I spent a whole whack of time looking into these 23ga pinners.
I sorted then into three categories:
1) No-holds barred up to 1"+ pins... (expensive for the little use
>mine< is about to have) Omer makes a beauty which shoots 1-9/16" 21
gauge nails...maybe someday..
2) A few off-shore units which fail to give me warm fuzzies.
3) That left me with 2 choices: The PC and The Nikle. Now I was told,
and read in many reviews that the PC doesn't sink the pin below the
surface. That has been resolved and can be retro-fitted with a touch
of the grinder. The Nikle is advertised all over for around mid-$200.
Craftsman sells the very same unit for around $ 100.00. It is a Nikle.
I love mine. I have used it to pin the joints in rail-&-stile 5 pc
doors. Very functional and virtually invisible.
Yes folks, you read it here, Rob owns a Craftsman tool.

I have had the Porter Cable for about a year now. No complaints, it has
performed flawlessly.

Hadn't heard of the Craftsman/Nikle, so I'll have to check it out.
I love the Senco guns I have, but Google returned far more complaints
than the PC. Thanks!
