anyone have one of these, and what are your experiences?

Google is (usually) your friend. "Harbor+Freight+Coupon" yields several
results. This is the first one:

It's only $20 with their current 20% off coupon.
I've had one of their (similar) brad nailers for a couple of years. Works
dependably. Every time. I'd buy another in a hearbeat but I'll probably
never have a need to do so.

Don't have that one but I have owned one of their 18 ga nailers for
years (about $20 on sale). It is backup for my Porter Cable and I
can't wear either one of them out.

Got it.
Works just fine.
I bought mine, based largely on a bit of internet research that led me
to conclude that ... quite a few people love theirs, too!

I use a Grex that cost me about $200 and I am very happy with it.
If the $20 HF models works for you it is a great deal, if you hate it you
are only out $20.

OK, first, you said "Harbor Freight". Second, you said "$25".
I've worked with good pinners, and I've worked with bad pinners.
Unjamming a pinner is no fun. Somehow, I suspect that a $25 pinner
from HF would mean a lot of time spent unjamming for a little time
actually pinning.
I'm willing to be convinced otherwise, since I would *love* to buy a
pinner for the cost of renting one for a day, but I'd need to see a lot
of positive reviews on this before I bought one.
Hmmm; Google turns up a few reviews that aren't so bad. It can't go
beyond 1" pins, but I could live with that.

No, you're not. HF has a 100% satisfaction 90 day return policy.
I suppose it could take some people longer than 90 days to decide they
hate it. :-)

Just got mine. It's cute and tiny. I thought the last one I used
was much bigger, but whatever.
Didn't come with an air hose connector or any pins, so I have to hit
the hardware store before I can try it out.
