I am thinking about buying Grex P635

[DANIELKARL]

I was looking at a Grex P635. I was wondering how well they worked and mostly how the depth could be adjusted.  So if you have one tell me how you like it, how the depth is adjusted, and whatever, in addition to it being a really cool color.
Thanks, Dan

I have this one...love it...you adjust the depth with your air regulator...very nice and easy to use.

I have one. It is very good. As far as the depth goes - no adjustment on the tool. Changing pressure will do it, but I have found that it pretty much takes care of itself.  I have used it on a variety of woods and never found a need to try adjusting the depth.

I have the 650L . I love it . Have it for about 3 yrs now , works great every time . Grex makes a great gun not just for it color but it helps . On the 650L the adjustment is auto .

I have the P635 as well and it is a great little pinner.  No depth adjustment as others have indicated and don't see the need for it.  Have had it for over 3 years with no problems at all.

I have the 635 also.  Have had it for about 2 years without a problem.  Being a hobbyist I may not use it as much as the others.

I have used it with my regular compressor as well as my Jac-Pac.

The only issue I have had is with the trigger and safety.  I have large hands and the configuration is quite tight.  It took a bit of a learning curve to get the hang of it.

A lot of coin!

While I don't need it often it works great when I need it.  I have a c02 bottle setup with regulator and it works great and you can barely see the pin holes.  I use it mostly to pin in wooden srrips in glass panels to hold the glass in.

I have the 650, and think it is awesome!

I have used it to hang crown molding in my house.  it works quite well, and when those 23ga pins are shot at opposite angles, there is incredible holding power.  I also pre-paint my moldings, so I like having teeny-tiny holes to patch and paint.

Decided on the P635. Just did not seen the need for the full 2 inches for the additional 100 bucks. So far I love it.

 

[mwhafner]

That is probably the best choice.  The 2" pins are great in certain applications and in softer woods, but not something that you need very often (or maybe never).

Oops, I have the 635. Who can keep track of all this?

 

[Theshipstore]

have a 635 and loved it so much went out and bought a 650 for the longer length pins....

Well rarley use the longer ones except for pinning stiles and rails on cabinet door assemblies

Both are awesome to use for sure....work great for my cabinet making applications

I have the Grex 645. Shoots pins up to 1 3/4". Grex makes really nice guns. I have their compressor too. Both excellent.

Hi Craftsman 11,

Welcome to the FOG !  [smile]

I have the 635. Do you guys that use the longer pins have trouble with them deflecting?

I've found that it depends on the type of wood and what grain direction going into -- those are some mighty thin pins not to be affected by grain direction.  Most of the time it's not a problem although with the 23ga. I'm usually using
