Reliable, works well. The tool includes a complete set of replacement gaskets, safety glasses, hammer, wrenches, and oil. This is my first foray into nail-down flooring. I have floated several engineered floors, but wanted nail-down for a small remodel job. I used this tool to install 5/8 hand scraped birch. This is a heavy tool so you need to be careful not to damage your floors if you are installing pre-finished wood. I used 1-3/4" L-nails (you will probably only be able to find 2" L-nails at the box stores.) Be sure to practice with some test strips before installation. Use a moderate blow, too light and the nail will not fully set and you will have to manually set the nail. If you strike a very heavy blow, you may damage/split the flooring (I set my compressor to 90 psi, which is rated at 4.2 cfm at that pressure, your results may vary depending on your compressor settings/performance). There is a removable plastic sole on the tool and an additional one in the box, make sure you are using the correct one for the flooring width. As a DIY'er, you won't be working as quickly as the pro's, but if you are careful you will have very nice results with this tool. Even for a small, job, the price is well worth it.
