Freeman PMPN Pneumatic Mini Palm Nailer with Magnetic Tip

In the last month I’ve used this tool to install a couple thousand nails on a decking project. Not one bent nail, it’s amazing and easy. Don’t get me wrong, the macho side of me wants to swing a hammer, but for close quarter nailing this tool is indispensable.The plus: It just works. So easy even a kid can use it. (Hey kid: put a little weight on your palm it’ll drive in faster)The not quite as good: It’s a little messy at first. Mine sprayed and leaked a bunch of dark oil the first day I used it. I think this just the factory assembly lube because it’s been declining and is nearly no longer present any longer. See photo. Just hold a rag over the tool for the first day if this bothers you.It’s an air hog for sure. Your pancake compressor may need regular breaks between nails to get back up to pressure.The awesome: In my case the magnet disappeared which let it still useable, just proved to be annoying as it can no longer be used single handed. I contacted Freeman and they are sending me a new one with magnet intact! I love a company that stands behind their warranty.It’s a great tool and terrific value. This is not my first freeman pneumatic tool and it will not be my last.
