Pros & Cons
Pros
Not on it's own, but pinning up dozens of slats in position ready for nailing/* it's excellent.
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. Extremely handy indeed saving time on lightweight jos & leaving a neater finish than screws or nails.
Smashing quality product. No misfires. As i have batteries and charger getting another made sense.
Cons
Unfortunately the price is of a professional tool so there will be many returns just as i decided to return my one to a local dealer.
Nailing oak stripwood today it fires three nails and stops. Misfiring a lot, nails being driven at uneven depths. You have to wd40 the firing pin, will work but it's a pain.

I bought a 5ah batter for this and it requires charging every quarter box of nails, which is about a week's work.
