PORTER-CABLE PCC790B 20V MAX Lithium 18GA Brad Nailer Kit (Bare Tool Only)

Bought this on a whim, as I'm re-doing trim on my second floor and I was tired of lugging my compressor and hose up from the basement. I already have many Porter-Cable 20v tools that I'm pleased with, and this one is yet another.It's incredibly convenient to be able to work for a couple hours on light trim without the hassle of moving around the pneumatic equipment. Works well, though the slight delay in firing the nail will take some getting used to for those accustomed to air nailers. Depth is easily adjustable and the tool itself is easy to use.Only downside is that it's a bit bulkier than normal pneumatic nail guns so be wary if you're working in tight areas. Otherwise, great tool for the money.Would I use it if I were a contractor, doing whole houses of trim at a time? I would not. But for a homeowner looking for convenience, this gun is a great buy.

I recently purchased the PORTER-CABLE 20V MAX* Cordless 18 gauge Brad Nailer, and I must say, I'm impressed. Its cordless design offers fantastic portability, allowing me to work freely without being tethered to an outlet. The 20V MAX* battery provides ample power and long-lasting performance, which is crucial for tackling big projects without interruptions.The nailer itself is lightweight yet durable, making it comfortable to use for extended periods without causing fatigue. The depth adjustment feature is intuitive and precise, ensuring consistent nail depth with each shot. Plus, the tool-free jam release mechanism is a lifesaver when dealing with unexpected jams, saving me time and frustration on the job.I've used it for various woodworking projects, from trim work to cabinet assembly, and it has performed flawlessly every time. The 18 gauge brad nails leave clean, professional-looking finishes without marring the surface.Overall, I highly recommend the PORTER-CABLE 20V MAX* Cordless 18 gauge Brad Nailer to both DIY enthusiasts and professional carpenters alike. It's a reliable, efficient tool that has quickly become a staple in my workshop.

This nail gun has changed my life, the ease of no air tank if wonderful. I'm finally able to travel and work with my nail gun, all I need is a charged battery. Not terribly heavy and worth every penny.

My review is going to be based on my experience with other guns...Cons:There is a slight recoil. Not enough to cause any stress on your hand/arm/shoulder, but enough to leave a tiny ding in the material you are working with. So, you have to KEEP the rubber tip ON! (Which is a bit large, in cases where you are trying to get a more "precise aim" So you, kind of have to guess...);Flashlight location. WHY WOULD YOU POSITION IT BEHIND THE NOZZLE?? It makes it almost completely useless...;It doesn't let you know that it runs out of nails. You MUST physically check, like you would with pneumatic gun;Bulge on the right side of the gun. Assuming is a part of the driver of the shooting mechanism, but, unfortunately, creates an extra bump on the gun body, that can, potentially (if you are not careful) leave a ding on the material you are working with. So, if you are a careful person, you tend to lay the gun next to you, while working, on IT'S left side, which is a bit uncomfortable, in cases where it's more convenient to position it on YOUR left side;Jams nails a lot more often, then my Ryobi gun. And by "a lot more" I mean couple to 4-5 times in one full day of using it. (Comparing to my Ryobi gun, for example, which only did that many jams in a year);No "Rapid fire" option. You have to physically push the gun against the surface and ONLY THEN squeeze the trigger... Which is good for safety, but when you have to nail quite a few nails in the row and can do it fast - creates a bit of a hassle...As I mentioned in the beginning, these are all in comparing to other similarly priced guns(such as Ryobi, for example).Pros:Lightweight, despite it's physical bulkiness. It even feels more comfortable in your hand, then some other cordless guns;No need for oil;A tiny bit faster, than ones that have air compressor built in;A bit quieter, than ones with built in compressor;Easy way of "un-jamming" stuck striker, without the need of even opening the "jammed nail" latchHope it helps

Nailer was what I expected. Works great and is easy to use

I already had a prior tool set with 8 other tools (and light). This is a great addition that uses the same 20V battery system. I also bought the angle grinder and a fan as well.

I love it, Ive had it over a year and it really helped me running the trim in my entire house. I use it all the time running interior trim and it has never given me any issues.
