I bought this same reconditioned Porter Cable Round Head Framing Nailer through Amazon about a year ago. It has performed excellently and upholds the Porter Cable standard of excellence. The only fault that I have found with this nailer is that the rubber tip is easily lost or torn. Since I have had such a positive experience with the previous purchase, I am buying another for a gift.

I recently purchased the FR350R framing nail gun from Porter-Cable and have found the gun to perform wonderfully. My only complaint was how the reconditioned nail gun arrived with major scratches and no labels. I know this product was reconditioned, but it looked like it was used on a job site for many years performing heavy labor. I would have preferred to spend the extra money to have bought the new tool. I also bought a reconditioned finishing nail gun from Porter-Cable that performed perfectly as well, only that the finishing nail gun appeared brand new upon arrival.

This reconditioned nailer like all my past reconditioned tools that I have brought (22 in all)is Brand New! not a mark on it!

It pays off big time too buy these tools, I shouldn't tell anyone this for fear these tools will sell out too quickly.

I purchased this nailer to use primarily in building and repairing three board fence. For this it does an excellent job in the field. It is also precise enough to use in more delicate jobs. I used it to build three benches from salvaged 1" barn floors. It worked like a high-powered finish nailer. Overall a solid tool that has paid for itself with time savings.

The first nailer I recieved didn't work properly, the driver wouldn't retract. I followed the instructions for oil, and used the proper nails but no luck. Amazon's return policy worked flawlessly. They sent me a replacement via FedEx 2nd day and I received a perfectly working nailer that looks as if it has never been used. The price was excellent and I was able to build 85 feet of fencing without a single problem. I think, based on previous reviews that receiving a gun that didn't work was certainly an exception and Amazon did an awesome job of correcting it.

I was cautious because it was reconditioned, but needed a nailer at low cost so I rolled the dice. Couldn't be happier with the product. No problems with the function, rarely jams...love it.
