I bought this gun about a year ago. It's great when you are fastening joist hangers on decks, truss ties, floor truss hangers. Man this kicks too. Careful when you use it cause it can shock your wrist. Makes my framing days alot faster when I am build a new home. It's very light and small enough to get into tight spots. I like how safety works on it. And loading is pretty nice too. This gun is worth having if you frame alot houses or build alot decks. Time it saves is worth the cost. Would buy again.

This is a sweet strap nailer. I bought the short magazine one a few weeks and have been very pleased with its performant. We framed up a house that called for A35 on every freize block and a H1 on every truss, not to mention the various straps and other hangers. It worked awesome. It had no problem driving 2 1/2 nails into 6x12 beams for straps. It is very quick to use with the nail tip sticking out, just point and shoot. It even worked for toenailing 2 1/2 nails in the joist hangers, I don't know if they recommend that or not, but it worked. Overall it probably almost paid for itself on one job, it is light, easy to use, powerful, everything you are looking for in a gun. I also put a rafter hook on it, the same one that fits that NR83, and that is handy too, worth that 12 bucks for the hook.

This is a nice, light metal strap nailer. It's angled so it gets into most tight places. I've done three houses with it and haven't had a jam. It fires the nail each and every time with no problems. This is a real labor saver!
