Easy to use, well-built, and will be in my kit for years to come.

Only used it once so can’t speak to longevity but it is nice to just pick up the tool and use without messing with oil.

Does exactly what it should with no issues or misfires.

This nailer completes my set of Porter Cable nailers and, like the others, it works exactly as advertised. Loads easily, fires consistently and no jams. After using it to tack some trim in place I can see that it will be a frequently used tool in my furniture building.

GREAT TOOL, EASY LOAD, SAFETY TRIGGER IS SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO GET USED TO BUT A GOOD IDEA

The pin nailer was the best thing in the world for building an American Girl dollhouse and the brad nailer is the ideal thing to install mouldings and case work

This is a very nice pin nailer. It is easy to load and use and is really light. I am very happy with it.

Needed an extra pinner for a custom door project we are doing. I had been using the other guys which was an older Porter Cabble model, and when I got to Home Depot it was all they had for this kind of gun…glad I bought it. The upgrades are great…..it has a hook already attached….very nice case…comes with 2000 pins and a set of safety glasses and probably my favorite feature….it stops shooting when you need to reload…as in you actually cannot push the trigger….very nice….it’s horrible when you realize you have been shooting blanks for even a short time.One caveat…take the extra nose piece off the gun and keep it in your case….there is a good place to wedge it in one of the nooks…..it falls off the place on the gun that stores it normally.

The nailer worked well.

This pin nailer seem like a fine tool like my PC brad and finish nailer, however it could not deliver the power to set a 1” pin nail in 3/4” hard maple. I had the air max out at 100 psi on my test samples and it would drive two out of five correctly set. The remainder were flush or above the surface and not acceptable for high-quality trim molding. For reference, the trim molding I was using was from Thomasville cabinets. It was three-quarter inch hard maple. Home Depot was very good to except the return and I purchased a Dewalt DWFP2350. The DW adjustable nail set worked perfectly… I’m back to work. I am sure the PC PIN38 works fine for most materials but not for my project.

Adequate tool. Works well for what it is designed for …. that is, you can do furniture quality work as the nailer leaves but a minuscule evidence of attachment penetration. Tool is quality at a reasonable price.

Just what I need as a cabinets service man. One gun, getin and get out.
Dovie Weber (verified owner) –
So far so good. Smooth and feels good when operating. I won’t be using it daily so I’m curious to see how it holds up over time.
Enrique Steuber (verified owner) –
This little pin nailer worked great for the face frame on my cabinets. Just what I needed.
Beulah McGlynn (verified owner) –
I don’t know how I lived so long without this tool. So handy. The nail holes are next to invisible. Shot it through maple no problem. The gun gets in tight spots. I’m a contractor with 40 years experience.

Excellent tool couldn’t complete trim for kitchen cabinets

Works great, quiet and light
Therese Schaefer (verified owner) –
Great quality, hope it last longer than the last one.
Maria Strosin (verified owner) –
So far it works very well. It doesn’t seem to like coated nails (galvanized) but with regular pin nails it works great. I like that it is self lubricating.
