Craftsman 27233 15 amp Electric Brad Nailer —
I needed an electric nailer as I do not have an air compressor. I read the reviews of cheaper ones and thought this more expensive one would be able to handle most jobs I would be doing. I intended on building some shelves for vinyl records with 1/4" and 3/4" plywood. I got maybe 50 shots out of this gun before a nail jammed. I removed the jammed nail according to the manual which was pretty simple.
After screwing the safety pin and plate back on, the nailer no longer feeds or shoots any nails. I took it apart 5 or so more times to see if anything was stuck in it still, but it's clear. Appears that the first jammed nail caused internal damage. I was using 1-3/16" Craftsman nails recommended for the gun and tried using smaller 3/4" Craftsman nails also reccomended, but it still wouldn't fire any. Just keeps shooting "blanks". I read other reviews of this gun that stated the exact same problem, but for the money and being that I was only nailing thin plywood, I thought I would have better luck. Guess not.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS CRAFTSMAN ELECTRIC BRAD NAILER UNLESS YOU WANT TO RETURN IT SHORTLY AFTER FIRST USE! IT IS A PIECE OF JUNK!
