    Asked by Tony August 16, 2020

    This guns are of very low quality when build. You just must buy other brand name. I have a lot of issues with Porter-cable products.Trash the gun out wil save you a lot of aggravations.

    how do I liad 2" nails I tried and they don't fit

    Asked by PapaJack August 8, 2020
    1
    Answer

    Hello PapaJack, there is a T-shaped opening at the rear of the magazine and that is where you will insert the finish nails. There is a pusher (lever) on the left side of the magazine, pull it all the way to the rear of the magazine and release. The spring loaded pusher will move the nails forward into firing position. Manual instructions: Insert fasteners into the rear of the magazine (E). 3. Pull pusher (G) back until the nail follower falls behind the nails

    Answer

    I’m fortunate to have a great pneumatic tool repair and parts business within an hour, but PartsDirect, eReplacementparts, partswarehouse, and similar large vendors on the internet have good reputations for selection, turnaround time, and shipping. Good luck in your home shop!

    Can this be used for fences?

    Asked by Antman April 1, 2020
    5
    Answers

    This nailer would be good for attaching TRIM elements to a fence structure, but for the fence itself, you’d need a “framing nailer” with collated nails between 2-3.5-inch in length to attach 2x4s to 4x4 or 6x6 posts i.e. structural elements of the fence.

    Asked by Brian March 6, 2019

    Answers

    I bought a Porter Cable FN250C a few days ago and have used it extensively since on a wood feature wall project. I replaced a FN250B that I basically wore out over many years of use. My decision was pretty much the price point compared to other similar nailers, plus my good past experience with Porter Cable "tools". I certainly think you can't go wrong with the FN250C! If your nails are 16 gauge between 1" and 2 1/2" they should work in the 250C.

    I used this gun to secure oak stair treads to the sub floor and it worked beautifully! You could barely see the nail holes. This is the only job I have used it for.

    Bad quality - have had 2 break after very little usage
    September 28, 2020
    I have bought 2 of these from Home Depot and both failed after a short usage period. The first one came bundled as a set with an air compressor and an 18ga nailer. I only used the 18ga nailer at first. 3 1/2 years later, I went to use this 16ga one for some trim work and it failed after shooting about 40-50 nails. It would only blow air when pressing the trigger. Not knowing better, I took the loss and threw it away figuring that I got unlucky getting a dud. I did not bother with the warranty as this was past the 3 year warranty. I made the mistake of buying a second identical replacement. It worked fine for what I was doing, and then I stored it away. A year and a half or so later, I grabbed the nailer for some crown molding work and the same thing happened again. After a few nails, only air would hiss from the trigger. I searched on the web and this seems to be a common occurrence. Either I am the luckiest man in the world to pick 2 duds, or this nailer is just bad quality. I can buy a repair trigger only for about $17 but I am not sure it is worth the risk so I might just toss it. This is definitely my last Porter Cable purchase. So buy at your own risk...

    We Are Jammin’
    September 2, 2020
    It seemed like a great purchase initially as it worked well for my first small project but then it started jamming after about one band of nails. Just trying to nail some lightweight barn wood and it jammed. From there on it would nail several times and jam again. I was using Porter Gable nails, proper air pressure? I’m frustrated and going to return it.

    August 26, 2020
    I bought several sets of Porter Cable Air Compressors and nail guns. The first set was stolen, so I replaced it. This nail gun out of the second set worked well. Several days ago while using it, it fell about four feet, not very hard, and now it won't function. A rebuild kit was $55 and a new gun was $129, so I bought a new gun. Could not justify trying to fix the old one and spending almost half of the cost of a new one. Have not used the new one yet. Only gave it four stars because that fall should not have killed the old one. I have about as dozen guns and have used some for forty years. Good gun, just not tough enough for construction.

    Every 4 to 5 nails something jams. Terrible purchase. “No oil required” may be part of the problem. Buyer beware.
