i need help from everyone who owns one or has info of the new Porter Cable FN250C oil-less nailer
is this new oil-less line any good? i figured getting oil away from wood would be a good thing? and a maintenance free motor has to be a plus also?

please let me know your thoughts cause im looking to buy one.

thanks

A poll for this?
Aren't they all made by the same company now?

im asking if anyone likes the new oil less porter cable nailers or if they will stick with the old nailers that need some oil.

My vote- get an oiled compressor since they run a lot more quiet and install an inline filter. You can get one at the BORG for under $40 and then you get the best of both worlds.

Oops, thought you were talking about the compressor. Honestly I have never noticed any oil with my oiled guns, the only place the oil would come out would be the exhaust, so I don't see it as a huge concern.

I bought the Porter-Cable FN250C oiless finish nailer and the Porter-Cable BN200B oiless brad nailer, and I like them both. On the other hand, these are the first nailers that I've ever used, so I can't compare them to any others, but I do like both of them, and they've both performed flawlessly for me.
