i actually bought this gun before my air gun(paslode 350) because i caught it on sale and couldn't resist.  so needless to say, it got a lot of use when i should have been using an air gun.  but, this gun is up to the task, and no dragging around air hose.  one word of caution,  follow the maintainance schedule! it will misfire if not taken care of.  clean it thoroughly with the correct products. do this and you will save yourself time and headaches.  i cant imagine not having one, its just way too handy.
