    Craftsman 18 ga. Brad Nailer Kit is a great item. September 10, 2010

    I have used this nail gun on a few different projects and it performed flawlessly...I have had zero jams and no issues from this unit. I have used it on hard woods and soft woods, and it has worked well. I was skeptical about all the "jamming" reviews I read, but for the price I took the chance and it works fine.

    Too many Jams January 04, 2008

    Tool starting jamming up the first time that I used it. At first I thought perhaps I was hitting something hard, like another nail, but after more use, the tool began to jam at the rate of 1 per every 3 attempts. With no un-jamming mechanisms, besides the 4 hex screws, each jam added about 5 minutes to the project time. A project requiring more than a few nails quickly becomes rather time consuming. I replaced this model with a Dewalt D51238K, and I have not experienced a single jam in over 100 tries. Based on my other tool experiences with Dewalt vs Craftsman, I am guessing that the better success rate with the Dewalt will continue.

    Craftsman 18 GA Brad Nailer October 11, 2011
    By RenovationJunkie of Fremont, NE
    Pros:
    light weight,easy to use

    I had the choice of getting the stand alone Brad nailer, or getting the 2 in one with a narrow crown stapler.  I had no use for the stapler, so I opted to spend just a few dollars less and get the Brad nailer only.  I have been very pleased with the performance of my new nailer.  It is very light weight, and is one of the only power tools my wife likes to use.  I am a Craftsman guy and my garage is proof of that.  This is another great addition to my shop that delivers great performance!!

    This 18 gauge Brad Nailer is an excellent value for the price. August 05, 2011
    By WVLarry of Hartwell, GA
    Pros:
    light weight,easy to use,Can shoot 2
    Cons:
    Doesn't do staples

    This brad nailer is generally a good tool, and a must have for any DIYer. I especially like the depth adjustment. This is my second Craftsman Brad Gun. It has better features than my old one that lasted probably about 10 years. My only regret is that it doesn't do staples like my old one. But it will do longer brads. Based on the limited use so far, I would recommend this tool.
