This nailer gets into tighter spots than other models… The one thing that swayed me to this model was definitely a key advantage. With this nailer, the safety slide peg is mounted behind the nail channel, which means you can get nails into tighter spots with this model than you can with others. The Bostich and others have the slide out in front of the nail channel which means the brad comes out about a quarter inch back from the forward-most part of the tool tip. With this Hitachi the brad comes out at the very front, which is very nice when putting nails in tight corners.This tool is so handy and does such a nice job, I wonder what would ever make me buy a finish nailer. I’m pretty sure this brad nailer would do those jobs for me too.Three minor disadvantages drop this to a 4-star rating (reallly 4.5), but it’s not because I think there’s a better one out there, it’s just that there’s room for improvement.1. It’s not oil-free. Not a big deal but it would be nicer to not have to bother with…
