' Went into the HomoDepot to kill some time between dinner and movie. Saw they had Senco 41XP 15guage finish nailer marked at $49 Called an employee over to see if it was just the demo model or what. Turned out to be a closeout and I walked out with the nailer for $49 and $47 worth of ammo. I just wanted to check and see if there is some kind of know problem with this nailer?
Or if anyone wants me to pick the last one up and mail it out I'm game. I would guess priority mail would be around $35 email me at maninthesea@hotmail.com

does this nailer have the red exhaust cap on it?

No
The exhuast redirector is grey/silver. The only red on the whole gun is the senco logo

well, from my experience, the 42xp ( which lasted roughly 1 year with pretty lite duty work )was not that great compared to my max nf 550 but hey, I just love MAX guns ( www.maxusacorp.com )

Ive got a max CN100 that kicks a** but for $49 I had to get the senco. I have always considered them a good brand, maybe not the best but not crap either. I just was wondering if there was some known flaw with the 41xp that was know to most just not me.
What went wrong with your 42xp?

the 41xp is a good gun and lasts forever...you got a good frickin deal

if you had to pay full price, then buy a hitachi or max then the senco imho

You got a great deal!

The one thing to watch for with this gun, is to oil the follower. Otherwise, it tends to stick, and not advance the stick of nails.

All my guns are senco. I have not hade much of a problam with them. I like them and they leave a small hole..

I used the gun today a bunch of 1 1/4" and some 2 1/2 today. all went well and I really liked the depth adjustment. Had one double feed I think it was in the transition from one stick to another. I'm happy with the purchase.
Cheers Jim
