I've got the Bostitch and have no complaints.

I have always used Danair palm nailers. They have been making them since the late sixties and they are still 100% American made. Solid and dependable. Have a look at danairinc.com.
I noticed that senco has a new model out. Very small, half the size of the bostitch.
I will sell you my bostitch for 65 bucks. I used it very little, one time infact to mount some hangers in a really tight space to reinforce an entry foyer floor.
it is the nailer only I don't have the kit. Will pay to ship to continental US. I had it on ebay but no takers. I just don't use it that much.

I've had a Senco A20 for years. I don't use it every day, but at times it is the only tool for the job.
It is very powerful and will drive a #16 into LVL's in a flash.
I'd buy another one if I needed another palm nailer.
