   Toolcrib sells them. Borrowed one once. Had to nail up some maple baseboard. Wasnt to happy being asked to drive a nail into that hard stuff. Also a 'hurry up and wait' fireing lag time (there is a flywheel that comes up to speed and then releases a string attatched to the drive pin). A buddy who fixes tools for living says that when guys dry fire the gun to show it off they can stretch the string and then it wont sink the nails. Not an everyday tool. Good for the occasional punch list/odd job.

   I have the 25 in 18ga. and it is great for stuff like shoemould, etc. or small trim. The 41 seems a little awkward and large to me. I agree they are fine for punch list work, but not for heavy use. They are also not fast on the recycle.

   We have both the Senco 41 and the Paslode 900600 cordless

   nailers and I would say both are surprisingly good. The Senco

   does have that funny delay/charge time, but I have found it

   sinks nails as well as our Senco air nailers. Plus it's reasonably

   well balanced. Given the choice, I'd probably go with the

   Paslode (it's a little smaller and more maneuverable), but

   for situations where you don't want to pull a hose (or heft ####compressor), I'd say these both work very well.

   Great for punch out. Wouldn't use it to do a big job. Excellent when you have to go in to pull casing and  adjust a door or just go upstairs to shoe a bath.

   I have the 41 and agree with most everything that was said above.  I chose it over the Pasload because I prefer the 15 ga nails, plus, it costs less each time you pull the trigger, and no gas to mess around with.  The pre nail lag time is the only thing that's hard to get used to.   With the paslode, you can be setting up your next shot while the gun cycles.  I've had the 41 close to a year, and so far, so good.Matt

   I have the airfree 41 and it works great. I am on my 3rd one since they keep breaking but I still love it. Right now senco has a recall on them that if they break before the end of the year they will exchange them for a new set. The second it takes for the motor to get up to full rpm will go away if you fire closer together since the motor wont have time to slow down but this is alot better then dragging around an airhose for little jobs.
