I use a framing nailer & compressor to build shipping crates, brace goods inside trailer for trucking, building walls, decks, etc.  I bought this nailer for the smaller jobs (like crate building) instead of hauling out the compressor set up.  I am more than impressed, it took half the time for this job because of the set up & clean up time.  The tool works remarkably well.  However, i did read through the manual and other reviews, noting that it is important to depress the contact tip fully before pulling the trigger.
