Tools and Hardware Reviews of Arrow Fastener Co. ET100 Heavy Duty Electric Nail Gun
Customer Review: a nice idea, but.....
Summary: 3 Stars
i bought this tool for small jobs, so i didn't have to lug around a compressor, hoses and brad nailer just for 5-20 minutes of work. one thing i like about it is the nails come pre-painted brown or white, so, in some cases, you don't have to fill the nail holes with putty.
ok, now the bad things. first, it doesn't sink the nails. i thought at first it was just the oak i was using, but then i tried it in pine and it still didn't sink the nails. i , occassionally, can force the brad nailer to sink the nails if i firmly hold it with both hands and put all my weight on the nailer, but doing this overrides the no-marr tip and the firing mechanism leaves a dent on the work. second, it doesn't get into corners and the safety will only let it fire if the nailer is perpendicular to the work, so you still have to hand nail to finish the job. third, it has a very, very short cord; i think it's about 10." you need an extension cord, even if there is an outlet 2' away from the work area. arrow has since introduced a newer version of this "brad nailer" that has fixed most of the problems this unit has: longer, 10' cord, sinks the nails, drives up to 1 1/4", etc....
i gave it 3 stars because it's still easier to use this tool to set nails and drive them home with a hammer, than it is to drag out the compressor, etc. it's a light-duty tool only and should only be expected to acheive light-duty results.
