The product has operated fine, except that the safety has to be just so. If you are doing some fine moulding it doesn't always fire. The package was missing one part that I wanted most and that was the cushion on the tip so it wouldn't damage your wood.
I bought it to do a basement finish and have subsequently used it for several furniture projects, finishing our son's new house, our daughter's closet cabinets and other jobs. We are in late stages of finishing our new home and we did most of the trim and some cabinet work ourselves. Update 1/9/2010: Add another house. After thousands of nails of varying lengths, I could probably count the number of misfires on one set of fingers. The gun is starting to look like a beat-up stock-car but still works fine.I have owned the earlier version of this nailer for about 9 years and it is a good machine. I looked at the owner's manual for the BN125A and it appears to be nearly identical to mine. The only wear seems to be a little less depth adjustment. I would buy another.
I have owned this tool for about 3 years. During this time I have used it to build furniture, install various sizes of trims and mouldings, and construct a number of craft projects.This is an exceptional tool, I have shot thousands of brad nails with it and it has never once jammed or failed to perform perfectly. If you have no need to shoot brad nails longer than 1.25", this nailer is perfect. Aside from this nailer I own several other Porter-Cable pneumatic nailers and have been very pleased with all of them.
I didn't want to spend alot to be disappointed again. Had bought a bargain nailer for doing trimwork around the house. I wasn't. It kept jamming and finally gavwe up the ghost. Price buyers are twice buyers. This nailer is smooth and easy to operate. Only drawback is the max length of the nails is 1 1/4".
PC's finish nailer and framing guns are rough and aggressive which makes it easy to damage your project. Brad nailers must be the easiest guns to manufacture because the rest of PC's guns are unrefined. This brad nailer is a good gun for its price. The brad nailer fires very smooth shots and never jams. I find myself using it for sensitive crown mouldings and casing on the jamb side. I recommend stepping up to the gun that can fire up to 2" pins. You'll probably finding yourself limited with 1.25" pins.
