Perfect for baseboards and yrim. Barely leaves a mark/hole.

After trying my Porter-Cable 16-gauge and 18-gauge pneumatic nailers on outside crown molding corners, which both split the delicate wood, I bought this 23-gauge nailer and it did exactly what I wanted it to do. I didn’t even need to fill the nail holes, they were so small. This tool is very light weight and has a very soft, gentle driver for driving the pins. I am very satisfied with it, very happy I bought it, and would definitely buy it again. The performance of this tool exceeded my expectations.

Now, after cleaning it good for the 3rd time in a year, it does not fire anymore… Also, when you click on the Manual in the Porter cable site, it jumps on the repair page. I just want to study the manual and maybe order maintenance parts …It is frustrating…

So far so good. This one replaces an older porter cable 23 gauge pin nailer.

I purchased this to complete professional fine detail woodworking. I am an avid Porter Cable user. Porter Cable is my first choice in woodworking. Have many in my arsenal of tools. Couldn’t be more pleased with my purchase. PIN138 has good balance and quality manufacture. Dry-fire lock-out is a must feature. Like the no oil feature also. Price point is on the mark too.

Great tool to have! Good quality at a great price. Leaves only a Tiny pin hole. Just what I needed to make a titious job easy. Will be using it much more often. Love it!

I would give this nail gun 5 stars if it had a depth setting. As it is, in order to sink the nail below the surface you have to press it to the wood hard enough for the gun tip to leave a dent, even with the rubber tip guard…and yes, even on hardwoods like oak and maple.

I am quite happy with this unit with the exception of 1 3/8″ pins @ 100 psi max just going flush with some of the hard woods that I have been using.
