It countersinks just fine in the oak, maple, poplar and spanish cedar I've used it on. I'm glad I bought this one. I think it's a pretty good value too. I like the way it feels in my hand, I like the way it drives the pins, I like the size of the hole it leaves. I have a bunch of nailers, but always wanted a pin nailer.
A light sanding and it pretty much disappears. The pins are set with very little to no marring. I'm very happy with this purchase and feel it is a very good value. I bought this pin nailer primarily for pinning small bead moldings for a kitchen cabinet project. I have used 1/2",3/4" & 1" pins with this nailer, all have worked well with no issues.
This keeps the tool oil from dripping out and making a mess and keeps the insides clean. One small thing that I really like is the attached little plastic cap that you can cover the male air fitting with while it's not in use. Also, they won't split the wood like brad nailers.
For starters it's half the price of most pinners out there that you would be proud to spend your money on. The nails also hold really well too. I have only used it a few times but I already wish I had purchased it sooner.
They don't easily pull out and hold pieces in place very securely while the glue dries. Just a smart little addition I wish my dewalt brad nailers had. This one holds up to 1 inch pins I think and that's all I'll need it for.
Anything longer and I think you should be using a larger nail.
The dual triggers,(safety + fire) is kind of funky but with time I'm sure I will get used to. Why did I wait so long to buy a pin nailer. I'm liking it so far. It had no problem sinking 1 1/2" pins into oak, just below the surface. This tool is very handy. I chose PC because of their reputation, Price, the top vent, narrow tip.
However, the tip mars wood pretty bad. It works fine. Grex comes with no mar tips, why PC can not. You need to be cafreful when you use it on rather soft wood. I had no jambs or any other problems. I like the compact size body and a little weight to it.
