Im considering buying a floor nailer for my job. Its about 330 square feet and Im guessing it may take me more than 2 days. If I spill over into the third day, thats about $120 in rental costs for the nail gun (abot $40 a day)

Im wondering if I should buy one and then sell it on ebay.. not thrilled with that idea because Im concerned that I wont be able to offload it and Im stuck with a 300 or 400 dollar gun Ill never use again.

So, at Harbor Freight I see this gun:

certainly a cheap one... but do you think its worth buying?

Any thoughts out there?

We bought one as a back up while we had a couple being repaired and it seems to be holding up quite well. We have used it on several thousand square feet without any problems yet.
