The Bosch SN350-20F Full-Head Framing Strip Nailer offers less downtime, 10% more power, and twice the durability of its competition, giving you incredible driving productivity. Featuring Bosch's exclusive "Full Force Technology," this efficient tool is engineered to eliminate wasted power and space by distributing 100% of the energy directly to the fastener.

The SN350-20F Full-Head Framing Strip Nailer offers: "Full-Force Technology" for consistently flush results. Tool-less adjustable depth-of-drive for maximum precision.

The tool's metal strike plate withstands jobsite abuse, giving it extra durability. View larger.

With "Full-Force Technology," air powerfully drives the piston down the tool's cylinder. View larger.

Bosch Full-Force Technology
This nailer is part of a new line of Bosch tools, which utilize Full-Force Technology to consistently drive nails flush, even in industrial lumber. This revolutionary engineering works without return chambers that add bulk and weight and create wasted energy on the strike.

When the trigger is pulled on the SN350-20F, air drives the piston down the cylinder. As the piston strikes, air is exhausted out the front of the tool for 100-percent air power and no wasted energy.

Lightweight, Compact Design Doesn't Skimp on Power
Measuring 6.7 x 16.6 x 21.0 inches (WxHxL) and weighing just 8.4 pounds, the SN350-20F is 20% smaller than its competitors, making it the best choice for reliable, all-day control.

Its small size doesn't mean a loss in power, however. In fact, this tool drives 20-degree full-head nails from 2.0 to 3.5 inches (diameter .113 to .148 inch) with an operating range of 60–120 psi, so no nails are ever left standing.

Metal Strike Plate and Inline Air Filter for Durability
Designed for durability, even on heavy-duty jobs, the SN350-20F includes a metal strike plate that can stand up to jobsite abuse, including the positioning of lumber. At the same time, a self-cleaning inline air filter keeps debris away from the valve and O-ring for longer life.

Easy Drive Adjustments, Loading, and Jam Removal
The SN350-20F provides straightforward, user-friendly operation, including a tool-less adjustable depth-of-drive for precise results and maximum control. Additionally, a single-action follower lock back uses a simple motion to make loading and unloading nails a breeze, while a top-load, quick-release magazine lets you easily remove jammed nails without disassembling the tool.

Aggressive Teeth and Selectable Trigger for Ease of Operation
To ensure high-quality results, the nailer features a work contact element with aggressive teeth that grip the workpiece when you're toe-nailing. It also features a tool-less selectable trigger that effortlessly switches between bump and sequential firing.

The SN350-20F comes with a one-year unconditional warranty.

What's in the Box
One nailer, one pair of safety glasses, one no-mar tip, and instruction manual.

5.0 out of 5 stars My tools are yellow and black...I may have to start a blue collection., May 4, 2011

This review is from: Bosch SN350-20F Full Head Framing Strip Nailer (Tools & Home Improvement)

I own two Bostitch nail guns...N88WW and the FPT33. I am happy and cannot complain and they continue to serve me well. I picked up the Bosch because I had seen the Full Force technology videos and needed another nail gun for my crew. This gun does not disappoint and is a serious contender.

The gun looks sharp and is built solidly. Yes, it may be made in Taiwan, but the quality, fit, and finish is very well done. There are no visible o-ring seals or extraneous adjustable or moving parts. The metal end cap is not adjustable and does not need to be since it vents out the front. There are pictures showing the use of the end cap as a hammer to knock studs into position...don't do that.

This gun has a blue anodized aluminum quick release magazine...great for clearing jams...which my gun never did. The magazine is offset at an angle...it felt weird at first, but the improved line of sight and improved ergonomics are a welcome change from my Bostitch. To cock the magazine you pull the slide lock back and it locks in the full open position, load the nails, nudge the slide back and it disengages to push the strip nails towards the firing pin. It feels light and maneuverable with balance provided by an attached air hose. There is no framing hook, but you can buy it for another $25.

It has a built-in selectable trigger for single safety shot or bump fire. The trigger is fast and responsive.

Depth adjustment is handled by a red knurled sleeve/nut...it has a continuous threaded action with index points and index marks near the aggressively pointed nose/muzzle. The bounce recoil is acceptable, I haven't double fired yet.

This gun fires 30 degree paper tape nail strips...the same nails I load into my 33 degree Bostitch. This gun locates and shoots nails very accurately...out of 100 nails, maybe 2 had to be set by hammer. Yes, Full-force technology will be a force to be reckoned with. You have to maintain this gun with oil. I do want to bring the following to your attention:

The gun will always leave about 7 nails in the strip in the magazine...you cannot empty the magazine by firing. Some may consider this a flaw, others a safety design, and others may appreciate that they didn't shoot a bunch of blanks....leaving firing pin marks all over the sub-floor or roof deck with no nails.

The air fitting on the gun is a 3/8" threaded hole. Depending on your hose fittings and compressor setup...make absolutely sure you also pick up a 3/8" NPT male to 1/4" NPT female reducing adapter (~$4) and a 1/4" swivel fitting (~$4). All my equipment uses 1/4" fittings. I couldn't hook my gun up until the following morning stop to the hardware store.

Overall, this is one of my new favorite tools and I would recommend this to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bosch's Best, June 27, 2009

By 

Texas Barb (North Texas, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bosch SN350-20F Full Head Framing Strip Nailer (Tools & Home Improvement)

I was pleased to find that this new Bosch SN-350 framing nailer lived up to my expectations. Sturdy - stylish - sleek.

I found that the tool body is more narrow than any of my other framing nailers. This allows me to see where the nail is going more readily. I bought this because of a video I saw on YouTube explaining this tool's new air flow design.

While I expected the tool to be a little lighter, the steel magazine components and overall ruggedness make it well worth a hefty tool at a hefty price.

5.0 out of 5 stars My first nail gun, September 1, 2009

This review is from: Bosch SN350-20F Full Head Framing Strip Nailer (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have many Bosch tools, so when I wanted my first nail gun I was glad to see that Bosch had just started making them. I am putting up a 10x12 shed and then converting a garage into living space, so I thought a nail gun would speed up the process and do a better job than hand-nailing. So far I really like this nail gun. I watched videos and read articles about nail gun accidents before attempting to use this nail gun, and sure enough my first shot was a double-shot (side-by-side). Even though I had read about the recoil/bounce/held-trigger phenomenon, I wasn't quite prepared for it. After that first shot there have been no problems--except several dry-fires when I ran out of nails in the magazine. I have read that pin nailers (and others?) have anti-dry fire mechanisms, but this gun doesn't. I haven't checked to see if other framing nailers have anti-dry fire, but it would be nice. Pluses: easy to load the nails, easy to adjust the nail depth, easy to see the target, easy to see how many nails are left (but you have to look!), confidence in Bosch quality. Minuses: no anti-dry fire, not used to the weight yet (but all framing nailers are heavy, right?), I don't think a joist hook came with the gun (if one is even available). I will probably be buying another Bosch nail gun for the interior work. By the way, I couldn't wait for the Bosch air compressors to reach retailers, so I bought the twin-tank Makita that is so highly regarded. So far, it has been great and I would buy it again. Very quiet for a compressor--but I have to get a cart to move it or my back will give out.
