Item : B000066B57 Customer Reviews failed twice! by .. S. Duff (Wauwatosa, WI United States) Owned this nailer for about 3-4 years. I've used it mostly for trim and woodworking projects. Works awesome, when it works. After a couple years of light use it froze up on me and would no longer drive the nail. I had to get it fixed and (luckily) it was still under warranty. Used it for another year or so and it froze up again. Took it in to get it fixed and the guy told me it would cost about $175 and he could guarantee it would happen again after getting it fixed because of how it was built. This time it wasn't under warrenty so it's now a piece of junk. Don't buy it. Quit working by .. R. Fanelli (Phila.pa.) Tool worked fine for about 5 small trim jobs,now all it does is rev-up and DIE.I own 9 other Senco air tools,some for over 20 years.this airless tool needs some redesigning.I will not buy another When tools collide =-o by .. Mark W. Ingalls (Spring, TX) I have had to return this tool for service, that is true. The tool was released to the market with a latent defect in the driving mechanism, but this was corrected in 2005 (I think) according to the technician. This is a very nice tool to have on the bench for occasional use, even if you do own a compressor. Also good for small jobs offsite. (I own several cordless electric tools for the same reasons.) UPDATE: One of the 12V batteries crapped out, making it impossible to charge one battery while using the other. New batteries are *breathtaking* in their expensiveness. So, I did what any other self-respecting engineer||handyman would do-- I fabricated my own 18V adapter from the shot 12V battery and a donor 18V flashlight from my Big-Orange-Store-"Brand-R"- battery-powered tool set! It sure looks weird, like the Frankenstein-ian monsters from the movie, "Toy Story." But it works. Three years and four boxes of nails later, the (now 18V) monster yet lives! Home remodeling by .. T. Zeestratens (Western South Dakota) I used it for triming windows. Worked flawlessly. Would sink 2 inch brad nails in solid oak. No cords or hoses to trip on. Excellent tool highly recommend it. HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN? by .. Mike A. Gelb (Seattle WA USA) This tool manufactured by Senco is not good quilty and definitly not for professional applications. We have purchased a lot of senco pnumatic products in the past with very good results. This tool had poor results right away in dense woods. After some use the results where sparatic: 1) intrermitent falure to fire, 2) Unpredictable depth in the same piece of material & Jambing often. Both of our Senco AF25 Air free's currently sit out of service. We have since Purchased sevral Dewalt 18V nailers ( Dewalt has 18V Vs 12V for the Senco ) the Dewalt also has a production seting that allows rapid fire like an air nailer; the Senco on the other hand does not have this feature. I'm sorry to say, I reccamend a pass on this Senco product.
