Porter-Cable PN650 Palm Nailer Kit

Porter-Cable's palm nailer is growing in popularity among both woodworkers and contractors alike--and for good reason. At first glance, it doesn’t look like much of a powerhouse, but connect it to even a small compressor and you’re driving 6-inch nails no problem. Another great feature: you’re not restricted to one type of nail. Fatigue is minimal, thanks to its light weight (just 2-1/2 pounds!) and ergonomic design. The kit comes with a "no-mar" finish tip, a magnetic tip for driving 3d to 16d common nails, a standard tip for common nails up to 70d, and a steel hammer kit for moldings, dowels, and automotive body work. In hand, it’s super light, compact, and the leather glove makes it a pleasure to use, fitting into nearly any space your hand can get into. Of course, you do have to feed one nail at a time, but this tough little gun is going to drive nails in areas other nail guns would never fit.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

A complete package

The PN650 Palm Nailer Kit comes in a plastic case that has everything you need neatly packaged for use or storage. I like tool cases. Cases keep parts from getting lost, and tools from picking up excess dust and dirt while not being used. Nailers have small, interchangable parts that need safe storage. The PN650 does its job, and does it well. My first use for it was between deck joists and stair stringers where my framing nailer would not fit. Porter-Cable has a good reputation, and you won't go wrong with this kit.

What a great helper to have!

I thought I would add a recent review so that folks know this little guy is still fabulous. I have real wood siding and the nails tend to back out with the hot and cold, wet and dry expanding and contracting. I had many 10's of nails backed out 1 half inch or so. So this was a lifesaver - there is no way I could have done as good a job pushing so many existing nails back in with a hammer and nail set and not make a mess. Since the nails are set just below the surface level this really helped where the nail head was tilted or warped from the original nailing - a nailset would have been impossible. It's easy to control in terms of depth and quickly and easily put my old nails back where they belong.

Using it in new construction, I find that getting nails started straight takes a little practice. If the nail is not angled right, the tool makes short work of getting it driven in at the wrong angle. For precision work, starting the nail with a small hammer would help. A glove helps a lot to steady nails at the start. If you've got a lot of repetitive work (finish or framing, etc., an conventional nailer may be a better choice. But for occasional use, you can't be the price with this one.

It's also a bit noisy - like a giant woodpecker! But it's not louder than hammering nails conventionally, it's just a lot faster.

It's easy to hold and easy on the hands. I don't do a lot of work, and when I saw this I just had to have it, considering the price of finish and framing nailers. I've been really happy with it. It's perfect for the do-it-yourselfer.

From a Pro Contractor

I formerly had a Danair palm nailer and a Senco. The Senco had a leaky gasket that I had to tighten the bejeezus out of and it still leaked a little air. The Senco also came without any accessories. The Danair had a problem with the tip always coming loose. The padded leather grip was the nicest on the Danair. The Senco came bare metal. Without the leather grip it becomes very uncomfortable to use.
I use a Porter Cable now. I like that for the price it comes with several tips for different size nails. The leather grip is also standard. I have been using the Porter Cable for about two years now without a problem. I used it to nail 20d HD galvie commons . Using a hammer for such a large nail would likely leave a mark if you missed and all the heavy pounding would have been pretty tiring. I use the palm nailer for nailing tile backer, joist hangers, nailing in tight spots and for spikes. Changing tips is easy with the wrench supplied.
I only rated it four stars because the magnetic tip lost it's magnetism early on so now I have to hold every nail to start it. This palm nailer is the best value out there. It has held up to lots of abuse so far.

Customer Review:

Works Great

Everything just as I was expecting. Easy to put together.
Weed trimmer works great, even on thick grass, just a little slower and it works better for edging than my old gas trimmer. Would have been 5 stars except it takes 2 full batteries to do a typical "larger" front and back family yard. having 3 batteries was a BIG selling point for me, as I can do Edging one day, then blow away the trimmings and Hedge the next day.
Blower works good, not as powerfull as our electric, but adequate for the job.
Hedge trimmer works very well and 1 battery lasts long enough to complete all the hedges in front of the house.
For the $ you can't beat this set. Very Light and Easy to handle everything. My only complaint is the lack of battery run time with weed trimmer and also the blower.
I think as long as I don't let the yard work go too long, battery run time will work OK.

Great item

These tools are fantastic. I agree that they aren't the most powerful items on the planet, but they get the job done. They pack a good punch with a fully charged battery, and since there are 3 batteries, I haven't had to worry about running out of charge. The blower is strong enough for driveway sweeping, but I don't see it being very effective for whole yeard cleaning. The string trimmer is the main reason I bought this, and it hasn't let me down. The automatic feeder is great, no moure bouncing and prying to get the line fed correctly. And it has cut through everything I've put in front of it. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone.

FINALLY...BETTER THAN EXPECTED

We ordered the 18 volt Lawncare Center with some trepidation. WE've had good luck with the bigger Black & Decker cordless gear, like the mulching mower but - even with a relatively small yard, the smaller stuff didn't ast long...but...we took a shot. What a treat. First of all, the install...common sense, straight ahead and logical. The battery station and tool hangers go right up, very neat,thank you and on the wall and out of the way. Amazingly convenient...as is having three batteries on hand at any time. Sring Trimmer, Hedge Trimmer and Broom all more than enough power. ergonomically on target and get the job done...and at a bargain price. The CCC3000 now joins our Black and Decker 24 Volt lawnmower as an indispensible part of yard care.
