Bostitch Pneumatic18 Gauge Brad Nailer Model # BT1855

I just received my Bostitch Pneumatic Brad Nailer. My wife bought me this from Sears with her Sears points that she had been saving up. Original price was $109.00 but she got it on a Pre-Black Friday deal for $55.00. It is a factory reconditioned model but it looks as if it was never used.

For the longest time I have need one of these when building my projects. I have always used a Hammer and brad nail to nail pieces together. I also used a drill with a very small bit to pre-drill the holes. Anyone that does this knows how much of a pain it can be. Where as with the Brad Nailer it is much easier and extremely quick.

I will get many years of use from this tool. I have quite a few projects that I plan on doing once my shoulder is fully healed from my surgery.

I will give an update with another post after I am able to use this. I look forward to hearing
