It remains to be seen what happens to Senco long-term. They are meant to be used by homeowners until they break then thrown in landfills. Many of the more consumer-oriented and Chineese/Taiwanese import brands have very short-lived parts availability.
This spring, Senco filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and sold off almost all of it's assets. So just beware. I have been considering this Senco gun.
If you purchase a Senco there's no assurance that parts will be available. If anyone has updated info, please respond to this. My local tool repair facility told me they are having a very tough time getting parts now and was not confident about the future.
Too bad , they made good tools.
Take good care of it and it will out last you. I like the way this gun fires and feels. Seems a bit expensive but you know where your money is going once you use it.
It is also lighter than the other Senco finish nailers I have owned in the past. This nailgun does not disappoint as well as all other Senco products. I am a trim/stairwork carpenter and this is an excelent nail gun. A plus is the no worry of oiling it daily, plus there is no worry of getting oil on whatever I am nailing when I accidentally over oil, which is rare,but can happen. This is a strong nailer in tough oak treads and is very consistant in setting nails in the trim work I install. I would buy this item again.
It has already saved me hours in not having to manually hammer and set nails in a remodeling project I'm doing at home. The Senco FinishPro 42XP worked flawlessly out of the box. It is light, is very easy to handle and works great with Porter-Cable nails I purchased at Home Depot.
Oh and i also want it to feel good in my hand and fire smoothly. There is not alot to a finish nailer. This does all of the above so it wins iv used others and this feels the best and fires the smoothest. Also adjustable exhaust is nice. I want it to cositently sink nails at the proper adjusted depth, be easy to clear if it jams( in about 100,000 nails this has jammed three times, all by hitting a hidden drywall screw) which is absoutely amazing. I would think its about ready for a service but it still works well so i keep firing away.
