While I don't use this tool all day every day like a finish carpenter might, there are several things about this gun that make it perfect for my fine woodworking use. Everything about this gun seems to help you make a tight, clean fastening whether on the bench or upside-down-inside a cabinet. Oil-less operation means no oil blown on a fine veneer that would foil a finish. The tools light weight belies the precisely controlled power available. Exact fastener depth control means no blow through, no hand setting - leaving the minimum hole to deal with for finish. The steep angle of the magazine allows difficult corners to be fastened easily. It is possible to save by buying a different brand. However, if you get paid for your labor and you plan on using this tool longer than 6 months I suggest that this is the most economical gun on the market.
