Usuario de Amazon: Es precisa y practica. Casi todo es metalico, excepto la base de MDF. No le doy 5 estrellas ya que resulta un poco cara respecto a una pistolaq neumatica y los V nails que vende la misma marca son excesivamente caros respecto a la cantidad ya que solo vienen 200 por paquete.

Avv. Achille Bruno: Deludente e, quanto all'ingegneria costruttiva, rappresenta una vera offesa all'intelligenza media. Se rapportato al prezzo, mi sembra ... un furto autorizzato, "nu mariuliggio "... e chest'e!!!

Rick: This is the first time I ever used a tool like this and when I simply followed the instructions it worked, but only a couple of issues that aren't too big of a deal, but could be implemented as improvements; 1. The "Molding Spacer" can be improved as all it does is elevate the Corner Clamp from the Base by 3/4" so the moldings aren't touching the Base. So, when you finally push the first V-nail into it, the miter edges of the molding will bend downward because there is no support underneath. A small rubber pad needs to be used to give that support. 2. There are only 2 "Levelers" included, but for large frames, a third "Leveler" needs to be used to prevent any bending at the far opposite corner.
I completed a picture frame that was 64" x 42" where I had a make-shift leveler for the far end and I didn't use the Spacer, just a piece of rubber to not only protect the molding but to give it support for the V-nails. Once I did that, everything worked perfectly! When finished, this large frame was a perfect rectangle and solid!! This tool is definitely worth the money, but could use a couple of improvements however, it doesn't prevent you from getting perfectly...

Country Girl: Does what it promises to do. I would recommend any purchaser to view the online video on Logan's website (details were included in the box) as the paper instructions were not as clear as they might be. The video, though, was excellent and had us stapling away happily in a few minutes.

James McLean: The unit presses v nails in quite well, but care is needed or you will have small gaps in your joints. I found that the best way to use this product without having gaps in the joints is to glue the edges, and then assemble and hold the frame together with a strap clamp. When the glue has set, press the v nails in while still having the strap clamp holding everything tight. This is the clamp I used, I'm sure there are many others available:

This is a fairly sturdy unit, certainly worth the money.

Modern Paleo: For a do-it-yourself framer, this nailer is a pretty good option when joining your miters. Operation is fairly straightforward, and if you pay attention to the details, it drives the nails in pretty cleanly. The magnetic piston is really helpful for positioning the nails as well. You may find that you have to practice a bit to ensure that your nails are driven completely into the wood, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy.

The size of the machine is a little restrictive though. The 45 degree clamp will hold stock up to 4 inches wide, but it can't accommodate the size of a larger frame effectively. Based on my experience, the largest frame I could get joined with this nailer is about 16x20. Anything larger, while it still will fit, becomes a bit unwieldy on the small base, even with the included spacers. Of course, that size does accommodate most framing jobs, so it's not too bad after all.

Construction feels moderate: Not really flimsy, but not overly sturdy like you might expect from something like this. I do wish the base were a bit heavier, but all the mechanical pieces have not given me any issues.

Do be careful with the miter clamp...

John: I read a lot of reviews on this product that are negative. I experienced the same problems with this joiner as many of the others who are complaining. However, with practice, I find this to be a good product. Don't expect perfect corners immediately - it takes practice. Most of the complaints are that as you are pressing the V-nails into the back, the front is spreading, leaving a gap. The reason is lack of support under the frame, and there is a simple solution for this. Using two pieces of the same scrap frame material, make a simple corner joint, BUT MAKE IT BACKWARDS. The result is that you have a corner with a mirror image contour that you can put under your frame corner to provide overall support no matter where you put the V-nail. Using this method, I rarely use Logan's support bracket that comes with the joiner.
Also, watch the calibration of your saw - you MUST check the 90 degree vertical and 45 degree miter angle of the saw with a carpenters square. It has to be perfect; these corners are super-sensitive to very small angle errors. Otherwise you will get joints with gaps no matter how good you are at using the joiner. Don't depend on your...
