this is my first trim gun and i have used it a lot for big and small projects. i have had problems finding longer staples which i prefer over nails in most cases. nails are great when working with small projects but they tend to pull thru the board unless glue is also used.

WADIYer says "Too many Jams" about Craftsman 18 ga. Brad Nailer Kit

Tool starting jamming up the first time that I used it. At first I thought perhaps I was hitting something hard, like another nail, but after more use, the tool began to jam at the rate of 1 per every 3 attempts. With no un-jamming mechanisms, besides the 4 hex screws, each jam added about 5 minutes to the project time. A project requiring more than a few nails quickly becomes rather time consuming. I replaced this model with a Dewalt D51238K, and I have not experienced a single jam in over 100 tries. Based on my other tool experiences with Dewalt vs Craftsman, I am guessing that the better success rate with the Dewalt will continue....

I purchased this tool thinking it would speed up attaching floor molding aftr i tiled my floor. This gun constantly jammed. There is no tool-free jam process with this product like there is with other brands. Craftsman is not at all what it use to be....

MrFixit307 says "2nd time around" about Craftsman 18 ga. Brad Nailer Kit

I bought this brad nailer from Sears almost a year ago. The first one I got worked for about 150 2 inch brads and then began to jam almost every other brad. I cleaned it and still couldent fix the problem. I returned to my local sears store who replaced it no questions asked other than what was wrong with it. The 2nd one of the same model I received has worked flawlessly ever since. I think I just got a bad one the 1st time around. I would reccomend this nailer, especially for moulding and trim work....

I chose this nailer since you could use nails over two inches in length in it. I do a lot of home improvement work in and around the house and this is tool I use most often. It is easy to use and not a bad price either!...

Tyler says "Good Tool" about Craftsman 18 ga. Brad Nailer Kit

This is a good nailer. I recently put in a whole house-full of trim ranging from base to casing and much more. This nailer held up fine. Now that I am getting used to more nailers, I have gone with Bostitch. That's the way to fly. I have this same nailer in Bostitch and it is even beter. I also have the Bostitch angled finish nailer. The craftsman 4 gallon compressor runs all of my nailers fine. It can even run two nailers at once!...

After my husband introduced me to Compressed Air, and I wore his Brad nailer out, it was time to get my own, and this is it. I've been using it for 6 months now with no problems, untill last night, as I picked it up to reload, the bottem spring loader gizmo came off in my hand, it takes to screws to hold it on and, they were gone. Now I am trying to locate a manual online and find out what I need to look for. other than that it has been quite the workhorse and as my husband says "No Air Tools are Oilless, Oil that thing!" He is right, if U read the fine print and keep track of your screws you'll have a nice working tool....
