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