Bostitch N80CB-1 Industrial Coil Framing Nailer

Amazon.com Review

The only bad thing we can think of to say about this hard-working nailer is that you'll be hard at work too, instead of stopping to reload every few minutes. The coil holds up to 300 nails, depending on size, and loads in a jiffy. There are lots of good things to say. It's lightweight, well-balanced, ruggedly made, comfortable in hand because of the rubber grip, and has a nice toothy toenailing head to prevent slips. A clever thing Bostitch did is allow the user to shoot the exhaust in any direction. Its tidy design lets you get in where stick nailers dare not go. Another thing we like is that it's not as pricey as others in its class, and frankly, we think it's just as good if not better. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

5.0 out of 5 stars This one will take you home., December 2, 2002

This review is from: Bostitch N80CB-1 Industrial Coil Framing Nailer (Tools & Home Improvement)

I've used this nailer on several framing projects and not been disapointed. It's compact design allows easy access to most tight places. Coil load averages about 300 nails so I spend more time shooting than loading. Loading is easy and rarely have had a jam. It's a little heavier due to the coil load but the advantages out weigh the weight. Can be set up for contact nailing which speeds things along. Nailer has crowned head that grabs wood for toe nailing. At 100 psi drive the nails with about 1/8" countersink. Great product, reliable, durable.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great nail gun!, November 22, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Bostitch N80CB-1 Industrial Coil Framing Nailer (Tools & Home Improvement)

I was weary of purchasing this tool since it's drive force is a little less than some other models, but it hasn't let me down. I've used it on walls, decks, floors, roofs, you name it. I've shot thousands of nails with only 1 misfire! And that was because the nail coil was defective. Sometimes it didn't counter-sink the nail when toenailing, but I found if I held the trigger in longer and held the gun from re-coiling, it worked fine. It has no trouble at all giving a 1/8" countersink to 3" nails, even in knot-filled wood. Buy this nailer, you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars More nailing, less reloading, January 2, 2004

By 

"jarhead0531" (Brick, NJ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bostitch N80CB-1 Industrial Coil Framing Nailer (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought this nailer to speed the building of a 12x16 shed by myself. It paid for itself on that project alone and worth every cent.

Pros:
1. More nailing, less reloading(like I said).
2. Great size for tight spaces.
3. Great balance even fully loaded.
4. Plently of power.
5. TOUGH, dropped on a six foot ladder, picked it up and got back to work without pause.

Cons:
1. Can only toenail from left side in REALLY tight spaces due to the feed mechanism on right side(not that big an issue).
2. Not the best gun for rapid nail switchs, so if you have to switch often between 12D and 8D ring for small jobs it can be a pain.
