 Whisper quiet, great little combo April 13, 2008
Mark (Michigan)
This is a perfect unit for the homeowner. The compressor is amazingly lightweight and quiet. I can carry on a normal conversation with it running in the same room. Senco really thinks of everything by including the teflon tape and quick connects, etc.
Granted, it was probably not geared for the career finish carpenter. But for the weekend handyman it has been great. The only thing I added was a polyurethane straight air hose, because I don't really care for the coil hoses.
This is the 3rd Senco tool I've bought and I've been very pleased with each one, I would say that I will continue buying their air tools but there are only so many nailers that a homeowner needs if they aren't a carpenter or woodworker.
Great little Tool October 24, 2007

This tool works great for small jobs and installations. The Tank is too small for anything else.
Great little set October 3, 2007

I bought this for doing trim and it has done excellent. I also brought an excellent Hitachi narrow crown stapler. Neither the stapler or the brad gun in this combo set have mis-fired yet. They are great products.
The compressor is quiet and very convenient for interior trim. I used it to power the narrow crown stapler to lay down underlayment for vinyl and it had to breathe hard (I had to pause a little) when placing staples every two seconds. But then again, how often do you do that? It was a mild inconvenience for a wonderful compressor.
I also ran a framer off of this to tack in siding. It did fine but had to run every 3 nails so I only sunk the minimum nails I needed to secure it then came afterward once my friend was done using his compressor.
You may want to opt for the next step bigger compressor if you might need it with a framer.
I somehow lost the air filter for this. Their customer help was the nicest I have ever experienced and they are mailing me a new filter for free. Excellent customer service.

This is my first foray into the land of the pneumatic nail gun, so my judgment of this nailer may be distorted by the 'gee whiz' new-ness factor. I bought a pneumatic nailer because the last time I installed door and window molding, the molding would shift from level by the time I could drive the nail home using a hammer. I was left with less than desirable results, so I was determined not to repeat that mistake with my next project.
I purchased this Senco after doing some on-line research, knowing that I would not be doing heavy duty construction work, and balancing price with performance. The purchase through Amazon went smoothly, and the package arrived much sooner than advertised-- a pleasant surprise.
Yesterday I used the compressor and gun for the first time to install door casings. Set-up was fairly straight forward, and it was up and running in a matter of minutes.
Once the compressor is turned on and reaches the operating pressure (within a minute), it shuts down, so you don't have to hear it running all the time. Although the compressor is not loud, you don't want to listen to it all day. The gun is light-weight and comfortable to work with. Simply pressing the gun against the wood and pulling the trigger, I was able to shoot a nail (technically a brad) into the wall with virtually no kick-back. I was quickly able to install the wood casing, much, much faster, and better, than using any manual hammer method. The nail is automatically counter-sunk, and the nail hole is smaller than a comparable nail. I was quite impressed. (I was even more impressed by the carpenters of the 1890's who installed the original casings in my house 'right on' without any electrical tools of any kind.) After about five or six nailings, the compressor would kick in again and power up to the required pressure. This takes only a few seconds, but some reviewers have complained about the frequency of this pressure re-cycling, that a bigger tank is required. My response is "So what!". I have a light-weight compressor that I can pick up with one hand and move it to wherever I want it without much effort or need for a large storage space.
I am very pleased with this Senco nailer. Hopefully it will stand the test of time.

Drives 2 1/2" nails in well but needs a fair amount of recovery time if you are driving more than a few nails at a time. Much quieter than a gas gun. It's a light weight compressor for light weight work.
