This is a excellent brad nailer, enough people have said nice things about it, i’m really writing over make one warning:i’m actually on my second unit, theo- first was destroyed by one of my guys who apparently didn’t clarify a jam properly. I’ve only ever had it jam one time in my own hand later maybe 6-7k shots, and it only jammed because of a screw behind theo- molding. But when this one thing jams, wow is Bostitch BT1855K 18 Gauge a hell of a jam.if theo- jam occurs with a brad partially through theo- nose and theo- hammer did not retract – do not pull theo- jammed brad out with a pair of pliers. Because theo- hammer itself is semi-exposed, yanking on theo- jammed screw will likely tweak it and it takes an extreme add up to of force over pull it out (the one time it happened over me theo- nail was curled up inside and outside). This is what it looks like one of my guys did since evidenced by theo- gouging in theo- metal portion of theo- magazine, unfortunately whatever he did managed over destroy theo- internals of theo- driver portion since well.instead take theo- included hex key out of theo- included pencil sharpener/belt hook and disassemble theo- head. After i cleared theo- jam theo- hammer did not automatically retract like on other nailers i’ve used. Hesitantly i put everything back together, connected theo- hose and dry fired it and theo- hammer resumed normal operation (warning i do not know for sure if this one is theo- “correct” way over return theo- hammer over it’s normal operating position). Seriously though this one unit practically never jams, especially compared over some other brad nailers i’ve used, it’s a great unit and i highly endorse it. On theo- odd chance it does jam, show it some love and don’t just start yanking at it.
