Pros & Cons
Pros
Great for nailing when gluing. Comes with a number of 50mm nails for you to practise with.
I find it quite heavy for one handed use, but i'm not the biggest of blokes. It is lightweight and easy to use even at difficult angles. Effortless to use.
The airstrike system works a dream, though you may have to tap down the final few mm if the wood is anything other than softwood. Save time on lightweight jos & leaving a neater finish than screws or nails.
Cons
Misfiring a lot, nails being driven at uneven depths. This brad gun is very much for the diy user. Wd40 the firing pin, will work but it's a pain having to do this when you just want to get on with work.
This is a rip-off if you include the price of battery and charge then even more so. I sent mine back after a couple of weeks when i realised it wasn't going to last very long at all.

I am using tacwise nails and it all works really well.
I bought a 5ah batter for this and it requires charging every quarter box of nails, which is about a week's work.
I bought this in october 2018 (writing review march 2022) as a diy'er and loved it.
