Dont buy one. Jams constantly. I have had this nailer for a year and a half and have only gotten it to fire about 10 nails. It is complete junk. I threw mine against the wall today.
pins to 1 in. Just as my past experiences with Senco Fastening products this tool is a jewel. The unit is very reasonably priced and the only drawback is its limited range, 1/2in. pins. To do longer pins you have to purchase another gun.
I have used this tool for almost 2 years now, have used thousands of pins of various sizes on many different projects and wood. It took about 5 minutes to master that.It always drives the pins just below the surface and essentially it disappears.Whether or not it would hold up under a production environment I don't know. I have NEVER had it jam and moving the slide to the right position for the size of pins is simplicity itself. you can easily tell by looking at the pins whether they are in the right position. It seems a little light for that but that is also why it's so easy to handle in very awkward positions and places.As an industrial grade tool I have my doubts but as a solid reliable tool in a home workshop it's an excellent tool. I wish I had one earlier.
A micro pinner that can't sink its nails is useless. Crank up the air and it still leaves the pins proud of the surface of what you are nailing. Senco should hand their heads in shame over this one. Buy the Porter Cable.
Maybe the assembly tolerances are such that some units are jammers, but mine never has. I have owned this Senco FP10 pinner for a couple of years now. I like them all.I confess that I was a little disappointed when I opened the box and found that the FP10 was made in Taiwan. Having said that, I can say the the FP10 has *never* jammed on me, so I'm a little puzzled by complaints from some of the other reviewers. The finish nailer(41XP) has jammed a few times, and I agree that a jam is very irritating, but, based on my experience, Senco makes a qualityproduct. My philosophy on tools in general is that going cheap is false economy, since rework outweighs the cost of almost any tool.
Once you use one, you're hooked.Since we're on the topic, my Senco brad nailer (25XP) has neverjammed. I also have 3 other Senco guns - a brad nailer, afinish nailer, and a narrow gauge stapler. I will agreewith other reviewers who think that pinners in general are thegreatest thing since sliced bread. I have boughtSenco because they have a good reputation, and because they were made in the US. So I was bummed to find that the FP10is made in Taiwan. Neither has the stapler (SLS20).
If I were to buy another pneumatic tool, Sencowould be my first stop.
