Title: Questionable Quality Control
Product review: I bought mine through a national hardware chain store. It worked well for about three weeks of light to moderate use, then just stopped. A smell of burning electrical insulation and emitted smoke convinced me that the solenoid had burned out. I received a brand new product in exchange for the defective one, but the new one shot just two nails, then stopped -- with the same problem as the first. I returned to the store and they obligingly let me try the next one before I left the store with it. I tried three additional nailers, all of which failed after a few (between 3 and 7) operations. Too bad; I liked how the nailer worked, and it was easy to clear occasional jams. My suspicion is that the solenoid is underpowered for the surge current that generates the nailing force. At the very least, there is inadequate testing and quality control of this product.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
