Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The latest addition of the Bostitch magnesium family is finally here. The new Bostitch FN16250K-2 shoots from 1-1/4-inch to 2-1/2-inch 16-gauge finish nails. Of course this all-magnesium body tool is the lightest in its class, but more importantly, is simply the toughest and most durable. With its oil-free design, daily lubrication is no longer necessary. You can use this every day, all day, and its built to handle it. Also, look for other great features like the rear exhaust, easy-to-load magazine, out of nails indicator and soft grips where needed.

This review is from: Bostitch FN16250K-2 16 Gauge 1-1/4-inch to 2-1/2-inch Finish Nailer with Magnesium Housing (Tools & Home Improvement)

This is my first nailer purchase, though not my first experience with a nailer. The first thing that I noticed upon opening the box is that this tool is a quality product! All the parts and pieces fit wonderfully. The magnesium body makes this a very light weight tool which I can really appreciate. There's no need to oil the tool either, so maintenance is virtually non-existent. The magazine is very easy to load, and you can see how full it is while in operation. The nailer comes pre-fitted with a quarter-inch air connector (many are not, which means a trip to the hardware store just to make those other nailers complete). Two really nice touches that make this nailer stand out from many...it comes with a supply of nails (no need to order 4000 nails, just to begin your first job) and it includes a great plastic case for the tool, with room to hold a supply of nails. I don't think I could be happier with a finish nailer!

I have had time now to use this finish nailer and I have to say it works flawlessly. The depth control works very well and I have ran a box of 1000 nails through it without one jam. I would recommend this nailer to anyone, a great product, light and strong.

My favorite thing about this nailer so far is that it's so light. You won't get tired from using this thing. It's also very sturdy and seems very well made. Insertion of nails is simple and effortless. I also really like that my little air compressor runs this nailer just fine. I was initially concerned that it had no safety, but the nailer is designed to not fire unless it's pressed against the board. (This is probably normal for nailers, but this is my first!) It's also a nice touch that it comes with a supply of 2" nails. This thing was ready to go out of the box.

In all, I'm very happy with it so far.
