Weighing just 7.6 pounds, the tool handles great in tight quarters like attics and during otherwise shoulder-burning overhead tasks. The innovative design is a big plus when nailing top plates to floor joints or when crawling under that low deck to reinforce the new hot-tub. A factory installed sequential trigger and Bostitch’s exclusive Smart Trigger ensure optimal control and faster production. The trigger works as either a sequential or bump fire trigger. A notched, 16-inch layout indicator on the magazine helps achieve correct distance between studs in a matter of seconds. And, a lightweight magnesium housing means easy handling and unsurpassed durability.

The unit drives 2- to 3-1/2-inch wire-collated framing nails. One of the most powerful framers on the market, this nailer features 1,050 inch-pounds of driving power for tackling even toughest engineered lumber applications. And, bolt-on, steel wear guards with integrated rubber skid pads protect the tool from bumps and drops for durability and years of use. --Brian D. Olson

Content: This is a great gun! I've used it for lots of stuff like building a shed, repairs and new remodeling projects. It's got plenty of power to drive fasteners into engineered lumber and even the old dense wood used to build my house decades ago. The operation is simple as you might expect, and it is reasonably priced. Mine is made in the USA, and hopefully they still are made here.

My only complaint is that it doesn't include a 1/4" plug with it, and it doesn't come with a case. Not that it's a bad thing, but this thing is pretty heavy and it will give you a good workout. I'd take it over anything else on the market except the Max SN883RH framing nailer, but that thing cost almost 50% more.
Summary: Great Gun

Content: I have used almost every brand and type of framing nailer over the span of 20 years. this nailer is as close to perfection as i have seen. i was afraid it may have poor durability because of it's extreme light weight, but over the last 2 years, a million+ nails, and a few nasty falls it has crushed all my fears. I can't remember one jamb, sinks nails in lvl and other lam mat. better than any other gun i've used, and i think at this point it's takenthe durability prize. my only complaint would be the smart trigger acts goofy at times since day one. maybe by now bostitch has smartend up the goofy thing. i think i bought the first one they sold.
i noticed one reviewer said nails are hard to find for this gun, "special order" i think he said. maybe out west (WA?) where he is, but around here (PA) 28 wire is the standard. They are everywhere. i've even bought them at a back woods mom and pop hardware store.
Summary: lightest and most powerful

Content: Really like this product. Haven't had any problems with it. It can take paper collated nails to, which is quite handy. My boss has a similar Bostitch gun and he has had that for about 15 years.
Summary: Great
