I have used a Bostitch nailer previously, and the 350MAG is clearly the better nailer. Have used this tool on one small job so far (shot about 1250 nails, two different sizes) and it is as reliable as advertised. Does not wear you out when used all day. I am a DIYer, and not a pro. This nailer should last me for a lifetime.
Love this tool.Makes making walls a snapRuggedLighter than standard unit very helpful for bigger projects.5+ Stars. JMHO
The framing crew likes this gun. Single fire is now an adjustment on the trigger so no accessory is needed. It's light weight. It shoots the fat common nails that engineers are starting to specify, unlike the FR350A. Depth adjustment requires an allen wrench. You will need a real air compressor that produces at least 9 cfm at 100 psi to keep up with bounce nailing subfloor and sheathing.
This is what I expect of a 110 year old company such as Porter-Cable. I can not wait to put up our new fence.
I dropped my nailer a few times and it still continues to perform the way it did on the first day. I have gone through over ,5000 nails and my nailer has performed flawlees. In both 2-3/8" and 3-1/2" long full head nails. The light weight was definitely a plus, since I used it to secure over 1800 square feet of 1" rough sawn boards on a garage roof that I was building. I also used the nailer in securing the framing made out of 2x6 lumber.Regards John
