   I've seen them advertised, but don't have any hands on experience with Grip Rite tools. The biggest question is about the nails. Do they use proprietary nails or generic. If proprietary, a free gun might not be a bargain.

   Where abouts in KY?

   The nails are generic.  They rebrand the generic with grip rite brand.  i always wondered who makes their nailors.

   "where in KY"

   I live about 10 miles west of Paducah.

   What I gather from the responses is that someone manufactures these guns for Grip-Rite and they are of tolerable quality for an occasional user. Zat right?

   Thanks for the responses, everyone

   Actually we would use the nails, but nobody has posted has used the guns, at least not yet.

   yeh, but their nails are what is sold around here in PRO brand, which is an off brand that works well!

   See, you friend google tells you all kinds of things.

   I guess we are both out of the running on the march madness.

   bought a grip rite 2inch brad nailer about 4 years ago. still going strong. uses any normal 18ga brad. has a somewhat odd trigger, but it was a good deal for me at the time. have since upgraded, but the grip rite lives and works for me at work.
