If you are wondering what a Porter Cable Nailer is, wonder no more. Basically, it is a brand name for an air powered nail gun.

This brand comes in several different models, and can shoot a variety of different nail gauges. Some are magazine loaded, and others have a barrel loader.

These are spring loaded so when you are nailing, they automatically reload the firing chamber.

Because they are air powered, and have a large magazine, there is no need to keep stopping.

There is also no need to stop to adjust the depth of the nail, or adjust the barrel if you are using this model.

The no tool needed convenience comes in handy when you are changing the nail gauge. It also comes with a selectable trigger, and operates from 70-120PSI.

You also get a carrying case, oil lubricant, and a ¼" air fitting with dust cover. It weighs just 8lbs., and has a natural feel. While you can probably find them at many different outlets, if you want the best prices for the Porter Cable Nailer, you best bet is to buy it at Amazon.

For a Porter Cable Brad Nailer, where do I add the oil?
In the manual, they said to add 5 drops to the gun. Do I put the drops directly inside where the gun connects to the hose? ( The male end) After I add the oil, is it ok to hook the gun directly up to the air compressor to use it? thanks

Put the oil drops in in the inlet airport (where the air hose connects). Yes, you can start using the gun after the oil is added. However shoot the gun a few times on a scrap piece of wood so the excess oil will blow out. If you don't oil may get on your good wood thus causing a stain and difficult if not impossible to remove or cover over depending upon your finish.

The first answer is right on but I wanted to add something. It is always best to oil your gun before each use, if you do not oil the gun then you run the chance of blowing out the seals and then you will have to have them replaced, not that it is hard to do but a pain none the less.
