Excellent nailer Works perfectly,
I just installed 4500 square feet of 3/4″ thick hickory with this and did not have a single jam. I used app 16,000 nails on this job and consider this excellent. The handle on this nailer is taller than most nailers and more comfortable to use. The magazine holds 100 nails and is very quick to load.
This is much faster to use than the other Porta nails manual nailer that I own. I will never go back to the manual version.
One note this model is the updated 470A model and not the 470 as advertised. The 470A has a better mallet and the taller handle than the 470.
This sank most nails perfectly and I only had the set a few with the punch. I used several boxes of the T nails and the L nails. I prefer the T nails as they were easier to set with the punch if you had one that did not fully seat. The L nails almost always bent over when set with the punch. I only had the set about 20 or 30 with the punch out of 16,000 and consider that acceptable.

|Used for my new prefinished floors,
I purchased this to install pre-finished hardwood and finaly ended up hiring men to do it. They used this nailer and nothing else from all the equipement I purchased as they were fully equiped themselves. I heard no negative comments during installation and for certain they would have said something.

|Solid performer so far,
The original Portamatic clogged up after about a year of use. The 470 requires oiling which should eliminate that problem. Reason to use the Porta-Nails products is the nail design.
