Estwing pneumatic nailers?

[matemike]

Anyone given these a go yet?

I've been needing a 21 deg full round framing nailer but I've been waiting on the Porter Cable to go back to $149 at HD

Then stumbled across this:

Can't find any reviews other than a Tool Guyd Protool write up and the 5 reviews on HD site. Just wondering if anyone else has any real experience with it yet?

I think the name alone would be enough for me to buy if I needed one.

Sadly, to me, it looks more like they sold out.
Anyone know the COO?

Estwing has made hammers and axes for many years; I'd treat their entry into the pneumatic tool business like any other newcomer.

But is Estwing making them or licensing the name?

To me, it sounds like how Home Depot licenses the Ridgid name for power tools.

The brochure linked on the web page lists "prime global products" as being part of it so I'd venture a guess that all or most of that product comes from a far away land

Likely licensing.

Id pass and go right to the "Standard", the Hitachi NR90.
