5.0 out of 5 stars Great Nailer for the Price!!!, August 17, 2005

I got this nailer with the super saver free shipping for a total price of $39.99. The estimated ship date was August 26 and I received it on the 17th (within 5 days of the order)! Excellent!!!!!

I compared this to other nailers before ordering. All other brands were between $69 and $199 for a tool that does no more and no less then this nailer. I was thinking I was getting a CHEAP knock-off type tool after I ordered it. Was I wrong!!

This nailer was packaged perfectly with everything in place and nothing damaged or marred. I gave the instructions a quick read, loaded the nailer and plugged into the air compressor.

This nailer fired beautifully everytime and even multiple times. I had to adjust the pressure to about 90-95 psi (didn't even bother with the regulator on the gun) and test fired a few nails on scrap, There was no denting or marring on the wood and the nails seated perfectly just below the surface of the wood. NO JAMS!!! Even when I accidently fired 3 times in a row, every nail hit without fail or jamming!!! The exhaust is directional so there are no problems there and there is no worry about recoil or bounce when fired!

I only do part time remodeling, furniture building and the like around my house. However, if you want a great nailer for not a lot of money, this is the one!!

I rated this a 5 because it comes perfectly packaged in its own case including an extra no-mar tip, 1000 2" brads, instructions and the air adapter. It was also boxed with bubble wrap for extra protection and there was not even a smudge on any part of the case or tool!!!

It is easy to use, easy to adjust, and fits perfectly in my hand just like the more expensive brands I looked at. Buying this saved me enough money to put towards my new planer. I am sure I will get years of use out of this before it gives out. I plan on building quite a few cedar beds with this and remodeling a 2600 square foot house.

If it breaks I will be back to tell you. But after this review I doubt you will be hearing from me since I am confident that I got an exceptional product at an exceptional price!!

THANX AMAZON!!! You did it again!!

this unit is great. solidly built, no oil needed, pressure/depth control, adjustable exhaust port, and a function to shoot nails at low speed at the dog or the kids. - disquised as a jam remover. you will accidently release this and it will be surprising, but no harm done.
AND for the price you cannot go wrong. I have no experience with any other nailer, but this does exactly what I wanted it to do and what it is advertised to do.
Have not used it long enough to rate longevity or jam freedom.

This review is from: Maxus MXN10299AV 5/8-Inch to 2-Inch 18 Gauge Brad Nailer (Tools & Home Improvement)

This nailer is made by Campbell-Hausfeld and as far as I can tell it is the EXACT same nailer as the Campbell Hausfeld CHN10299 2" brad nailer.

Though this is the first air nailer I ever owned, I have used several others, including some much more expensive models (also, I do have a 16 gauge Porter Cable "Bammer" finish nailer). After reading up on what features to look for in an air nailer, I chose this model.

It uses very little air, which is good because I only have a small compressor. It also has a directional exhaust to keep the air blasts out of your face and a padded tip to avoid marring the workpiece. The grips are very comfortable. I found that setting the nail depth was easy and accurate, as was loading the nails into the magazine. The heft and feel of this nailer is that of a good quality tool. Though I probably don't need to use 2" brads on most of my projects, it is good to have that option if and when I need it.

Basically, the only complaint I had was that the little bottle of oil that was included with this kit had a cracked cap, which allowed some oil to leak out in the case during shipment. Otherwise, this is a very solid brad nailer at a great price. I highly recommend it!
