PORTER-CABLE 20V MAX Finish Nailer, Straight, 16GA (PCC792LA)

Needed to replace baseboard in several rooms and needed something to make it easier than using a hammer and messing up the new base boards with hammer marks. Decided to try one of these battery driven nail guns and I'm so glad I did. Did the job in half the time and no destroyed baseboards either. Highly recommend the Porter Cable finish nail gun. I used 2 inch finish nails. But the gun does handle 1.5, 2, and 2.5 inch nails with no trouble at all

Used it to put trim around my outdoor deck. Worked great. Set nails at the perfect depth. Easy to maneuver and not that heavy for me. My girlfriend found it heavy but she is small and 73 years old. Still she was able to use it without much difficulty. Love it. No hoses or cords to worry about and battery last a long time.

Awesome tool, served me well for years. Died recently without warning, still looks brand new. I have no clue what's wrong with it.*Update ----- User error

I am not a professional, but I do quite a bit of my own carpentry, and this is perfect and time saving. I replaced my air powered version because I don't have a portable tank and this lets me work anywhere without having to worry about running air hoses or compressors. It's sturdy and works well.

The finish nailer has worked really well the couple times I have used it. I haven’t had any issues with misfires or with accuracy. So far I’m happy with the purchase. The only downside to the finish nailer is that it didn’t come with a case. Now I have to find a case for it to keep it safe.

Love this item. Adjustment pressure setting is easy to adjust. Can hold and angle the nails as needed. Easy to get into the corners well as well. I do wish the safety switch was slightly larger so I could switch it easier with one hand. It is heavy when I first lifted it, but while using it - it seemed to be easy to position and I never tired of handling it. Battery charged easily and fast. Loaded nails easily. I have just finished using it to refinish walls with 1x6 tongue and groove boards. Next week will do ceilings which I am no longer dredging with this tool.

Massive case and heavier compared to pneumatic model but worth it to be free of an air line snaking through the house - looking forward to adding 18ga model to my lineup of nailers - works well - drives nails fully with easy impact adjustment depending upon material - highly recommended!

DISLIKED THE POOR AND TINY PRINTED INSTRUCTIONS. HAD TO USE A MAGNIFYING GLASS IN ORDER TO SEE THE PRINTED INSTRUCTIONS. ONCE I FIGURED IT OUT, IT WASN'T SO BAD, AND THIS IS A QUALITY NAIL GUN. VERY PLEASED AND HAPPY TO HAVE IT!

It's that time of year when all the outside projects are winding down and we are moving onto indoor projects.

It is a little heavier than my regular nailer, but the fact that I don't have to drag around a 27kg air compressor around a job site more than makes up for the difference in weight. It is still light enough to be used on over-head projects and the lack of cords and hoses makes it extremely portable and convenient.The 'Porter-Cable 16 Guage Straight Finish Nailer' is great for both big and small jobs.

I'm under no obligation to give positive reviews and my opinions of this product is based on my actual use.

I already had Porter Cable 20V tools so it was a no-brainer to add this one to my collection. It is incredibly handy to have a nailer that’s so portable without being tied down by an air compressor. I’ve done trim and baseboards, outdoor planters, a rustic board fireplace surround and more. Very convenient without setup time for small jobs and so portable for larger jobs. Highly recommend!

I’ve been using gas powered units for much of my carpenter life, this unit works every bit as good and no gas cartridges to buy I almost can’t believe it took me this long to try a full electric cordless. Aside from having to wait a sec for that satisfactory bang vs the usual instant this unit is flawless and jammed only once through the course of my project which was easy to remedy.

No compressor or air hose required for application that requires this nailer

Have shot 3000 nails, no problem with 3/4 inch osb. Charges fast. Weight distribution and shape a bit awkward in tight spaces
