Amazon.com Product Description
It's no wonder this tool was hailed the "Lexus of pinners" by a leading consumer magazine. Ideal for nailing finish and trim, light wood assemblies, paneling and more, this supremely versatile pinner is the only nail gun on the market equipped with a magazine that adjusts itself for easy loading of a variety of nail sizes. In fact, the tool accepts nine different nail sizes from 3/8 up to 1-3/8 inches to take on a wide array of nailing tasks, making it the go-to gun for do-it-yourselfers and pros alike. The tool also features an extended narrow nose for accessing corners and tight areas. Perfect for working with softwood trim, rattan furniture, and crafts, this pinner ensures precision fastening of delicate materials with no splitting. Though, its powerful motor drives pins into the hardest materials like oak trim and maple. A compact and lightweight design (less than 8 inches long and just over 2 pounds) means better maneuverability for working in corners and high overhead. A double trigger safety prevents accidental firing--a key feature for conserving compressor air, pins, and for preventing injuries. And, this side-loading unit is equipped with a mechanism that prevents fasteners from tumbling for fewer jams. The unit's removable nose cover provides easy access for clearing jams should they occur. A removable no-mar tip prevents marring of work surface. A rear exhaust with built-in silencer reduces exhaust sound, and a handy indicator lets you see when it's time to reload. Versatility, smooth operation, and even a convenient belt hook for easy transport and safe ladder work--you can't go wrong here. --Brian D. Olson Applications:

Grex pin nailer September 22, 2008
Robert Poplowski (St pete Fl.)
I have had this model for over a year it is a great nailer as I mostly do cabinet installs. I love this for crown molding and light rail molding. My boss borrowed this once and wanted it, he normally used a brad nailer and had to go back and putty holes. As i would not let him use it I'm have some job security with finish trim. I also used this to assemble some base corner molding that had a round corner, so it took three pieces to do the corner. This nailer worked great. I would recommend this to anyone before buying other brands. Spend the money it is worth it
Very nice tool, if you know what to use it for. July 26, 2008

This is an excellent product, comes ready to use, and works perfectly. Quiet, light, and well made. Feels better than the Porter Cable I tried out, and extremely accurate. I used it at 90 psi with the 1 3/8" pins, and had no issues with putting pins through shoe molding, corner molding, pinning crown miters, etc.
A very minor gripe: it is difficult to load a new clip of pins when there are a few still left on the old clip. The spring mechanism pushes the two clips together pretty hard when you close the magazine, and the ends of the clips can get doubled up, jamming the magazine. I was unable to fix this, so I just made sure I only refilled when it was completely empty. Kind of a hassle on the ladder, but there are so many pins in a clip it didn't matter to me that much. I don't know if this was a problem on the other pinner I tried out because I never thought to check.
If you've never used a pinner, you should know that it is NOT going to replace your finish nailer. In other words, don't plan on a pinner to hold up oak trim on a coffered ceiling. You can put the smaller stuff (cove, bead) up with the pinner, and you get perfect results.
Another great use for the pinner is holding the returns on small pieces of trim while the glue sets up. Things that you cannot clamp together can be pinned and you'll probably never see the tiny hole. Plus, no problems with splitting the end grains either! Saves me hours of hole-filling and irritation.
This pinner has the dual trigger, and it works well. One safety note, don't get complacent about holding the safety trigger down and waving the gun around at the same time (away from the workpiece). There is no safety tip to depress, so it will fire away. It's all too easy to slide one hand a little too close to the tip while you're positioning and give yourself a new body piercing. Didn't do it personally, but it can be done...
One thing this gun doesn't do as well as a finish nailer is shoot at shallow angle. There's no deep countersink to push the angled nails in, and the pins are so fine that the grain of hard wood will sometimes curve your angled shots and turn them out the side. If you're shooting near the joint between two pieces of wood, it will very easily just follow the joint instead of angling through them. Just take some care in lining it up before you pull the trigger and that issue goes away.
A minor gripe: it is difficult to load a new clip of pins when there are a few still left on the old clip. The spring mechanism pushes the two clips together pretty hard when you close the magazine, and the clips can get doubled up, jamming the magazine. I was unable to prevent this, so I just made sure I only refilled when it was completely empty.

This nailer costs a little more than the others, but it appears to be well made, functioned perfectly right out of the box and has been a handy addition to my tool arsenal. The tool barely leaves a trace of a nail entry hole and adequately holds trim tight and secure. I am a professional remodeler and I looked at several similar products before ordering this one. I believe I made the right choice. Grex P635 23 Gauge 1-3/8-Inch Length Headless Pinner

I chose the GREX P635 23 Gauge 1-3/8-Inch Length Headless Pinner based on recommendations of other users and it's greater capacity for variable pin size. So far it has functioned flawlessly in various density of wood and leaves no mars or obvious nail holes. The nailer's quality is obvious when you first handle it, as compared to my other nailers. I wish I had it when I trimmed my cabinets.

This little pinner is amazing, will leave very little indents after nailing. Easy and comfortable to use each and everytime. Each day I look for something to build just so I can use this gun. I tried Porter-Cable but found it leaves deep indents since they've refused to add a bumper tip.
Couldn't be happier with my GREX!!!!!
