Bostitch N62FNK-2 15-Gauge 1-Inch to 2-1/2-Inch Angled Finish Nailer Review

Average Reviews:

I bought this gun sight unseen (usually I go "touch" tools at the H--- D---- first, but they didn't have one) and am so far very pleased. When I took it out of the box, the first thing I noticed was how light it is. It's amazing. Here's my comments:
- The nail magazine is plastic and the housing is magnesium making this thing feel like a toy in your hand. I'm still a little skeptical about the plastic magazine and wonder if it would withstand the daily pounding of professional use (I'm only a heavy duty homeowner).
The good:
- The oil free engine is fantastic. No oil on your work and no need to remember to oil it.
- Easy to use and maintain.
- Pretty much jam free (I've shot plenty of nails through it already).
- VERY light.
The bad:
- Only shoots Stanley nails (PC and Senco shoot a different type of nail). Not a problem as I see it - [One home improvement store] sells them in boxes of 5000 (PC sells their nails in boxes of 1000).
- Plastic magazine - Not sure how long it will last.

I replaced the roof on my house with this wonderful tool. As far as I can tell, the only difference between the reconditioned Bostitch roofing nailer and a new one is the price. This nail gun works wonderful and really saved my forearms. It helped in quickly aligning the shingles and the driving force was easily dialed in. Very few nails needed to be finished off with the hammer. It is easy to load and use.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got this nail gun together with the 18 Ga nail gun for an exterior trim project. This gun has the sturdier gauge nails, but I was not as impressed with the convenience of the loading mechanism. Additionally when it got down to about 5 nails it would no longer shoot as the spring mechanism that pressed the nails forward (think like a desk stapler) would slightly tilt the nails. It didn't jamb, but you would have to load additional nails to keep going. Both products have their place and this is still an excellent quality nail gun, I would recommend it for exterior trim work or heavier interior work.

Factory-Reconditioned Bostitch U/CPACK300 3-Tool and Compressor Combo Kit Review

Factory-Reconditioned Bostitch U/CPACK300 3-Tool and Compressor Combo Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this reconditioned unit for a home workshop because it seemed like a good deal and was supposed to have been returned to new like condition by the manufacturer.
I recieved the compressor with three guns, brad, finish, and stapler.The brad and finish nailer fired once and jammed. (yes I used the correct nails and brads for each gun). The problem was that the internal driver pin that drives the nail or brad froze and could not be unjammed to allow more that one nailing at a time.
I contact Bostich and was refferred to a local tool repair company who refused to service the guns. I ended up sending the whole thing back to Amazon for a refund.
The only good thing about the purchase was that Amazon was prompt in giving the refund and din't charge return shipping.
The Bostich seemed like a good deal but was nothing but a hassle and I'm still looking for a good brad and finish nailer combo kit for my Home workshop.

The Bostitch 3-Tool and Compressor Combo Kit bundles the 18-Gauge 2-Inch Brad Nailer, the 18-Gauge 1-1/2-Inch Narrow Crown Finish Stapler, and the 16-Gauge 2-1/2-Inch Straight Finish Nailer, along with the powerful 6-Gallon 2.0 HP (Peak) Oil-Free Compressor. This kit gives you the versatility you need for tackling a wide variety of finish and trim projects.
Pneumatic Fastening for Fast, Accurate Detail WorkDetail work comes in many shapes and sizes and requires you to use different types of materials. Choosing the right tool for each job is an essential part of making certain your finished products look their best. That's why this kit sets you up with three distinct pneumatic fastening tools.

Each of these well-balanced tools is designed to sit neatly in your hand, letting you maintain control and precision. And each offers a wide range of simple, intuitive features, from no-mar tips that protect your work surface to tool-free adjustable exhaust systems that direct air away from your face to keep you comfortable while you work.

Three Dependable Tools for Handling Tough JobsThe included 16-Gauge Straight Finish Nailer offers a convenient, adjustable depth guide and a quick-release nose for fast jam clearing. It is designed for handling nails 1 to 2-1/2 inches long, making it a great pick for moldings and door and window casing applications. The nailer provides 300 in./lbs. of driving power, a magazine capacity of 100 nails, and weighs in at four pounds.

Ideal for everything from staircases to cabinetry applications, the included 18-Gauge Brad Nailer makes use of the adjustable depth guide to set nails to desired depths quickly and conveniently. Behind its fast, reliable performance is the ability to deliver 145 in./lbs. of driving power. This nailer handles 18-gauge brads from 5/8 to 2 inches and weighs just 2.7 pounds.

