Porter-Cable FR350A Framing Nailer
Tool: Porter-Cable FR350A Round Head 2-Inch to 3-1/2-Inch Framing Nailer
Date of Service: November 2005
A cheap tool in a pinch. That’s what I considered my Porter-Cable FR350A when I bought it in 2005. Since then it has proven to be a solid performer despite it’s awkwardly large frame.

Experience:
With my Bostitch Framing Gun in need of repair I bought the cheapest stick nailer I could get my hands on within an hour’s time. Since then I have used my Porter-Cable FR350A for the heavy demands of house framing. Maybe it’s because it came with a carry bag that my P-C FR350 looks so clean and new but it’s hammered home a bunch of nails.
I don’t really know what to say about this Framing Nailer other than:
- It wasn’t expensive
- I don’t prefer this to others
- It’s big and heavy and unwieldy.
- It works!
Here’s a picture of it next to a full sized 23oz framing hammer. It’s a big nail gun.
