Used nailer as soon as I received it. Works great,I always have good luck with Bostitch tools and the price from Amazon .com was unbeatable.
Consider others [Posted on 2007-08-25]
I have been using nail guns for 31 years, and purchased three Bostitch nailers this year alone. All have broken down. The gun worked reasonably well, except that the head kept falling off (like my F33). I shipped it back for repair 6 weeks ago. The parts are backordered. I called Bostitch and was told repeatedly that they did not get involved with their own recommended service centers. If they don't, who does? I emailed customer service and did not get the courtesy of any response.
Nails are another issue. They "dimple" pine trim to a greater extent then my other finish nailers. In nailing PVC facia trim, I use stainless steel nails. I had more difficulty getting SS nails for this gun then others I use. Additionally, the nails were exceedingly expensive and hopelessly banged up into short strips upon shipping.
Their lack of reliability, lack of customer service and their notorious attempts to design unusual collating angles in order to force retailers/buyers to use only their nails produces a score of "1" from this reviewer. I haven't found a way to use a gun on a job that is at the repair shop or awaiting nails, and that's the starting point for any tool.

This Bostich finish nailer is perfect for the small jobs I have been doing on a new house. Chair rail and wainscoting installations are a breeze with this great tool. Highly recommended. I am using my own air source and it works perfectly.
Not up to snuff.. [Posted on 2008-03-25]
I received this one last Christmas as a present from my daughter, even though I already owned a Porter-Cable DA250B finish nailer that my wife bought me, based upon my wishes, for my birthday.
Even though the two nailers cost about the same on Amazon, I think the Porter-Cable DA250B is around $168.00, after using the Bostitch N62FNK Finish Nailer, off and on, for less than a month on cabinets and oak trim, I bought new packs of nails for my reliable Porter-Cable DA250B, and finished the job using that.
The Bostitch nailer would constantly jam after about 15-18 nails, bending nails and leaving dents in the wood that had to be repaired later. It seemed that it had at least 1/4 less driving power than the Porter Cable, which meant that I had to use a hand nail set to seat the nails.
Driving larger and longer nails into the cabinet framing was no problem with the Porter Cable, while the Bostitch mostly jammed while trying to do the same thing.
Get the Porter Cable model. You'll save hours of time and frustration, and the nails are readily available at either Home Depot or Lowes.
Pretty Good [Posted on 2008-04-03]
Heya, great product. Very handy. Haven't had any problems apart from a couple of jams, but that is not unusual with any other gun. Definately recommend this as Bostitch is a very good quality brand.
