HF 21 degree, 10ga. framing nailer , $99, worth it?

for $100 minus the $10 off, I'm tempted..

it would be for around the house.. maybe a partial basement finish..

i have the pc 18ga brad and 15ga finish

would i be disappointed? guess i'm thinking i bring one home and
shoot up the included nails.. if there's no jams and the depth is
good, i keep it; if not, she goes back

???

Mine has plenty of depth and has never jammed. It will double fire if
you hold the trigger down and keep the safety depressed. Not unique.

More often than not, I'd rather have a palm nailer. (I don't shoot many
framing nails lately).

I've added one to the arsenal. I got 30, ooops, 29 days to see how it
works. I guess I need to build something now ;-)

If it fires the kit's supply of nails, I will probably keep it. This
fit and finish looks pretty decent. A tool-less depth set would have
been nice.

Absolutely NOT!!!!!!!!!

HUGE waste of money, and it's also dangerous!

Does nothing but jam, multiple fire or not shoot at all.....

For an extra $75 Home Depot sells refurb Bostitch or PC.

I just bought mine a few months ago. Sadly I never tried using it
until their return date was over. If you want to try it, I will send
you mine for $50 plus shipping if you want to give it a whirl. Maybe
I was doing something wrong, but I don't know what I could have
done.....

No problems out of mine yet. I've shot about 6 boxes of nails through it so
far. (12,000 nails)
