I bought mine from several years ago and it's been well worth the investment.There are fewer fulfilling things in life than achieving one’s dream. It looks and feels very nice actually, but i can't vouch for it's performance as i have never used one on a job. Uncommon nail size so keep that in mind when you buy nails - i get mine from Woodcraft- they have both the slight headed and headless in the 21 g. Great for temp jigs/hold downs as it's enough holding power but it doesn't fight you when you go to disassemble. It's my "go to" gun for the leading edge of all my casing work and won't split the outside miters on mdf. It shoots through anything without any trouble. Nice compact body so you can get a good angle and keep the nailhole high. It is perfect for installing prefinished trim- i bought mine specifically for installing prefinished cove molding at the tread / riser overhang on my stair jobs. I have the Omer 21g.- it's the best made nail gun i have or ever have had.
