I've got two PC guns; one's a coil roofer and the other a narrow crown stapler. The stapler has been OK (haven't actually used it a whole lot), but the roofer seems a little light duty and is really prone to double-fire and jams more often than I'd like.
While I have an assortment of other PC power tools that I'm happy with, it's my impression that they've gotten into this pneumatic market with less than top of the line tools at a price competitive with the other 'less-than-the-best.'
If you're only going to use them on occasion or for a couple of projects, they're probably fine, but if you're wanting them to perform well for a long time, spend more money on Senco or Hitachi. All my Senco guns are several years old, get moderately heavy use and are still in good shape.
