Customer Review: Buy NEW, Not Refurbished!
Summary: 5 Stars
Buy the PC FC350, but do not buy the factory-refurbished one.
I bought Amazon's refurbished FC350 nailer. Right out of the box it was jumping and kicking and double-firing like a cowboy doing target practice from the back of a bucking bronco. It was scary to use. The erratic monster had powerful kickback, and would jump off the 2x4, and fire another nail at some random nearby location. It did tricks: no nail, 2 nails, half way in. The refurbished FC350 was a sort of Russian-roulette nail gun: a seriously dangerous, out-of-control weapon. On the plus side, I saved 50 bucks.
A few wild and breathless minutes later, I was on my way to Home Depot. I picked up a new FC350A. I disconnected the air hose from the pogo stick of death, and hooked it onto the new nailer. Wow. Night and Day. The shrink-wrapped FC350A is a predictable, powerful, precise dream nailer. It does its job exactly as it should: it loads easily and fires surely. No kickback, one nail at a time if so desired.
The FC350 deserves all the praise it gets here on Amazon. The FC350A is even better, with a redesigned load mechanism and a trigger you can set to single/multi shot. But buy it new, and NOT refurbished.
