Porter-Cable FN250B 3/4-Inch to 2-1/2-Inch 16-Gauge Finish Nailer

Porter-Cable FN250B 3/4-Inch to 2-1/2-Inch 16-Gauge Finish NailerI have three Porter Cable finish nailers, the 18 gauge brad nailer, the 16 gauge finish nailer, and the 15 gauge angle finish nailer.

Excuse me for stating the obvious, but the 18 gauge leaves the tiniest hole, which is nice for clear finish work. The 16 gauges hole is a bit larger, but still acceptable for clear finishes on larger trim work. The new 15 gauge, actually leaves a D Shaped hole. It is kind of large, and is designed for putty and paint. The 15 gauge is a bear though. When you fire it for the first time, POW, you know it is stronger than the 16. Although I haven't had any unusual problems with the depth drives on the 16, other than knot concerns.

If I had to choose one nailer, instead of all three, I would say this 16 gauge would give you the most universal use.

This 16 gauge, has great ergonomics, fires reliably, (keep your finger off of the trigger when plunging the nose) and overall does a very nice job. Keep it oiled.

I wanted a finish nailer that could make my nailing job easier

as I suffer from Carpal Tunal Syndrome. I conducted research on the reliability, price and features on several different finish nailers. I spoke to trades people and co-workers who had Porter Cable tools, and came away impressed. This was my first Porter Cable Tool and air nailer purchase.

What impresses me most about the FN250B air nailer is the balanced feel and weight of this tool along with the padded handle. The nailer loads easily and has never jammed. Adjusting the depth of the nails is simple.

I use the FN250B finish nailer on home improvement projects like crown molding installation and building custom shelving. I wonder why I didn't buy one years ago.

I purchased this nailer to replace the ceiling in a 100 year old farm house. No previous experience with nailers or remodeling for that matter so I checked the reviews, then went for the best deal. I played with it for a day in scrap wood to learn how to adjust the depth of fire and get the feeling of how it worked. It never double fired, jammed, or misfired, worked well upside down and was light enough to keep above your head for multiple nailings and I never got fatigued. My girlfriend even used it without a problem and thought it was very easy to use. It is not intended for tight spots though so the corners were tricky. I oiled it per manufacturers suggestion and it worked without a hitch. Get the angled one if you are going to do a lot of moulding work or have tight spaces. I would highly recommend this product

I love the power of this gun. It drives nails with a forceful, and solid hit. I've used the Senco "Finish32" guns from home depot that shoot these same 16 gauge nails and this Porter Cable gun by far out delivers that model 10/1. I'm in the field everyday with this unit running all types of trim with it.

Keep your air to 120 and forget setting nails with this light weight, powerful tool.

Enjoy!

I have been searching for a light weight, general purpose finish nailer for a while. Finding the FN250B was well worth the wait. A beautiful design with a secure, comfortable grip and a much appreciated, adjustable exhaust port. Reloading or changing nail lengths couldn't be easier. I have used this nailer for nearly a month and it has failed to jam even once ... knock on wood. After working with this newly designed nailer, I will definitely consider PC products when making future purchases.

I've used this pump to pump up four tires on 1 car, from mid 20 to mid-30 PSI. The frame has started to bend, and it's making a very unpleasant grating noise when I pump, because the push-rod is scraping the hole it goes through, so the disk at the back of the cylinder is bending. I was going to do another tire, but I didn't want to risk it.

Avoid.

Too bad I can not use 0 stars. Steel frame bent the first time I used it.

Don't be fooled by the "Heavy Duty" name. This pump is a lightweight, too light and insubstantial to work well as a foot pump. Every time I lifted my foot after pumping the pedal, the unit would jump about. The only way to avoid the jumping was to either lift my foot very slowly or hold the unit down with my other foot on one of the little legs. It really needs to be bolted down to something, like a 2 foot square thick piece of plywood, before it can be used without driving one crazy. I threw mine away and bought a much sturdier (and cheaper) hand pump.

It didn't last long before it broke. Granted, I've had it for a couple of years, but I don't really need to pump things that often. After minimal use, it just gave out.

I did not heed the warning of other purchasers I was merely looking for a simple pump that could keep the odd bike tire inflated. This product was a disappointment on every level. The nozzle does not properly latch onto a tire, the attachments for inflatable toys barely work I spent 10 minutes trying to inflate a single bike tire, forcing the nozzles together so some air actually got into the tire.

I am going to purchase something else, probably electronic and not a foot pump -this was a complete waste.

Interstate Pneumatics LF10-4H-HP Pressure Switch - 1/4 FPT Four Port - Bend Lever Swicth - 175 PSI

Interstate Pneumatics LF10-4H-HP Pressure Switch - 1/4 FPT Four Port - Bend Lever Swicth - 175 PSI
  • 1/4 NPT female connection
  • 6.3 mm unloader valve connection
  • Cut off pressure 135-175 PSI
  • Amperage Rating 20 Amps
  • Short and Bend lever switch

The 90 degree angle on the air feed to the tank didn't work for my compressor. Original part didn't have a bend new one did. had to add another fitting to be able to connect the line to the tank.

Adjustments aren't that easy trial and error but it works. weakest link is a rubber bladder glued to steel manifold. Then that glue gives the unit won't shutoff at the right pressure. Old one lasted 5 years hope this one does too.
