Senco Air nailers
I was wondering if anyone uses or has used Senco Coil nailers. I have about 6 Hitachi's and was curious if anyone has used Senco ... If they had any issues...

Re: Senco Air nailers
I am with you on Hitachi coil nailers. We have tried just about all name brands at one time or another. I thought Senco had to much recoil, kind of bouncy. For me, it threw my rythem off. The life of the Senco was not near what I get out of my Hitachi. My second choice would be the Bostich Ridge Runner.

My guns are geting old I would like to buy new guns but I cant find any that will shoot the nails in straight Ive tried bostich,hitachi griprite, senco455xp would not use any of these guns. Can anyone tell me of a gun that works and shoots the nails staight every time.

Re: Senco Air nailers
Thats funny... ALL 5 of my Hitachi's work perfect.. Have you rebuilt them yet ? I can get the rebiuld o-rings for like $12. Also spraying the inside with silicone spray helps alot. Sometimes the springs on the feeder assembly wear out too . The only thing I would use a bostich for is a Boat Anchor ... especially the Ridge Runner LOL

Re: Senco Air nailers
Bostitches new gun works fine,nailing requires a feel for the gun you`re using,aim straight,they go in straight,new bostitch is the best

Re: Senco Air nailers
I've personally owned Hitachi and Porter Cable. To be honest I preferred the Porter cable. Everyone tells me hitachi is the best, I had more misfires with the hitachi. Being that the porter cable are cheaper and being that I don't use them, employees do, and being that employees don't usually take care of my tools (lost stolen broken)... I vote on the porter cable.
I had a guy who had a senco. I used it a few times and couldn't get into it's rythym. It was finicky. |
