Amazon.com Review
Porter-Cable never disappoints, especially with their air tools. Here's a great nailer for the contractor or do-it-yourselfer in the Southeast, Gulf Coast and Western regions with its 22-degree plastic collated round head framing nails from 2 to 3-1/2 inches long. We like the new rounded body style on the nailer, which Porter-Cable says has doubled the tool's life, and we can tell you it feels right in the hand. It's still packing plenty of power, even though it's more compact. As always, we're fond of its tool-free adjustable exhaust, tool-free adjustable depth of drive with detents, and an internal piston catch for consistent power. The triggers can be set to restrictive or contact mode, so you've got complete control over nail release. -- Kris Jensen-Van Heste

5 out of 5 stars Great Tool   July 11, 2008

This is an excellent tool with good weight proportion. It handles many size nails and has a easy trigger. I am an acupuncturist in Broomfield Colorado who formally built furniture and Homes in Colorado. [...]


1 out of 5 stars Porter Cable?   June 25, 2008

Surely Porter Cable did NOT make this! Brand NEW out of the box and it would not drive 3" nails? Bought mine on sale at Home Depot and fortunately they allowed me to return it. I have used nailers over 15 years and could not believe this. Shame on you Porter Cable for advertising this gun will shoot 3 1/2" nails and it would NOT drive 3" nails. This is not the Porter Cable I used to know. Buyer beware, this gun is not as advertised. The telling end was my offer to the store manager was that I would buy 2 if he could get it or another new one out of the box to drive 3" nails. He would not accept the offer, stating some things may be over stated on their (Porter Cable)labels. My prayer is that potential buyers read this BEFORE purchase and someone, anyone from PC also read this...shame on you PC

I was worried when I ordered this nail gun because it was so much cheaper then local retailers. The first time I used the gun I knew I had made a great purchase. It's just as good as my old Porter-Cable nail gun, but actually seems to jam less. The FR350A has an additional safety that prevents double fires that took a little getting used to. The additional safety can be turned off, but the extra safety is really nice when you're toe-nailing or any other funny angles. It also loads directly from the rear which took a little getting used to. I can't tell you how many sweaty afternoons I tried to stick the nails in the top when I was switching back and forth between guns, but once you get used to it, I believe the rear loading is faster.

i've had this gun for 4 yrs and running. driven untold boxes of nails through it. dropped it. the metal magazine is solid, the loading mechanism fast and stout, the depth adjustment straight forward and rugged. but the true beauty is the trigger which allows single shot or bounce with the turn of this little dial. so nice. year ago the main gasket went, but the rebuilt kit and 1/2hr and she's good.
