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
