I giggled the first time I used this, it drives nails with such ease - as if the wood was butter.
It's great for metal fasteners and tight spaces, it gets into all the small corners where neither a full size nail gun nor a hammer would fit.
The small size is a perfect fit for my (large) hand, and squeezes into smaller places than the larger model palm nailer.
The magnet holds the nails well so you can drive them with one hand, just press and the nail is quickly hammered (vibrated?) into place.
You can stop early and leave the nail head up if you're just tacking things, or come back later and finish the nail flush.

This is another product that I give 5 stars, not because it is the best on the market (not industrial quality) - but is a good deal for the low price. I had a project where I needed to drive 240 nails in tight, overhead areas - could have done it with a hammer - but my wrist and shoulder hurt just thinking about the prospect.
Had this puppy in a couple days with Amazon Prime, quickly reviewed the instructions and 45 minutes later had the job done - didn't even break a sweat.
Will probably submit a video of this in action because you have to see it to believe how easy it makes a job like this.
One word of caution, read the instructions about how to insert the nails. It's pretty easy to accidentally "fire" this thing if you are not focused every time you load a nail - and I imagine even a preacher would have some choice words if it fired with his/her finger over the nail point.

I have this and a "full-sized" palm nailer, the Factory-Reconditioned Ridgid 3-1/2" Palm Nailer ZRR350PNA (purchased new from HD). I think that I expected this to work as well as the Ridgid. In retrospect, that was an unrealistic expectation; the Ridgid is more than twice the price and 3 times the weight of the Bostitch. The Ridgid is silky smooth and drives a 10d nail in maybe a second or so with minimal vibration. This Bostitch mini-nailer will do the same in maybe two or more seconds and, due to it's light weight, seems to vibrate and bounce quite a bit.
Those negatives aside, I really like this nailer. It is compact, light weight, and gets the job done. It is small enough to get into even tighter places than the larger palm nailers, like the Ridgid, and light enough to keep in your belt. That allows you to switch to this from a framing nailer as necessary without having to go back to your tool box.
My advise would be that if you are a homeowner looking for something to replace a framing hammer, get the Ridgid; you won't be disappointed. If you have already a full-sized palm nailer, or you normally use a framing nailer, or even if you prefer a hammer, you can't go wrong with this Bostitch mini-nailer. Keep it on your belt and it is always there when you need it. Keep in mind though that this mini-nailer is not as fast as a regular framing hammer, it just allows you to get into tighter places.
One more thing. I've found that this nailer seems to work better at higher pressures. When I use this at 80 psi it is slow and vibrates a lot. When I up the pressure to the max, 100psi, there is noticeably less vibration and, of course, it is faster too.
Overall, for the price of a decent framing hammer, you've got a good backup in your toolbox that can go places you never thought that you could go.
