I purchased the Freeman siding nailer to complete the cement siding installation on my mother-in-laws home. I looked at other options but the next best thing was 379.00 siding nailer at Home Depot. Not wanting to hand nail or spend that much for a nailer I took a chance and was pleasantly surprised. Power, depth control, weight and overall comfort were spot on. I will use more of Freeman tools in the future. The only change I would suggest is adding a carrying case for us guy's that only use occasionally.

I would like to say this gun has operated without a single misfire.. After roughly 2000 nails.. the main issue is the depth adjustment does not work so i had to turn down my air pressure, and there are exposed screw ends right where you hand will grip and I have been caught a few times but I wear gloves so no cuts but just annoyed.

I would say this has worked as great as my Bostitch coil gun but I needed one with a smaller nail head for siding and fencing and this worked great!! minus the annoyances with the gun.

I have used guns that are double this price and never again will I spend that kind of money, when this one is perfect and quality! I have used it three times already, once to side a whole house, once to put up 600' of cedar fence and another time to partially side a garage. Never jammed one time because of the gun malfunctioning. once in a while because the nail coil I put in was bent up, but that has nothing to do with the gun. It works great and i'm buying another one right now.

Thank you Freeman for making a quality tool at a more affordable price!

The coil nailer arrived quickly with the air fitting installed. I loaded up 1 3/4 ring shank nails and worked three days on a ceder fence. No problems and I used over 3000 nails. Great little nail gun.

I bought this nail gun about a month ago have put about 1000 nails through it putting up cedar lap siding. It works great, 1 or 2 jams but only takes a minute or so to un jam. Light weight and is doing a great job for the price. The only complaint I have , and it's not really a compliant, is that to turn the exhust you need a allen wench, some of the more expensive models are tool less to turn the exhust. Other than that I would highly recommend it to anyone. great value.

This is a good nailer for the money. About the same weight as a name brand. Only had a few miss-fires in using 900 nails. I have told my friends about this product and would recomend it to anyone.

First of all, I cannot figure out how these guys are making any money selling this gun for this price. The quality is way above what the price would suggest. I had never heard of these guys so I called the 888 number and a PERSON answered. She put me thru to a salesman and we talked about their product lines, company history, future plans, and warranty. I must have wasted 15 minutes of this guy's time but I was satisfied and I ordered it right up. I shot a few thousand 2.5" nails thru advantec and into yellow pine trusses without fuss. Maybe only 5-10 missfires. As good as any big name I have ever used. I tell all who will listen about this company and I will look to them for future needs of other guns as well. Do not hesitate because of the lack of exposure to this name.

I purchased this to do some siding and sheathing on a job I am on. The gun seems nice and all but the depth adjustment is rather flimsy, and its VERY hard to find nails anywhere but online for it. Most other nailers in this class use .113 nails and are plentiful at the big box stores. couldnt find any nails to fit. Between the flimsy depth adjustment that is very hard to get consistant, Nails hard to find, No case. I returned it and bought a bostitch gun.

I've been a carpenter for 34 years and have used every gun there is. These are just as good as guns costing much more, haven't had so much as a jambed nail. Liked it so much I just replaced my framer with one of Freeman's and same thing, great gun and great price. Don't think you'll be sorry with this tool.

I used this gun to put hardboard siding on a house. It miss fired a few times but is easy to fix. I had several double fires, but started bumping the gun instead of pulling the trigger. The main problem is that it did not want to sink the 2 3/8 nails all the way into the siding when going in to 2x4's. It worked well going into osb. The door of the nails also popped open about 5 times. I should be able to address issues within the 7 year warranty period.
