Product Description

Amazon.com Review
One of the most popular brad nailers on the market, this model from Senco is lightweight, oil free, and perfect for work on fine woods and trim. It has a comfortable foam grip and, at only 2.3 pounds, you'll be able to use it all day without having to worry about excessive arm fatigue. The nailer drives 5/8- to 1-5/8-inch medium- and slight-head brads and offers easy side loading and a handy jam-clearing feature. Since it's oil free, you can forget that morning maintenance ritual and--better yet--you won't have to worry about getting oil on fine woods. Overall, this is an easy-to-use unit that should be given serious consideration if you're looking for an everyday brad nailer. --Jonathon Tudor

5.0 out of 5 stars Senco SLP-20, December 10, 1999

By	Travis R Simons (Texas) - See all my reviews

Great tool and easy to use in tight places. The neverlube is a must. I have used Senco products for years and I have never had a problem with them. They are definitely "industrial strength".

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the Best, June 6, 2000

By	"toolpig" (Troy , KS) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Just about every serious trim carpenter I know uses senco finish nailers. The same is true regarding brad nailers . The SLP20 is very light and powerful. But really that is only part of the equation. The operation is what sets it apart. It is very smooth. It's hard for me to describe but it feels like pop , pop , pop when nailing with it.Other brad guns feel like bang , bang , bang. No other nailer comes close to the refined feel of operation. Kickback is nonexistant. True it only shoots up to 1 5/8" brads but most of the time you don't need a 2" 18 ga. brad. I have other brad guns that handle 2" brads but most of the time I use the shorter lengths. When I do use 2" nails they are usually a larger guage which require a heavier gun. The safety is sometimes a bother. I have seen many on jobs with the safety over ridden (My own included). This is not a good idea. Just make sure you're not even lighly touching the trigger when you engage your workpiece. The oilless operation is flawless and very durable. It saves time when setting up as well as unnecessary sanding from oil blowing on your work. If you want the best , buy this gun. You may be inclined to buy a cheaper one. In this case you definitely get what you pay for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Changed my life, May 2, 2002

By	Bruce Cuningham (Dixon, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A couple of years ago I embarked on a remodel of my house, and I was determined to perform all of the interior finish carpentry, and refurnish with Arts and Craft style furniture. After quite a bit of research I settled on two nailers, a Senco finish nailer and this SLP-20. Since that time I've used these tools to drive hundreds (thousands?) of nails and brads, into wood ranging from oak to soft pine, and they have never failed me. I now approach any nailing task with utter confidence in my tools, and I'm a better woodworker for it. I have never regretted spending somewhat more for my Senco nailers because they have never let me down. The one servicing need I had cleared up an air leak problem instantly, thanks to the folks at the service center. The SLP-20 is a high quality product, and is money well spent. If you're in the market for a brad nailer, this is the one to buy.
