I am very happy with this brad nailer. It is light and small. My wife has no problems using it and it is small enough to fit into relatively tight areas. The depth of the nails is controllable by adjusting the air pressure from the compressor or by turning the dial on the gun. The nail holes are small and the non-mar tip does a good job of leaving no marks. If filled with matching putty, the holes are scarcely noticeable. The rubber grip makes for a secure and comfortable feel and the low nail visual indicator is convenient, although more often than not, I am surprised when I am out of nails.

I am very pleased with the purchase of this brad nailer. It works as good as the more expensive tools that can be rented at half the weight.

For the price this nailer has been a great addition to my shop. It is light weight and easy to use. So far no problems with the nailer. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

This Stanley SBN200K 18 guage nail gun works great if you use it within it's limits. 18 guage 1/2" to 2" T-head brads (nails) are common so replacement nails are easy to find. It needs oil! It's not meant to run dry. Generic O-rings will fit if you do blow a ring. I ran mine dry after 6 months & blew an O-ring (located in the top black head) and replaced it with one I found in my "1000 O-rings for $9.99" Harbor Freight packs. It's not meant to nail hardwood floors - this is for finer work. I'm building picture frames and display cabinets to sell at home and ebay. Going on 1.5 years and still working great for it's price.

We bought this to install hard wood flooring that could not be installed using a floor nailer. It worked moderately well, but is definitely not a heavy duty machine.

I found the nailer easy to use. It had more driving power than I expected. I would recommed this for all medium to light trim work. It was light weight and durable.

I think this is a very good buy for the money. It has worked great for the projects that I've used it on.
