Contact trip. Fastener range: 2″ – 3-1/2″, 6d – 16d. Anodized extruded aluminum magazine. Adjustable fastener depth control. Narrow nose for accurate fastener placement. Anti-laddering control. Multi-directional exhaust.Popular among house framers, Bostitch’s framing stick nailer offers solid, no-fuss, reliable performance. With its tough aluminum housing and extruded aluminum magazine, this nailer is a sturdy piece of equipment, designed to hold up to falls and the inevitable beating tools take on a framing crew. The nosepiece’s teeth aggressively grip lumber for toe-nailing. The adjustable depth control makes it easy to adjust the countersink with the gun, instead of the compressor. The nailer’s deflector conveniently directs exhaust away from the user. We were impressed with how solid this Bostitch unit feels–it definitely has the burliness of an industrial-strength tool. But with its burly nature comes a bit of extra weight–always something to consider. The tool weighs just over … more >>

I am a framer who used to use all Senco. Then I switched to Paslode, but they were to high maintenance and we had to much down time on the job. Hitachi was next because some of the guys had them. I tossed them within 6 months, they just couldn’t hold up around the jobsite. Their magazines kept bending and caused the nails to get jammed in the magazine. I’ve been using Stanley-Bostitch framers and staplers since 1996 and have never had any problems whatsoever. They are the lightest and most powerful tools that I have ever used. Something can be said about using tools everyday for four years and not ever having to have them serviced. Buy Bostitch and you will never be sorry.

At this price this is a great tool. Everone brags about senco, hithachi ,makita. These tools do the exact same thing. I will say that this instrument at least in my neck of the woods is a top seller and favorite amongst all construction people. It is well built it may not be the lightest but so what at around 10 pounds most tough guys can hold it. High quality, very trouble free , easy to find nails . At this price you can buy one of its competitors nail magazines which by the way are the most frequently damaged part. Im telling you its tough.

The Bostitch N80SB is a great tool. It is heavier than some of it’s competitors, but is a basically maintenance free tool if it is oiled properly. The tool drives a variety of fasteners in all types of wood with ease. This tool has been in Bostitch’s stable for a long time and is being discontinued soon. But believe me, it’s not because this tool has any downfalls. As for any double-firing. Many of these instances are human error. If a person is trying to positive place a nail with a nailer with a contact trip trigger, more than likely when you depress the contact trip and then pull the trigger the tool will fire twice because of the recoil and the user not removing their finger from the trigger fast enough. If you are using a nailer for positive placement of the nail, always use a nailer with a sequintial trip trigger. This will eliminate double firing. However, with a sequintial trip trigger, the user will not be able to hold the trigger in the fire position and bump fire the tool by bumping the contact trip against the work surface. Take your pick of what trigger best works for you.

The Bostich N80 SB was the first pneumatic nailer I purchased. I have tried some other brands and there is not a better tool available anywhere! Most do not even come close to this one. This nailer functions flawlessly whether hot or cold, wet or dry, clean or dirty. It functions well within a wide range of pressures and setting depth is easy to adjustI have framed hundreds of feet of walls, nailed down hundreds of sheets of plywood and countless rafters, headers, etc. The only time it malfuctioned in any way was when I used some old dirty, rusty nails that were kicking around in my van to finish out the day. Even with those garbage nails, I had only two or three misfires due to the nails sticking in the magazine. For a period of about a week, one of my employees didn’t know he should oil the thing and still it kept on plugging faithfully. (I do not recommend using the tool without oil).If you are looking for a dependable, rugged, inexpensive framing nailer, this one simply can’t be beat. You will not regret buying it.

I am a framing contractor in the northeast. I have been using Bostitch N80 nail guns for the last 15 years. From 90 degree temps in the summer to zero degrees in the winter, they always work. I have a total of 22 Bostitch guns, some being as old as 15 years. The framing nailers I get at least 5 years of day after day service. The most common break down is either lack of oil or breakage from the guns being dropped. (they have to really be dropped from high up onto a hard surface such as a concrete slab) All of the production framers in this area use Bostitch, the best of the best. Thank you Stanley for making a product that enables us contractors to make our living with a minimum amount of headaches.
