All in all it was a very good experience. Everything was shipped undamaged which was a good start. Manuals have good info but are hard to follow unless you play around with the toys a bit first (powered off!).

PROS: Knocked out nearly 350' of fencing in two days (working pretty much solo). Relatively easy to handle. Will make your neighbors think you *really* know what you're doing if you're sporting toys like this!

CONS: Although it's possible to use this on a 15A circuit, I kept tripping breakers. It's recommended (even says so in the manual) to run this puppy on a 20A circuit. I was using 2" galvanized ring nails (The 5000 count box from Home Depot) to attach my fencing. It's probably more of a problem with the fastener manufacturer, but some times, the gun would jam up if I reloaded before I was done with the first stick of fasteners. The quick workaround was to either wait until it was empty or to pull back on the slider just a bit after firing a fastener to advance the almost-spent stick forward.

Great toy!!! If you're going to be working in a spread-out environment (like a yard), you should probably get an extra length of hose. More hose is recommended over a longer extension cord.
