So I like the Porter Cable brand. As a retired finish carpenter I have used their corded tools for years and they held up in a commercial environment. I can't speak to the longevity of this particular nailer, but it does feel right to me. When I was working, I had another brand that cost twice as much and was 3x as large. It was handy, because I didn't have to unload an air compressor and hose for base-over after the tile or whatever was installed.The 18 gauge sized pin (nails) is kind of new to me, but I have shot 19 gauge through it. I think for small homeowner jobs, like repairs to crown and trim on cabinets (that's me now) it's ideal. I also have their sawsall but it didn't come with a battery so I bought this to get the battery for both. Pretty impressed and I am not surprised. Good luck!
