To be honest, we looked twice at the price, certain the folks at Amazon had made a mistake. But sure enough, they're right--and so is the price. Porter-Cable makes some of the best pneumatic tools in the industry, and these nailers are two prime examples. The 16-gauge is sturdy, compact, lighter and quieter than you'd expect with a grip even smaller hands can get around. Great balance, easy depth-of-drive adjustment, and a pleasure to use. Similarly, the 18-gauge is light but rugged, comfortable and maneuverable, even in awkward places or after long runs. Some other features we like: a special hardened driver blade, a sequential fire trigger, a visual reload indicator, a safety located behind the driver guide for driving brads in tight spaces and an easy-to-adjust depth guide. Both guns have directional exhausts, too. The pancake-style compressor has a six-gallon tank and easily runs both guns at the same time. It's light, portable and doesn't want much from you in terms of maintenance--it's oil-free and Teflon-coated. Some other reasons to like it: a high-flow regulator, an easy-to-read air pressure gauge, automatic thermal overload protection, an industrial-style quick-connect body in the air outlet, and a long-life motor with replaceable brushes. We can't imagine this deal will be around forever.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Poor customer service I bought this kit since it seemed to be a good deal on all the air tools I needed for finish nailing (except a pin nailer). No complaints about the guns, but the compressor didn't work from day one, even though I followed PC's "break-in" instructions; there seemed to be a leak somewhere internally, as it never got past about 50 psi. I called PC's customer service number repeatedly over a three day period and spent hours upon hours on hold with the call never being picked up. In the end, I trashed the... more info
Nice nut loud Nice compressor and nail guns however it is kind of loud. I have never had a problem with any of it since I bought it 4 years ago.
Great Tool I used this compressor last year to put the wood floors down in my house. All I can say is it's easy to work, and it made what could be a tough job easy. It was also used to put up all kind of moldings and did it quickly, and neatly. The reason it got 4 stars is because like others have stated, it's loud. My wife and the pets hate it. I on the other hand, love it.
Great Set I've owned this set for about 6 months and have used the nailers regularly. I even added the framing nailer to the set all have performed flawlessly to this point. Great deal for the money.
