FR350MAG Framing Nailer Review

This framing nailer from Porter-Cable is lightweight but powerful

By Rick Arnold, Mike Guertin

This is a light but powerful stick nailer. Depth is adjusted with an Allen screw, and an on-board wrench is provided. For clearing jams the magazine pops back to expose the inside edge of the nose. Learning how to do this with ease takes practice. This tool was among the nailers we tested with the lowest kickback.
