There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I've been out of the biz for awhile and I sold my Impulse nailer a few years back. We recently picked up a 4-plex rental and I wanted to remodel the units and needed a good finish nailer.
I looked at the cordless finish nailers from Dewalt, Senco, and Ryobi, and eventually settled on the Porter Cable when it went on sale for one sixty--less than half what they want for the Dewalt!
I was impressed with the nailer as soon as I opened it--nice size and weight and it looks and feels solid and well-built. The ergonomics are great--everything you need to adjust is easy to access and the LED lights are great! I've completely trimmed out 2 units so far (base, door casing, crown molding, and some chair rail) and I haven't even had to recharge the battery! Not a single misfire yet, and the nail depth is easily adjustable and consistent. This nailer takes a little getting used to as there is about a 1 second delay from when you pull the trigger to when the nail is driven, but, so far it has been great and I would highly recommend this cordless nailer! I'm so happy with it, that I'm going to buy the matching narrow crown stapler. The only negative comment would be that it doesn't come with a case, but for what I paid I'm astonished at what a great value this tool is. Of course time will tell how well it holds up and performs, but so far I am VERY happy with this tool!
This tool functions flawlessly, with all lengths of brads provided. Great through hardwood baseboards and composite trim. No issues with jamming and nails perfectly in all positions. Not too heavy and is ergonomically balanced. Good battery life too!
I will say that it's much heavier and slower than a pneumatic nail gun, but that's to be expected. It is worth noting, though, that the weight distribution is different from some other brands of cordless nailers where the motor is underneath, kind of along the nail bay -- this one is at the top, and I find it contributes to faster arm fatigue and makes it a bit harder for me to shoot nails as precisely since it's so top-heavy. But, overall, it hasn't been a deal breaker.
I took off one star because it appears that no case exists for this tool at all through Porter Cable. In this day and age, a tool with no case is crazy, frankly. Now I have to spend time looking for a generic case that will fit instead of having a branded case molded specifically to the tool. (The branding helps remind me what's in the case when I'm looking at all the different tools in my shed.)

It's Porter Cable, it's good stuff.
I did briefly consider going the 'normal' nailer router, but just don't want the noise and hassle of a compressor, dragging hoses around etc for what is a relatively low-use tool it's just not worth it for me. For what I want, cordless was the way to go - nice and portable, you can just grab the tool and do your nailing job and be done with it. I'm not a super heavy user, just diy around the house and quite a lot of hobby woodworking. This tool has fit the bill perfectly.
If you're a higher volume user then you're probably going to be better off with one of the Dewalt 20v nailers, but that was overkill for me - this is plenty powerful enough, I've sunk maybe 400-500 nails with it so far, varying lengths from 3/4" to full 2", into 1x and 2x pine and some 1/2" mdf while building various things and it's worked flawlessly - not one single missfeed, all the nails sunk to uniform depth no issues at all. I've been left wondering how on earth I coped without this tool!
There's no 'bump' mode on this nailer, initially I thought it was a feature I'd like but honestly for my simple needs I just don't miss having it - being forced to go slower and a bit more carefully is actually a benefit for me.
The safety in the handle is pretty fiddly - but again, I'm actually glad of it from a safety perspective, I have young kids and while they don't play with the nailer, I'm glad of the extra safeguard. I keep the battery away from the tool when it's not in use and unload it anyway.
The nailer is super easy to use - I was testing it out literally right out of the box. Just plug the battery on, drop in a row of nails and close up the magazine, safety off and push the tip against the work surface. Squeezing the trigger spins up the motor for maybe a second and sinks the nail. It's surprisingly quiet to use as well - a little whirring when you pull the trigger, a 'thwack' as the nail sinks.
In the box you get the nailer, one Porter 20v battery, charger and a small selection of brad nails to get you started. I've added a few unboxing pics.
Takes a little getting used to versus air-powered nailers, due to the delay of about 1 second between you pulling the trigger and it firing. There's two fairly bright led lights which are handy for nailing in my dimly lit garage. Battery wise, I've charged fully once and have sunk 400-500 nails with this tool now so no issues there.
The depth gauge is a bit fiddly and feels a bit plasticky/imprecise, but it works well. The nailer feels decent quality overall, not super heavy duty but feels like it'll last. It's fairly weighty, but the balance is nice and you need the weight to counteract the force of the nail being sunk. Feels solid and stable to use.
Minor con - there's no bag or case supplied - I like to take care of my tools and having a bag like the Dewalt ones with this would have been nice to keep everything together tidily.
Overall though I'd highly recommend this cordless nailer, I think Porter got it right with this tool (nailed it!?) - good build quality, works great and a good price relative to the competition. If you're looking for an 18ga cordless nailer I don't think you'll beat this without spending a lot more $, perfect for the homeowner and diy-er.
Hope that helps.
