Porter Cable PIN100 Nailer Review

The pneumatic powered Porter Cable PIN100 23-gauge pin nailer uses 60-100 PSI of compressed air to powerfully sink pin nails into any wood type. The 23 gauge pins provide superior hold power while reducing the visible portion of the nail.

The PIN100 nailgun accepts pin lengths from ½ an inch to 1 inch long. The incredible capacity of the magazine holds 170 23 gauge pins, enough to keep you busy for hours with out ever reloading. The convenient bottom fed magazine makes refills a snap.

The compact ergonomic design allows the Porter cable PIN100 pin nailer to cram into almost any tight place. The PIN100 lacks the safety nose common on most nail guns. This allows the nail gun to make further use of its small design. However the safety of the unit is not compromised, the PIN100 feature a double trigger to prevent misfires. The rubber coated handled offers the user superior grip while aiding in comfort. The PIN100 is useful in so many tasks, and will fill the requirements of homeowners to hard-core wood working enthusiasts.

Perfect for any detail job, the PIN100 nailer functions flawlessly. Crown molding, installing prefinished trim on cabinetry, and return work all are easily finished in just minutes.

The Porter Cable PIN100 is a pretty basic nailer, with minimal features. The nailgun will auto adjust to the pin size, quickly saving the user time in calibration. The nailer also features a low nail reload indicator. The unit lacks a rubber non-marring tip found on more expensive nailers. However, users haven not reported damage to their surfaces. Nevertheless, wood workers who frequently make use of soft wood should keep this in mind.
