Tools and Hardware Reviews of Arrow Fastener ET200 Heavy Duty Electric Nail Gun, shoots up to 1 1.4-Inch Brads
Customer Review: WARNING: Listen to the Reviewers on this one!
Summary: 1 Stars
I read the other reviews on this gun, but I thought the flaws in the product line might have been fixed by now, so I bought one last night. Today, May 5, 2007, I loaded the gun, shot one 5/8" brad nail, and the gun wouldn't fire again. I smelled the odor of electrical shorting in the gun's coil and realized that the gun I had just put my trust (and time and money) into was exactly like the other reviewers had tried to point out to me - JUNK! I will making another trip to the hardware store to buy an air powered gun this time. My apologies to the other people who tried to warn me.
Customer Review: It shot four brads and died. Don't buy it.
Summary: 1 Stars
Other's have had almost exactly the same experience. It fired four brads and then quit dead. None of the brands were set but had to be hammered in. I thought maybe the outlet suddenly bad, so I tried it in another outlet. Then I took out the brads and checked to be sure there was no jam and it still didn't work. It just plain up and died after four shots! I think there was some sort of electrical malfuntion within the unit because the handle got very warm even though it was not being used.
So my advice is to avoid this product.
Customer Review: Listen to the wisdom of the group

You'd have more success pushing nails in with your thumb than you will with this product. Concur with the other negative reviews listed. Am writing this to inform the general populace that as of June 2008 - the unit is STILL as bad as the earlier reviews indicate. Ours lasted for 15-20 1 in nails installing pine trim. I've spent the better part of the day trying new outlets, new nails, and cleaning the unit to no avail.
It's too late for me. Learn from my mistake and save yourself!
Customer Review: Ver 2 Seems OK
Summary: 3 Stars
I borrowed this tool from a friend. I am using it to nail quarter-round to baseboard with 1.25" nails. So long as I remember to use two hands, pushing firmly against the work, it sinks the nails flush to the surface or
slightly below. Downside is that pressing hard this way damages the wood, so it needs a larger surface to press against the work to reduce damage. I understand they sell a rubber 'bumper' for this purpose, but I have been unable to find one.
Customer Review: Fastener Unsuited for Purchase
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this product to apply 1/4 inch pine wainscot boards. It could not fully shoot a 1-inch brad through the pine board into the backing materials. I had to finish each brad by hand with a hammer and nail set.
Now the real reason to avoid this fastener--it's a piece of junk. The unit failed after shooting the 19th brad. It was totally inoperable after less than 15 minutes of use. It's dead. It's going back to Lowe's for a cash refund.