Also included in the kit is the 18-Gauge Narrow Crown Finish Stapler, because whether you're working with cabinetry, floor underlayment, or upholstering furniture, a stapler is the right tool for the job. This stapler utilizes 135 in./lbs. of drive power to secure 7/32-inch narrow crown staples, features a bottom-load magazine for fast loading and easy jam clearing, and weighs 2.6 pounds.

All three of these tools offer a magazine capacity of 100 fasteners, so you don't constantly have to stop and reload, and each one is backed by a manufacturer's 7 year limited warranty.

Durable Six-Gallon Oil-Free CompressorBuilt to keep your tools running smoothly and reliably, the 2.0 HP (Peak) Compressor delivers 2.8 CFM at 90 PSI with a maximum operating pressure of 150 PSI for improved tool performance. This compressor's oil-free pump design requires less maintenance than traditional models, and its large, six-gallon reserve tank includes a ball-type drain valve for easy drainage at the end of each day. It also employs an impact-resistant composite shroud to protect important gauges from job-site damage.

Heavy-Duty Motor Operates Smoothly and QuietlyThe compressor's 2.0 HP (Peak), 1.5 HP running motor features easy startup and an expert design that draws 12 Amps without tripping your circuit breakers, so work can be done hassle-free. And the compressor's operation acoustics run at a quiet 72 dBA, making it ideal for use in smaller or more populated areas. The compressor is backed by a 1 year warranty.

Note to customers: When operating the compressor be sure the draincock is closed and the quick disconnect is not stuck. Either issue will prevent the compressor from working properly.

Bostitch F21PL Round Head 1-1/2-Inch to 3-1/2-Inch Framing Nailer with Positive Placement Tip and Magnesium Housing Review

Bostitch F21PL Round Head 1-1/2-Inch to 3-1/2-Inch Framing Nailer with Positive Placement Tip and Magnesium Housing

I am editing this review a year later (14Apr08) with some revisions
I am a professional builder presently building super high end homes on the lakefront of Lake Tahoe. I have used every framing nailer made. Before I bought this nailer I was a Senco and Hitachi user. I needed another nailer so from the recommendation of another carpenter I went with this model. What sold it to me was that I liked the fact that it had another nosepiece that allowed it to be used for nailing hardware.
I have had this nailer for about 5 months now and it has a few problems.
When it was new it would tend to spark a lot when ever a nail was fired. Now that it is broken in it sparks still but much less. Edit.. It no longer sparks.
There was a part missing in the unopened box. I promptly ordered it from Bostich and it came right away. The part was a vinyl rod that adjusts the magazine for varying thickness nails.
The nailer really hammers the nail hard with a loud smack. I worry that it will wear out the hammer driver sooner. The sound with the Hitachi is much quieter and the Hitachi nailer seems to work with much less recoil when sinking a nail.
The trigger on the Bostich is very finicky and will not fire unless you depress the nose "just so" even with the bounce trigger installed. The Hitachi and Senco is an honest trigger that fires every time you depress the nose. Hitachi users say bad words out of frustration when using this nailer because of the finicky trigger.
The rubber pad on the side has a metal part that surrounds it. The metal part is thin and recently it broke. Since a nailer is often left on the side then this weak and flimsy part is in a very vulnerable spot.
The nose has a spring that can easily snag something and fly away. Without this spring the nailer will not work. I spent a lot of time searching in the powder snow once for this spring when it accidentally ejected.
This nailer does have all the modern features that some nailers lack. It has the directional exhaust port and an easily adjustable nosepiece. It will sink a 16d toenail with the depth adjustment all the way down unlike other nailers. It comes with an accessory nosepiece cover that covers the toenail teeth to prevent marring the wood. The nose cover though will not stay on very well and is easy to lose.
If I had my preference I would use cliphead nailers because the magazine holds more nails and the paper collation does not spit eye damaging pieces like the plastic collated strips for round head nailers. Cliphead nails are getting hard to find as misguided architects spec only round head nails. You must use safety glasses when using any round head nailer. The plastic shards are probably not very good for the environment either.
I give it 3 stars still because it works fine most of the time and the hardware nailing feature is nice to have.
Edit 13Apr08 I give it 4.5 stars now. I like this nailer because it really has a large piston and can completely sink a toenail into hard LVL. I do a lot of framing with LVL and this is the only nailer that will not make you reach for your hammer to finish driving the nail home. I am used to the trigger now and it no longer frustrates me. I did have to take apart the trigger once and clean it. The trigger started to blow air and the nailer would not shoot. A less mechanically inclined person might have sent it to the shop for a repair. No parts were very worn, it just needed a cleaning. The broken part on the side bumper has not been a problem. This nailer has held up well so far. I frame about a third of the time so this nailer has about 6 months of heavy use behind it now.

