This Old Workshop

 Since we received this before the release, I found no nails in the box and I was off to the fastener store to get some nails. I was told that the nailer would take Senco nails and some generic nails. I grabbed some of each in different sizes and was back to the shop to sink some nails. I grabbed pieces of pine, oak plywood, OSB, MDF, fir, cherry and poplar out of the scrap bin, and proceeded to sink a few clips of nails. I noticed instantly that this nailer was a little on the heavy side compared to our Porter-Cable brad nailer, but it also felt more refined with its curved grip and trigger. The Accuset is clearly more ergonomic than any nailer I had used before. The depth adjustment was easy to dial in and is definitely a feature I will not forgo in any future nailer purchases. Clip after clip and not a single jam. I thought I would sit down and write this review but Dan said he felt I had to use the nailer in a real project before I could really recommend it or give it the boot. Finally, the opportunity arose to build some displays and I was quick to grab the Accuset finish nailer. This is when it truly won me over. I became more and more impressed with the feel of this tool, the accuracy of the sets and the ease of loading are all great features, but my favorite it the turreted exhaust port. You know the blast of compressed air that hits you just below the safety glasses or blows dust in your partner while he is holding the pieces together. well this nailer has a neat little turret that lets you aim the blast to infinity and beyond. I have since used this tool to do some crown molding, base boards and trim work. This set is a great value at only $159.00 on line. Without a doubt, Accuset has produced a winner. This little black and red beauty will see a lot of action in this old workshop, and we feel your shop could use one as well. A good nailer is a very valuable tool indeed.
