23 ga. pinner (minor gloat)

[Jim W. White]

Guys,

Just got my 23 ga pinner. Was on the fence over this purchase for some time but then located this model on the net. I couldn't bring myself to drop the $180 they wanted for the Grex nor even the $100+ they wanted for the PC or Senco (although I'm sure they're all great guns for those that would use them that much, but I'm just a home hobbiest)

This one is only $50 and it takes up to 1 3/16" pins with no manual adjustment necessary. Check out the incredibly small holes compared to the 18 ga. brad!! I'm very happy with it. Tiny little footprint but very good build quality.

Tried to order it November for Christmas but they said they were out of stock and would not be getting in the next "ship"ment until late February. When I re-ordered last week I joked with the guy on the phone that they must have come in on " a slow boat from China" and he said "that's exactly how they came in" :rolleyes: When I finally re-ordered last week it was at my door in three days! :D

Nice grab on the pinner. I also noticed a 15 gauge Craftsman nail gun there. I bought one a while back but I've yet to use it. That pinner looks pretty solid. How's the feel of it in your hand? I might have to look into it myself. As you stated the other ones are pretty pricey. And I agree with you that they are pretty good guns. I just don't think that I will use a pinner all that often and would rather use the money for wood or supplies. This one might fit real nice with my budget. Let me know how it feels. Thanks for the post.

You need 3 more nailers to have enough for the rest of the green bottle tool rests. :) nice gloat.

Thanks for the post and the source! You could almost call those "pin holes" worm holes if they were randomly spaced :) :)

I've had the Senco Accuset pinner for a few years now & love it. I don't pull it out all that often, but when I need it, it's the tool!

Anyone know if the Accuset line has been discontinued?
