23 Gauge Pin Nailers

Has anyone got a preference or a horror story regarding buying the many
brands of 23 gauge pin nailers. I am interested in the Bostitch pin
nailer but the availability of pins seems to be a problem. I noticed
the Cadex pin nailer is readily available (but more pricey than
Bostitch) and the fasteners are also available - but I would like to
hear about the experience the group has with Cadex tools - I don't know
anything about them.

Hi,
I have the 23 Cadex. I think it is the 35 model (whichever is the more
expensive). And it is the sweetest thing this side of heaven. It is the
same as the Grex. The current issue of FWW reviewed the Grex and the
Bostitch and gave both a good rating, albeit the Grex is more expensive.
I would buy the Cadex again in a heartbeat. Cheers, JG

this is the one I used a lot on movie sets.
in most wood you can face nail with no sign of the fastener.
