Great nailer for the price

Great nailer for Do It Yourselfer. Easily drives 10D to 20D nails for framing work. Fits in tight spaces between joists. I do not do enough framing work to justify purchasing a $300 framing nailer. I got this Palm nailer for $100 two or three years ago. I've used it several times on projects including finishing my attic. No regrets buying this tool. It will occasionally leak air after driving a nail, but this really has not been a problem and the pnumatics seal well again after driving the next nail.

how to put on the leather wrap cover

I just got the nailer and haven't used it yet - but I wanted to give people who have this nailer or who are reading the other reviews some guidance for putting on the leather cover. It seems to be baffling folks - but since my previous palm nailer from Harbor Freight had a similar cover I could figure it out.

Put the silver ring around the nose - then loosely wrap the leather cover around the nailer so that the large hand loop is on the back side. Pass each of the 3 larger straps (they have the 'male' side of the snap) from the inside (nailer side) of the ring OUT through the ring and then push them over the edge of the ring to reach each of the female sides of the snaps. They should be at 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock. The last one is tough to get it to reach, but it will get there if you pull. Try wetting the leather a little to get it to stretch.

The smaller snaps encircle the male compressor coupler. Again, the last one takes a little work but it will go.

My impression of the nailer is that it seems solid - but it is heavy feeling. I was thinking of getting the PN50 because it weighs just a pound and I only use this for nailing TECO nails (joist hanger nails). I'll see how it goes on the job...

Thin cover

Nailer works well. The leather cover -- be careful how you put it on. It was partially buttoned in the package, and so that implied it went on backwards from how it should. Align the opening to the side with the air intake.

My cover ripped when putting it on the first time, obviously, a fault in how thin the leather is. Emailing the Bostitch customer service resulted in receiving an offer for them to replace it... for thirty-six dollars, even though the nailer was brand new. So, I guess don't expect anything like the leather to be covered under warranty.

Excellent choice

I had to purchase some alternative to a hammer because I have carpol tunnel and tennis elbow. It was exactly what I needed. Hardly any vibration and no kick back at all. It amazes me every time I drive a nail in with this tool how fast it is. I wish I had bought one a long time ago for hammering in between studs when you don't have room for a back swing. I've also used it to drive in 3 inch drywall screws. I predrilled the material I was hammering of course to avoid splitting. I could have paid less for a cheaper version but I went with the name Bostitch that I was familier with. I thought about the Dewalt and would have paid the extra $15 for it but the Bostich came with a nice case and three different length hammer heads and a spare seal kit.
I let my 81 year old dad borrow it once and he imediately ordered one to.
This is a great tool!

Time saver

I was advised from a friend to but this tool for the project I was doing. I was totally surprised at how fast and easily it hammers nails. It's worth every penny. I have a pancake compressor and if you are nailing at a good pace, my compressor can't keep up.
