I've been looking into maybe getting one and wanted to know if anyone has used one?
I would use it for light indoor remodeling.
For instance, I have a drop ceiling that I have to install this next week. It would be nice to not have to haul a compressor and hose around inorder to use a nail gun.

I have one. I used it when I bought my place to install moulding down below and up above. in the whole place.
I bought 2 extra batteries. (Which I never used) It was great.
Not heavy, easy to throw around, fast, and if I remember correctly.....battery took 4 hours to charge but lasted longer than the box of nails and the fuel cell. (1000).

They are great for framing. I am not sure how you are going to use it to install a drop ceiling?

I had one years ago, IMO it went through those fuel cells too quick with heavy use (sheeting a roof) but I think it'd be perfect for your application.
This was a long time ago, too, so they may have improved.

I have the Paslode framing nailer and it works great smaller jobs. Beats dragging out a compressor and hose. Probably not the best option for nailing off a whole house of wall or roof sheathing.
Also, no bump fire. You have to compress the nose then pull the trigger, for it to fire.

Really? You used a framing nailer to install trim (molding)?

You're right, I forgot about that. PITA in a lot of circumstances.

Also the nose piece is substantially harder to compress that a typical nailer because it's not just a safety device. It's actually charging the cylinder with fuel too.

I just got back from trying to buy one off craigslist. the lady paid to much for it new and is wanting to much for it now. Ebay has 20+ listings for under $175, she wouldn't budge off her asking price of 2fiddy.
I think it should work fine for what I would use it for. I have a bunch of finish guns, compressors and lines. I am just tired of hauling all of it around and listening to the damn compressor running when I use a gun.
Wanna sell yours Todd?

Nope. It's even better using on from the chair. Air hoses + WC = PITA

Woooohoooo............................. I won one on Ebay for $127.50!
So if I defeat the safety and put it behind the car seat. What's the velocity, range, rate of fire and nail weight?
