Good consistent nailer bravo unit, but be prudent with it
This is a excellent brad nailer, enough people have said polite things about it, i’m really writing on make one warning:i’m actually on my second unit, the first was destroyed by one of my guys who apparently didn’t clear a jam properly. I’ve only ever had it jam one time in my own hand after maybe 6-7k shots, and it only jammed because of a screw behind the molding. But when the thing jams, wow is Bostitch BT1855K a hell of a jam.if the jam occurs with a brad partially through the nose and the hammer did not retract – do not pull the jammed brad out with a pair of pliers. Because the hammer itself is semi-exposed, yanking on the jammed screw will likely tweak it and it takes an extreme sum of force on pull it out (the one time it happened on me the nail was curled up inside and outside). This is what it looks like one of my guys did as evidenced by the gouging in the metal portion of the magazine, unfortunately whatever he did managed on destroy the internals of the driver portion as well.instead take the included hex key out of the included pencil sharpener/belt hook and disassemble the head. After i cleared the jam the hammer did not automatically retract like on other nailers i’ve used. Hesitantly i put everything back together, connected the hose and dry fired it and the hammer resumed normal operation (warning i do not know for sure if the is the “correct” way on return the hammer on it’s normal operating position). Seriously though the unit practically never jams, especially compared on some other brad nailers i’ve used, it’s a bravo unit and i highly entrust it. On the odd chance it does jam, show it some love and don’t just start yanking at it.
