A bargain priced item preforming equal to it's price. October 1, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I wish I could rave about this product, but the simple truth is that it has a couple of shortcomings that need to be worked around if you plan on purchasing it.
Plan on using a dedicated 15amp (minimum) line with an appliance rated extension cord. Anything less will not do. Keep your tac hammer ready to clean up as any nailing into hardwood, regardless of the brad length will not flush to the surface on its own 9 out of 10 times.
If you can live with these limitations, this will be a useful tool for you. Certainly for the price one shouldn't expect too much and although it is not a perfect machine, it does preform better than my expectations.

I purchased this product to install quarter rounds in the bedroom. Unfortunately, no matter how hard I pressed on the gun, 90% of the nails wouldn't go all the way through. I was also disappointed in the return policy.
 Not so sure about Surebonder 5950 Electric Nailer June 4, 2008

The Surebonder 5950 Electric Nailer arrived later than expected - the initial confirm email (May 03) from Uncle Joe's said that a tracking number would be forward "ASAP", but it never arrived - finally arrived on May 15 in good condition, but the nailer looks like it has been used. The Surebonder will not drive 1-1/4" brads through 3/4" pine moulding into particleboard - about 1/6" remains above the moulding. It appears that the nailer has the power to drive 1" brads, though I haven't tried this yet. This heavy-duty nailer is better than the other "light duty" nailers available, but for real versatility, flush nailing through all trim materials, or extended use (for fences?), a pneumatic unit would be best.
The Best of a Poor Tool Style May 29, 2008

Compared to air tools electric drivers are just underpowered. The Surebonder is no different, it just has 'more of not enough'.I drove lots of brads from 1/2" to 1" and true, it did drive each brad all the way to the head. But I had to be slow and deliberate, using both hands so there would be no reactive kickback (in which case it would not have driven the brad all the way to it's head). Even with the Surebonder you are not going to be able to just 'tap and shoot' like air tools-slow and deliberate is the way this tool works. So why even have one of these ineffectual drivers? It's to drive the small size nails of 3/8"-1".As weak as electric drivers are, they are miles ahead of you and a tack hammer. They're also cheaper than a compressor rig and easier to store when finished. The brads hold better than hammer driven brads and the heads are easier to hide. The big plus-fast setup over a compressor..virtually plug it in and start shooting. So if you have just a bit of light driving to do-use the Surebonder,slow and steady,it's the best of it's type.
 Surebonder for the DIYer May 2, 2008

The Surebonder 5950 Electric Nailer is a nice product. It uses brads from 3/8 inch to 1 and 1/4 inch 18 gauge. I used the Senco A209809 variety (size) pack of 1200 brad nails ($4.40)they have on this site and they are fine. I wish I had bought more but I wanted to make sure they fit and see first which sizes I use the most. Probably it will be the 3/4 inch, so I can then purchase a whole pack of that size only. It is supposed to work with any 18 guage brads.
It is as easy to load and similar to loading a regular stapler. It comes in a sturdy plastic case that is about 12 by 12 by 3 inches, about the size of a small briefcase. It has a 12 foot cable and runs at 14.5 amps. It has a small opening to let you see if you are running out of nails.
They have a toll free number and urge you to call it if you are thinking of returning it, but I did not call it as I have no reason to call. They also put their regular phone and fax numbers on the packaging. This always gives me a good feeling to know you can get an answer to a question and indicates to me that a company cares about their customers and has confidence in their products.
I used it to nail together a 1/2 inch piece of plywood and a 2 by 4 and tried all sizes up to the 1 1/4 inch brad and they all went through. You must follow the directions and use both hands to drive the nail all the way in.
It left a little stub when I tried to drive a 1 inch brad all the way through a 1/2 inch piece of hardwood (it was scrap so I don't know the species) and into the 1/2 inch plywood, I still was not disappointed as I don't recall driving many nails all the way through a piece of hardwood, as glue is really the way to go there.
I am just a DIYer but it is so nice to be able to have this guy around as I was always hesitant to hand hammer all those little nails, but this is really a great tool. I wish I had bought it earlier. It seems well designed and well built so if it lasts a few years it will be well worth it.
