This is a very worthwhile tool! (Rating: 5.00)
Review : These fuel cells are great! They are a great value for the benefit they afford: namely portable power nailing without a compressor. The only drawback I have found to these fuel cells is that you must remove them if you will not be using your Bammer for an extended period of days/weeks. If you do not, all of the fuel will slowly seep out and your fuel cell will be empty when you next need it! And speaking of the nail gun itself, I have owned a Porter-Cable "Bammer" for about three years now and I remain well pleased with its performance. I am a do-it-yourselfer primarily using the nailer for basic home remodeling and woodworking in my garage shop. I have used mine to hang all types of moldings and casings throughout my house and friends' houses, as well as to attach moldings to furniture projects in the shop. The worst "problem" I have ever had with this nail gun is a feed/jam, which was easily cleared (it has only happened once or twice). Bottom Line: If you read and follow the instructions, and take your time with this tool, I see no reason why you cannot have as much success with it as I have.
Bammer with fuel cell (Rating: 5.00)
Review : Just borrowed a friends Porter Cable "Bammer" and loved it. The fuel cell concept works great, no air compressor, or battery pack. For the homeowner or do-it-yourselfer, it is great. It has been discontinued, but is still available new, and used; fuel cells are available here. We bought a "Bammer" of our own; didn't want to give the borrowed one back.
Bammer not worth buying (Rating: 1.00)
Review : I called Porter Cable and was told that the bammer guns were discontinued because they never worked as a Porter Cable should. Porter Cable offered to replace the tool with another but made no guarantee that it would work. After complaining a bunch PC offered to replace the Bammer with any equal value product. That is why I will stick with Porter Cable tools but it will not be a Bammer.
Bammers - offer freedom and reliability (Rating: 5.00)
Review : I am very disappointed in Porter-Cable. Apparently they have discontinued the BAMMER line of products. However, I have two finish nailers we use extensively and have never had a problem (no more than normal air powered nailers) We use them for quick repairs and small jobs and they are great - no compressor to lug around, they are light weight and very manuverable. Too bad, I guess we have to look at other vendors since we like the gas powered freedom. Sorry Porter-Cable, you lost a customer.
Satisfied with my bammer (Rating: 5.00)
Review : I have used my bammer extensively for 3 years now. Probably gone through 20 fuel cells with no problems. Only problem has been sometimes the fuel cells leak. This is solved by oiling the rubber cell seal to keep it supple. I love the freedom my bammer gives me. No lugging around an air compressor just to do a 10 minute job. No air hoses to sort out. The bammer is so versatile I have even installed wood flooring with it. Too bad Porter Cable discontinued it. All they had to do was beef it up a little design-wise.
