Purchased, gun in hand, photos to follow. Ya I don't know what his deal was. This is a very well put together machine! It's common to have failures on a new product launch, and normally you're safer to get a product on it's second year cycle. Perhaps he didn't like the way the initial recall was handled, I don't know. Blasted off a bunch of test pins and you can fire pretty quickly! Safety has to be fully engaged to fire, then disengaged in between shots, but it is very smooth acting and not as finicky as the Senco fusion I owned, or other cordless models I've tried. When firing there is a pop similar to the paslode, it might be slightly louder but only slightly and certainly not ear shattering. Then again, I've seen Motorhead ten times in concert when they were still VERY loud and also alive, so that might have an effect on my hearing range. Working from memory, as my senco fusion doesn't work, The fusion is in the same sound range only a touch quieter. Bullet changes are fast and easy, it's the same components as standard grex guns. Cartridge changes are also simple. I love that the batteries wont continually discharge. I'll try and get some comparison photos of this gun compared to a crappy porter cable corded 18g, I never use, heck, I'll show it next to my useless fusion.
All in all, this has the make and feel of a professional quality tool. Will give some long term feed back in the field

Regarding discharge odour, you catch a very slight wiff of propane, no where near as prominent as the paslode however

I love the story told by the pictures, ending with the porter cable in the trash lol. Well played.

Been using this guy in the shop the past two days and I love so far. Yes I'm in the shop and I could easily use a standard 18 g but I'm breaking in the new guy. Very easy to place your nails accurately,a pleasure to use so far. The test for cordless gun's is longevity, and well that takes time... untll these are on The market for a few years we won't really know how it holds up. works great for three days though, whatever that's worth.

Love it. Though I've mostly been in the shop since I got it, I've chosen to use it instead of standard 18g. I personally feel it's worth the price over the paslode for all the features already discussed in this thread. It's as easy to push the nose in as any grex gun. Also very easy to pinpoint exact nail placement. Yup still in love. I suppose the true test is to see how it holds up until the warranty is up but that's 2 years from now. This being a new product, that's unknown. I remain confident that it'll keep plugging.
