Just bought one today. Was going to get either the screwfix or the clarke one - both look a little better but more expensive. But I was again tempted by a bargain (£70)! This is only £30 odd pound more than the electric Rapesco nailer!
Fired a couple of nails but will have a proper play later. And will write more of a review. But first impressions are OK. Left a dent in the wood (mdf). Has no pressure gauge so seems to be trial and error. The knob to loosen the regulator was very stiff - had to get a clamp on it for leverage to turn.
Also the intrstictions say you can only leave on for 10 minutes (no air tank I guess). This shouldn't be a problem for me. If I really like the thing and find it very useful I will no doubt upgrade eiher the gun or compressor - but decent stuff is very pricey - at this price at least I can whet my appetite.
OK - more to come if anyone's interested.
Cheers
