Porter-Cable BN200B 5/8-Inch to 2-Inch 18-Gauge Brad Nailer Reviews
Easily one of my favorite power tools
I purchased this particular item because of its better range of brad sizes it can handle, and the Porter Cable name, good reviews, etc.
I have been using this nailer quite often, and am now left with several boxes of finish nails I will likely never use again. No more getting the nailsets out to bury a finish nail down on a piece of trim, etc.
The options for using this are endless. Just last night, I needed to make a couple wood boxes to hold scrap in my workshop area, and had some scrap 3/8″ plywood, perfect for the boxes. Using this nailer, I could quickly apply a little glue, between corners of the box, and shoot a couple brads in and done. Can’t do that with finish nails on plywood without splitting out alot.
Great tool, highly recommended, easy to handle.
I should have bought one of these a long time ago
I bought the Porter Cable 18 ga. nailer to do some trim work around the house. I was so impressed that I also bought their 16 ga. nailer and framing nailer. To date, I’ve never had a jam and they’ve all worked perfectly. I’ve never owned any other nailer so I can’t compare their performance, but since the Porter Cable’s work so well, I have no reason to shop around.
