? Palm Nailer with Links

Here it is again with links

I need a palm nailer to replace some attic rafters.
Am looking at two of harbor freights nailers. Has anyone
used either one and are there any thoughts about them?
Pretty much limited use so I do not want to buy a more
expensive unit
Thanks in advance

Never used one. As with all Chinese junk, might work and might not. If it
works, fine but if it doesn't and you end up buying two, you have about
equaled the price of a good one. My Senco cost me less than $90.00.

Thanks Dennis
The Grizzly looks to be about the same. and was on sale for $18 and some
change.
The shipping is about the same for all of them.
Some of the cheaper tools are worth buying if you are not going to be using
them
everyday and even then, some that are out will last a long time.

Well, I guess I'm too late, but... I have the first model (the leather covered
one) and it is one of the finest cheap tools I ever used. Got it on sale for
half price. It's great, put-puts along like a steam engine with a slight touch.
Lean on it hard and it will drive pretty much anything. It comes with a
complete rebuild kit, oil, wrenchs, even the air fitting.

I used it to put up all the joist hangers in my house and porch, hundreds of
them.

"but if it doesn't and you end up buying two" What???? Not smart enough
to return the broken one?


My Chinese nailers are lasting as long as my Senco and Bostich. Buy the HF
palm nailer.

Screw HarborFreight... Get the Grizzly H6141. Amazon has it for under
$19!! I have it and it works just fine, so far. It doesn't show it in the
pic, but it does come with the leather cover/glove just like all the others.

Thanks James and to everyone else who replied.
I had forgotten about Grizzly. I have several tools from them and have been
well satisfied with them.
Ordered the H6141 from them. Same price and shipping as Amazon and I asked
for a new catalog too.
Will let the group know what I think of it when I get it.