The Bostitch F21PL Round-Head Framing Nailer is the ideal tool for framing, sheathing, subflooring, and bracing jobs. Perfect for professionals and weekend warriors alike, this nailer features a strong, lightweight magnesium body, quick-change nosepieces for plastic-collated and metal-connector nails, a 16-inch layout indicator, and more.
Designed to Match the Task at HandThe recommended tool for use with HurriQuake disaster-resistant nails, the F21Pl has a patented feature that lets you set nail depth with the simple push of a button. For further convenience, quick-change nosepieces let you switch from plastic-collated framing nails to metal connector nails in seconds.
The high-capacity magazine holds up to 60 plastic collated 21-degree framing nails (2.0-3.5 inch) or 60 metal connector nails (1.5-2.5 inch). Its 16-inch layout indicator, located on the magazine, lets you know at a glance the correct distance between studs.
And with an adjustable rafter hook, you can conveniently hang the nailer on joists and rafters during work breaks.
Best-in-Class Power-to-Weight RatioThe magnesium construction of the F21PL Round-Head Framing Nailer means this tool is light enough to use all day, while still being strong enough to reliably use again and again. It also means that this tool has the best power-to-weight ratio in its class: 1,050 in./lbs. to 8.1 pounds.

(More customer reviews)
I ordered this product for a weekend home improvement exterior trim project and it was a great time saver. I got both this item and the 16 Ga nail gun at the same time. This one has the better design for loading the nails, although the other nail gun's nail size is better for sturdier exterior fastening. This 18 Ga gun is probably best for interior trim work. A window in the cassette to help see the size nails or when you are close to running out (prior to climbing to the top of a ladder...) would be a handy addition to this product. This nail gun is very lightweight, the belt clip is good, and it did not jamb once. Highly recommend this to anyone.

Average Reviews:

Unlike the other reviewers, the unit I received was clearly used (but, not abused). I have shopped for a compressor to use around the house on small projects, and especially for maintaining the air pressure on my car tires. So, when I saw this unit I knew the price was right, and took a chance on it being "Factory-Reconditioned." Glad I did. For the price, it is hard to beat this compressor. ** One caution, the picture of the unit gives one the impression that there is a black rubber 50 foot hose included. Mine arrived with a 25 foot coiled yellow PVC hose. So, just be aware, because you'll need to purchase a better hose if you want to use it for any robust work. ** Otherwise, I'm pleased with the purchase, and even recommended it to a friend.

(More customer reviews)
I would prefer to give this product 4.5 stars instead of 5
The CPACK300 has been great for my recent remodelling jobs. Compared to the cp3, the kit remains the same except for the change in compressor. From my experience with both kits, the CPack300 has a far more ergonomic & jobsite friendly design. As other have pointed out for the CP3, the compressor handle was poorly designed & weight and size has been reduced to produce the cpack300 compressor. It's a tad more powerful at 40 psi & so much easier to lug around. Guages are protected by a rubber rims & the compressor is as compact as can be, the design is queter than the previous design & queter that similar porter cable designs.(it'll still wake you up in the middle of the night if you keep it plugged in next to you )
All guns require a bit of oil, but work flawlessly. Bostich makes great products made for a lifetime & i'm sure this is no different. The guns have never jammed, and work fine with 3rd party nails, or brads... after about 2000 nails, i have yet to have a jam. The design is great, the guns fire comparatively quiet & have the dual safety feature.
The no mar tips are of hard plastic & in my opinion inferrior to the porter cable guns i've used prior to purchasing this combo. I do appreciate the comprenhsive kit that is included. basically you get a quality stanley tool bag, about $25 worth of nails, staples, and brads.
The only deduction i'd give is to the cheap pvc air hose included, i guess this is true with all pvc produces... it maintains its rigitity & it maye be tough going around corners, causing the user to tug it along. Also it doesn't wind as well as rubber hoses, I'm sure i'll be upgrading the hose once it shows its age.
The whole kit is probably 50 lbs total & take a very small footprint when organize.So far the whole kit is fantastic for the price i paid, about $270 after taxes. It's on par with more expensive kits & it give you alot for the money, including an impressive 7 yr warranty on the guns.
I've laid down about 1500 square ft of hardwood between this bostich & a porter cable combo that i borrowed off a friend. nailed in 150 ft of molding & fixed all sort of problems through out my home. I'd recommend this kit to anyone over the CP3 kit for anyone looking for a dependable nailer/compressor combo. CP3 kit has the inferior compressor
