Save some coin with a Porter Cable refurb!
My wife and I had the ambitious plan of finishing our basement. Since neither of us had any experience with home construction or woodworking, we decided that in order to do this right, we needed the right tools.

Considering the amount of framing we needed to do, a framing nailer was going to be a valuable tool. Being an important part of the process, I was concerned that a reconditioned tool might not be a good buy. I reviewed the details and as far as Porter Cable is concerned, a PC reconditioned tool has the same factory warranty as one fresh from the factory. Previous good experiences with PC tools helped me make the decision to get the FR350AR.

The nailer arrived in a large black plastic case. It came with a manual and a small bottle of machine oil. An inspection of the tool showed a little surface wear, probably from being put down on concrete or other abrasive surfaces, but PC molded sacrificial ridges on the tool body that take most of the abuse. The magazine mechanism was in good shape. It looked like the touched up some of the paint where it might have been chipped. All in all it was in excellent condition.

Saturday finally came and I was able to give the FR350AR a workout. I hooked it up to my PC pancake compressor that comes with the extremely popular brad/finish nailer kit, dialed in an initial pressure of 100 psi and hooked it up to the tool. There was a small hiss as the tool pressurized and was ready to go. I put on my safety gear and grabbed a stick of 3" ring plastic collated nails that I picked up from the neighborhood Lowe's. Nails are inserted from the rear of the magazine and pushed towards the front. You then grab the follower and pull it towards the back of the magazine and while still holding it, let it pull itself forward, pushing the nails into the firing mechanism.

While using the plastic tip, I pushed the tip against the 2x4 up on the ceiling joints and pulled the trigger. I heard a 'pop' with a little recoil and a nail was sunk 1/8" into the 2x4. The next test came when I started installing the studs. I removed the plastic tip to expose the spiked safety foot and put the plastic tip into the holder in the magazine. With the stud all centered, I placed the tip at a 45 degree angle and inch from the base of the stud and pulled the trigger. I nail shot into the stud and down into the base plate. It was left sticking out of the wood about 3/8 of an inch, enough to get at in case I needed to remove it. Excellent! The PC FR350AR will stop firing when you are down to four nails left in the magazine so you realize you need a refill. Insert more nails, readjust the follower and you were off and running again.

The pancake compressor seemed to do a good job holding up against the work I was doing with the nailer. I had it outside with a long hose run into the basement, so I couldn't hear it running. I didn't get any complaints from my neighbors so it must not have been running very often.

I only have two complaints with this nailer:

1) Although the tool is pretty balanced in my hand, the grip isn't spongy enough for my palm. The area between my thumb and forefinger was sore after all the nailing was done.

2) The plastic collation bits come shooting out of the nailer (from where exactly, I am not sure) and landed all around. I did find many bits in my hair afterwards so watch out for them.

Overall, I am extremely pleased with how well this reconditioned framing nailer has worked so far. I have plenty more work for it, so I will post an update another time for some long-term observations. ... Read more

Great deal on a planer
I have used this planer primarily on doors in my house. In particular, I've found it long enough to get the start and end of the edge planed without "clipping" the edge. I'm not an expert door-hanger -- but it has easily paid for itself in saved labor costs.

A few words of advice on (interior doors). Plane when your house is MOST humid (usually in the summer) as the doors expand and you want them to close easily when they are most expanded. Be sure to plane an extra 1/64" or so to allow yourself a gap for a primer and at least one if not two finished coats of paint on the side edge of your doors. As for the tops and bottoms, leave them unpainted to allow the wood to dry if they are new doors, otherwise, a matching primer is more than enough and you need not bother with a finish coat of paint. Unless your doors is really badly off, you will not need to re-seat the hardware, but be prepared to if necessary. But before you start, make sure all of your hinge plates are on tight. No use taking a plane to a door if the problem is not the size of the door, but loose hingest. If so, replace the hinge screws with longer ones, and be sure to pre-drill the holes first to prevent cracking the door or jamb wood.

This tool beats hand planing allowing you to complete a door in just a few minutes. It will take you more time to get the door off and remove the hardware than to plane the edges. Adjustments are easy. I found this tool to be almost identical to the Makita planer which I borrowed prior to purchasing this one. ... Read more

Close quarters
I resently went into business for myself installing cabinets.I have struggled for months with other drill / drivers to drill holes or drive screws in small or tight cabinets. THIS IS THE PERFECT TOOL FOR BOTH. Also great for removing cabinet door from there hinges. Buy one for yourself, or two. Give one to your helper for Christmas, or his/her birthday. My female partner loves it. She say's "Very easy to handle, but hold on, it has power."

This is a super drill design which is a copy of the original SIOUX close quarter drill used in airplane factories. Improvements in the Milwaukee model are (1)variable speed, (2)instant reversing, (3)lighter weight, and (4)isolated from electric shock. It is so perfectly balanced and quiet, it is a joy to use. ...

Great Finish Nailer
I have owned this Reconditioned finishing nailer for almost a year now and have yet to encounter a single problem. Nailer came in perfect condition even though it was factory reconditioned. I have used many brands of nailers and would recommend nothing but porter cable.

Great product
Purchased this product to speed up the process of building a deck. This item performed flawlessly. Easy to use, fairly light weight and drives nails without splitting the wood. Love it!

Air nailers can't be beat.
I have the 250Ar, but I'm sure it's similar/same. I have not tried a lot of finish nailers, but I can tell you I'm happy with this one:

-- going from 3/4 to 2.5 inches is a wide range
-- tool requires a quick look at the manual to use the first time, then easy easy easy.
-- price is right -- and probably the best you'll find anywhere.

If you do any amount of finish work, I think this tool is worth it (though, you need to have/buy a compressor to use it!). I found that you definitely need to regulate the pressure going into this tool -- my best luck has been with 90lbs (or a bit less, though that's out of spec). Drives nails VERY accurately.

Mine came with nails, so I'm pretty happy! I've bought plenty of refurbished tools... without any problems ever. I wouldn't hesitate!

First time user... never again.
Just bought FN250BR, first time using a finish nailer, and I already don't know how I did without it. Easy to use, light weight, and looked brand new out of the box. One thing I was not sure of was, how would I know if I hit a stud without feeling the nail being driven in. Easy, when you hold the molding up tight to the ceiling and drive a nail the molding pulls up tighter if you hit a stud. Almost gave this product a 4 star rating, when it came there were no nails in the case, and boy I wanted shoot some nails. ... Read more

Superb compressor
Don't let the word "reconditioned" scare you off from purchasing this...the one I got looked and operated like it was brand new. The compressor is great and relatively quiet for what it's rated for and the size. This is probably one of the easier compressors to carry around to job sites. The layout of the gauges and hookups are good as with the drain plug. With Emglo's name behind it, this Dewalt compressor should withstand abuse and should last for years. Definitely value for the money. ... Read more
