I purchased this tool to reframe a cottage 6 years ago. Up until then I just borrowed a friend's or relative's tool. But with the long term project ahead of me I felt it was time for my own. I really didn't expect to be using it 6 years later but here I am & I love this gun. There are smaller & lighter quality guns out there, but nowhere around $200. I have shot probably 15 boxes of nails with gun - from sinkers to ringed deck nails - its worked flawlessly. The depth adjustment is easy & accurate. The balance is very good as well as the general work-around size. I did have a jamming problem with ONE box of cheap nails, but that was random and only with that one box. Other than that, I don't think I've had more than 20 mis-fires in all this time.
Obviously, I am not a pro - just a DIYSer/handyman, but I do appreciate quality in tools. I own about a dozen stapler/finish nailers (Hitachi, Senco, Bostich, PC) --- but only one framer - this one. If I framed for a living I might be singing a different tune, but for under $200, you won't go with this one.
