Senco2K0103N FramePro 702XP FRH, Sequential Nailer

I bought this for a home remodel involving adding and removing walls. I figured a framing nailer will make the job go faster than either nailing with a hammer or using a cordless drill with construction screws. I was correct. Note: I am a homeowner, not a professional carpenter or framer.This nailer is effective, just like most other framing nailers. However, there are two issues I have with it.First: no matter how I adjust the depth gauge I cannot sink toe-nails completely. At maximum depth the nails still stick out a quarter of an inch when toe-nailing. Flat nailing works great: the heads are as far as they can go. This means I have to finish the job with a hammer, which is a minor to moderate inconvenience. In a 16 inch stud cavity it is not an issue. However, if I have to sister a damaged stud in a tight area that is not 16" (e.g. end of a wall, inside a closet) then I might just not drive the toe-nails all the way in. Part of the reason I bought a framing nailer is to drive nails in places where I can barely fit the nailgun but cannot swing a hammer.Second: jams. I knew this going in based on other reviews, but now I understand more about it. It seems that once it gets low on nails, maybe 4-6 remaining, it is possible for it to jam. Maybe it has to do with the spring tension on the nail follower that pushed them toward the front? If I add more nails before it gets to that point, no jams. If I let it get too low, jams nearly every time. The instructions on how to clear the jam are a bit unclear as well. You need to loosen the nut near the handle that holds the magazine to the main part of the nailer. The magazine has an oval-shaped opening there, and loosening that nut means you can now slide the magazine slightly to detach it from the front of the nailgun. Then the bad nail will either fall out on its own, or you can fit needle-nose pliers in there to grab it. Be sure to unhook the air hose to avoid nasty accidents while doing this.There are two things to keep in mind about this nailer. First, it is NOT oil-free. My other Senco nailers are, but this one needs oil. Be sure to buy some nailgun oil if you do not already have it, and follow the directions in the nailer's manual regarding its usage. Second, despite the product description, it accepts both 20 and 21 degree nails. I figured as much given the inconsequential difference between them, but it "officially" supports both.Overall I like this nailer and do not plan on returning it based on the issues it has. I learned how to deal with the issues

Great nail gun, however, it does not toe nail has well as the old one.

Update: I've had this for a while now. It's a good framer with plenty of power, but mine is sensitive to air pressure. Max pressure is 120 psi, and if you are using 3-1/2" nails, it needs that kind of pressure. This is probably not a problem if you have a better compressor... my portable compressor is a piece of junk, that's most likely the problem. The nailer itself works great and never jams - just shoots nails with no problems.

This nailer is heavy duty and gets the job done. The most notable feature may be the aggressive styling and rugged appearance. It accepts "cheap" nails and I've not had it misfire more often than you'd expect from a nail gun. I picked this nailer up for $167.xx last year so it was a no-brainer for me. I have owned other Senco nailers and never really liked them, preferring at the time Hitachi or Duo-fast, however this gun is much better and I'm happy with it. It's not a lightweight light-duty tool, but it IS a well designed, feature-rich, professional-grade nailer.

This is a great nail gun, especially for the price I paid. I spent 20 years in the construction trades and used many different brand framing nailers over that time. This is the one I am keeping for my home remodeling projects. It is heavy duty enough for daily use on the job site so I expect it to out last me as my home project nail gun. It is easy to set the nail sink depth, doesn't seem to jam and shoots full head nails. What's not to like?

I tried multipal times to use. Didn’t work initially, called customer service they told me to add oil which I did. Keep in mind my old senior nailer I never Ed added oil and I’ve had it 25 years. New nailer worked for about 15-20 nails then locked up. I returned it. I added oil to my old senco and continued my job.

Always a great product Senco!

Bought this for doing walls inside my shop/garage. Completely dependable

The gun works great. Only issue I had was that it takes a 3/8 th inch coupling, but I was able to find the fittings to get it up and running at a local auto parts store.
