It remains to be seen what happens to Senco long-term. Many of the more consumer-oriented and Chineese/Taiwanese import brands have very short-lived parts availability.
This spring, Senco filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and sold off almost all of it's assets. My local tool repair facility told me they are having a very tough time getting parts now and was not confident about the future.
I have been considering this Senco gun. If you purchase a Senco there's no assurance that parts will be available.
Too bad , they made good tools. So just beware.
They are meant to be used by homeowners until they break then thrown in landfills. If anyone has updated info, please respond to this.
I like the way this gun fires and feels. Seems a bit expensive but you know where your money is going once you use it. Take good care of it and it will out last you.
This nailgun does not disappoint as well as all other Senco products. It is also lighter than the other Senco finish nailers I have owned in the past. This is a strong nailer in tough oak treads and is very consistant in setting nails in the trim work I install. I would buy this item again. A plus is the no worry of oiling it daily, plus there is no worry of getting oil on whatever I am nailing when I accidentally over oil, which is rare,but can happen. I am a trim/stairwork carpenter and this is an excelent nail gun.
The Senco FinishPro 42XP worked flawlessly out of the box. It is light, is very easy to handle and works great with Porter-Cable nails I purchased at Home Depot. It has already saved me hours in not having to manually hammer and set nails in a remodeling project I'm doing at home.
There is not alot to a finish nailer. Oh and i also want it to feel good in my hand and fire smoothly. I want it to cositently sink nails at the proper adjusted depth, be easy to clear if it jams( in about 100,000 nails this has jammed three times, all by hitting a hidden drywall screw) which is absoutely amazing. I would think its about ready for a service but it still works well so i keep firing away. Also adjustable exhaust is nice. This does all of the above so it wins iv used others and this feels the best and fires the smoothest.
