- Best Porter Cable Brad Nailer Deals
I have no idea what you would do with normal mode as the nails would not set for me. The Porter cable nailer is a little smaller as well but in all fairness is limited to 2" as compared to Senco 2 1/8" brads. I say this because I also have a Senco brad nailer FP25XP and the case size is huge in comparison. Can't say enough about it. My company owns 2 of these brad nailers and we really like using them. I have an old air compressor so I was a little concerned about enough pressure but this nailer works great around 90 psi or even less. The BN 200A is a no nonsense brad nailer that works. If you're into DIY you gotta have this brad nailer. This is actually my first nailer and probably my last. At this point my choice for my next purchase would be the Porter Cable BN 200A. It's very well made (looks and feels like a pro contractor model) and comes with enough brad nails for your first project and more. This unit was well thought out even down to the nice compact case it comes in that so nicely holds a full box of brad nails. In comparison with the Senco FP25XP the performance seems comperable with the Senco in "Turbo" mode (switch is on the side of gun). I can't comment on how easy it is to clear jams because I simply haven't had one yet and I've driven over 1000 nails to this point. I priced around at all the local home improvement stores and Amazon had the best price. I've used it to do repairs and for some of my own creations as well. I've used it for trim, paneling, OSB subflooring, window casings, etc.
