STEAL of a DEAL product a Banger for the wallet
By Douglas Clark on Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2024
Not going to lie, I was hesitant when purchased it. This nailer is my first nailer ever. It has a beautiful finish to look at and you kinda don't want to scuff it up. As a DIYer who is turning into a novice construction person. this nail gun has performed excellently for my project of a 1200 sq house remodel. However, after purchasing a Bostitch 21-degree nailer, there are some differences I would like to sharePro: redirect airflow (great)Powerful nailer (too good at times)molded cases ( a must)Cons:heavier than Bostitch magnesium castingno rafter hook, this is a must feature because of the weight of the item, you need to be able to hook it to your tool belt, ladder, etcDouble fire, it may be the airflow coming from your compressor or the sensitivity of the triggerno adjustable nailer firing rate, it will put through the wood at timesOverall, it is a go, buy it up. For the price point, Freeman could even match Bostitch with the addition of an adjustable rafter hook and nailer fire adjustor. Now for the longevity of the item, I don't know, but it is built solid as a rock so I believe it will last a long time if you make sure to oil it every time before using

Gun leaks air after 2 weeks of use
By chad on Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2015
This nail gun worked for about 2 weeks before it started leaking air out the nose. I tightened all screws like some reviewers said but that didn't help. I called Freeman support and they quickly sent me out a new one. +1 for their customer service. They were kind and prompt in sending me another gun. However, after about 2 weeks of use the new gun started leaking out the nose. Exact same problem as the first. So here I am with 2 broken guns. Good customer service, not so good product.Cons:- The leak wasn't the only issue I had...- nails aren't the easiest to put in the gun compared to other nail guns I've used- a nail head will occasionally get stuck in the opening where you put the nails- the plastic from the nails will sometimes hit you in the face (not sure if this is true for all plastic nails) and you feel it!- has a little more recoil than other nailers I've usedPros:- 21 degree nails are considerably cheaper than 34 degree paper tape nails (this is true for any 21 deg gun not just this one)- you can direct the air- It cost me under $100- Freeman Customer service is awesomeI'm currently framing my house so this gun got a lot of use for the 2 weeks it worked. I've used other nail guns (specifically the senco brand) and they are noticeably better quality. Even when the gun worked, other people helping me frame preferred the senco over this one.Summary:After saying that... the cons are minor compared to the pros. I would be happy with this purchase if the gun didn't leak air. After 2 guns with the same issue, I would wait until freeman comes out with a new model.
