5.0 out of 5 stars future of finish guns, February 18, 2003

This review is from: Senco 980001N AF41 Air Free 1-1/4-Inch to 2-1/2-Inch 15-Gauge Brad Nailer (Tools & Home Improvement)

Excellent tool, very handy could almost use as a production nailer...There is a slight pause, about 1/4 of a second from trigger being pressed, til nail fires. Incredibly nice not to have to rollout a compressor. Probably the most under rated tool at Amazon.com. Slight drawback is that it would not set a 2 1/2 inch nail fully in oak with a half inch still exposed, but believe the af25 will probably do the trick. For attaching 1 inch or less hardwoods, the gun works flawlessly and extrordinarily convenient to grab and attach casing, base, or crown, . I am a production finish carpenter and believe the gun is almost perfect besides the nail set problem in 1 1/2 inch or better hardwood stock You will use it for many different applications that you can't begin to realize until you reach into your job box and begin nailing within seconds and can put it back without a big production of rolling out and rolling up a heavy compressor and a 100 feet of hose. I have not used my air nailer in two months since buying the af 41. To make this gun a little more interesting I called senco and spoke with one of their technicians about the gun, as it seemed a little spendy and I didn't want it to become obsolete in six months or a year. I was told that the founder of senco, over ten years ago invented and patented the firing mechanism and only recently was the battery technology able to run it smoothly without too much weight. The af25 comes with a 12 volt instead of 14.4 volt like the af41, so if you want to buy both with the same interchangeable battery senco says they're coming out with a 14.4 volt 18 gauge brad nailer some time in the summer and I'm going to try and hold out til then to get the new version of the af 25. The gun is balanced well, easy to use, lighter than a framing gun, and something that shouldn't matter, but does, is it is the slickest looking finish gun I have ever saw, some overtime when into the aerodynamics of the gun, and the fact that there isn't a cord attached makes this gun almost irresistible, Hope senco designs the new af25 with comparable looks to the af 41... very trick.. Highly recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for small light work, January 16, 2003

This review is from: Senco 980001N AF41 Air Free 1-1/4-Inch to 2-1/2-Inch 15-Gauge Brad Nailer (Tools & Home Improvement)

I love this tool for smaller jobs. As a professional handyman, I do a huge variety of work and don't have the space to lug the compressor every day. If I need to install trim on one door, I spare my customer the noise of the compressor and I spare myself about three trips to the truck. I'm done in an instant. The drawback is the power. It easily sinks 2 1/2 into pine, but 1 1/4 is the best it can reliably sink into oak.

I've been using this tool for the past month (hard) and I'm not having any problems. When I spoke with sales guy at the dealer (Profast) he said that the initial shipments of tools had some kind of problem and that SENCO had taken care of it (said he swapped out a bunch of tools at first, but not anymore). Maybe that's the problem people have been having. (Knock on wood).
While the AirFree is heavier than I want, it's a lot more convenient than using a compressor and Anything's better than my old Paslode Impulse
