Anyone have any thoughts on this deal for occasional use around the house? Is it worth buying or will this take up space?
I'd say get the metabo for $39 when on sale at lowes, those things are bullet proof.
I just recently got the metabo 15 guage and the 18 guage and couldn't be happier. The battery powered ones are just too heavy to use for me and 4-5x the price.
Having to pull out the compressor sucks, but it's nice having the lighter tool when doing trim work or hanging a door etc.
For comparison, Harbor Freight has an 18 gauge nailer plus stapler for $30 every day without coupons.
HFT model has way more reviews and I'd actually prefer their warranty/return policy - if you get a dud or your nail gun breaks after a few uses, just bring it back to the store and grab a new one.
Porter Cable is a low-mid tier brand anyways and I can't see their reputation or quality setting them apart unless this is a particularly coveted tool.

As others mentioned, I bought the harbor freight one for $30 (every day price) and it worked great on the one project I needed it for. This is a fine price but it's not a deal.
I have both a Porter cable model and a Harbor Freight model. No comparison! Porter Cable is much better. Seems a great deal for me. Been a great and much used tool since I got in 2003. Only had the HF one for about a year. I hope that helps.
I have had the PC pneumatic 18g brad and 16g nailer for many years, and never a problem, ever. I also have a PC compressor that works like a champ. Not sure how the quality is these days

Me too. Got them with a pancake compressor here on SD's in Feb 2006. Compressor, Stapler, Brad and finish nail gun $139 on Amazon (I checked my files). Great tools.
Good point about the quality - may be very different from 18 years ago!
