DEWALT DWFP12231 Brad Nailer Kit, 18GA

My trusty Porter Cable BN200 finally quit on me. It is probably about 20-25 years old so it put in a lot of good years. I needed something immediately and tried the Metabo brad nailer that was cheaper than the dewalt purely because it could be delivered the same day. I shot a handful of 2" nails, or rather, I attempted to shoot a handful of nails with the Metabo and half of them needed to be manually set with a hammer (and yes depth setting was maxed out, pressure was fine). Anyway boxed it up for return and ordered this gun. I already have a smaller Dewalt brad nailer that I like a lot so I wasn't worried, just needed to wait a day to get it. So I finished trimming out my coffered ceiling, maybe shot 200-300 2" brads and not one jam, misfire or nail I needed to set manually. Also, depth was perfect from taking it out of the box, pressure and setup identical to what I used with Metabo. I leave it up to you to draw some sort of conclusion or moral to this story.
