23 gauge pin nailers

[jmarkflesher]

Any input on 23 gauge pin nailers. I'd like one to shoot 23 gauge headless pins and either slight head pins or brads. I'm looking at the Cadex CPB23.50, Grex P650L or a Nickle version. Any input from those using these or another brand would be appreciated. MARK

I have a Grex, can't complain at all really. I had to replace the drive pin once in 3 years but it gets lots of use. I see your from Flemington, I'm from there myself, I'm over in New Hope now though. Good luck in your search

Not one you listed but I have never had an issue with my Bostitch pinner

I have the Grex. I use it all the time. I'm very satisfied with it.

I have the Grex, the one that shoots 2" nails (650 ?). Love it, I figured if I'm paying this much for the gun I may as well get the largest one.
Havent ever used another brand on site. Played with the Bostich in the store but didn't like the safety trigger.

Get a Grex. I have run 60k pins through my 650 with no issues. I had the nikle for a while, I saw no advantage to slight headed pins.

I even have Grex's green buddy 18ga nail gun, best 18ga I have ever owned.

I have a Cadex...it's great.

Grex looks like a good choice. The Grex P650L only shoots 23 gauge 1/2" to 2" headless pins. Cadex CPB23.50 shots 23 gauge 1/2" to 2" headless pins and brads. Does it really shoot both well or are two separate guns better? THANKS MARK

Another vote for the Grex P650L--much better than the Porter Cable it replaced.  Good purchase experience with The Fastener Company which offers bundles with pins (no affiliation).

Bosch has a pinner now.Price is about $150.00
So far,good reviews.Might be worth to check it out.
I have the 18g stappler and have been happy with it.

i'm keen on the Bosch. i don't need a 23 too often. although a well made tool does appeal to me. i could look this up easily but where is grew made?

23 ga. Grex here also. I just got the 18ga. Grex Green Buddy. Well worth the price.

Have both Grex and Cadex. Prefer Grex for no particular reason..

My Grex 635 has done well for me.  Never saw a need for the 2" pins.
