy to double fire with this nailer, and the protective rubber pad falls off when I set the nailer down. For these reasons, the nailer doesn't quite rate as a 5-star.
