Nailer [Posted on 2007-09-04]
This product is great and it makes framing a breeze. The only problem is that the wire clipped 28 degree nails are not commonly found in a lot of the public building supply stores (Home Depot, Lowes etc.) They can special order them for you but if you need them right away you are out of luck, with that being said once you do get the nails this is one fine nailing machine that will work all day without any problems.
If you want a trouble free framing nailer this is a very fine heavy duty one Bostitch F28WW Clipped Head 2-Inch to 3-1/2-Inch Framing Nailer with Magnesium Housing

Works right out of the box! [Posted on 2008-01-07]
Excellent! This product works right out of the box. Light-weight, excellent power. Might need a future re-design of the "smart trigger," but on the whole a very good nailer.

industry standard [Posted on 2008-03-31]
This gun is the industry standard framing gun in my opinion.
The nails are readilly available in a wide variety of sizes and finishes. I run this gun off a small bostich (pancake) compressor for low duty jobs. For rapid fire nailing I need to use a larger compressor.
Will last you forever if you oil it every day. I have seen guns with leaky o-rings but this is caused by letting them dry out. Also, be sure to unplug the air line at the end of the day especially if freezing temps are expected at the site (or in your truck) overnight.

Great [Posted on 2008-04-03]
Really like this product. Haven't had any problems with it. It can take paper collated nails to, which is quite handy. My boss has a similar Bostitch gun and he has had that for about 15 years.

lightest and most powerful [Posted on 2008-05-16]
I have used almost every brand and type of framing nailer over the span of 20 years. this nailer is as close to perfection as i have seen. i was afraid it may have poor durability because of it's extreme light weight, but over the last 2 years, a million+ nails, and a few nasty falls it has crushed all my fears. I can't remember one jamb, sinks nails in lvl and other lam mat. better than any other gun i've used, and i think at this point it's takenthe durability prize. my only complaint would be the smart trigger acts goofy at times since day one. maybe by now bostitch has smartend up the goofy thing. i think i bought the first one they sold.
i noticed one reviewer said nails are hard to find for this gun, "special order" i think he said. maybe out west (WA?) where he is, but around here (PA) 28 wire is the standard. They are everywhere. i've even bought them at a back woods mom and pop hardware store.
