Porter-Cable 23 Gauge Pin Nailer PIN138

[WigWagWorkshop]

Good Day Crew!

 

I need to get a 23 gauge pin nailer for the workshop, unfortunately DeWalt does not sell one LOL.  So I was looking at the Porter-Cable below, and was wondering if any of the crew has tried this model, OR what 23 gauge pin nailer with the same specs has this one that uses 5/8 in. to 1-3/8 in 23-gauge fasteners would you recommend.

Thanks in advance,

Honestly the Harbor Freight pinner is an excellent tool. I have Senco and Porter Cable finish nailers. This pinner work great and is cheap.

I read somewhere that HF bought the original dies from Senco when they changed their design...not sure how much truth there is to that...

HF nailers have a high jam rate in my experience. I havent had problems with the 23 gauge but have not used it much. The 18 gauge seems to jam a lot.

I would consider the Hitachi pin nailer its cheaper at 89. might be able to get one cheaper refurbished at bigskytools. I know Hitachi is quality with pneumatics. I'm really surprised Dewalt doesn't have one yet.
