   Bake,

   I know your heading says Airco, but are you maybe asking about "Airy" brand, the Taiwanese made, orange colored ones? If so, I have had the small one (18 ga) for about 5 years, and am pleased with it. I paid $69 for it at a woodworking show. I don't use it every day, but have had good service out of it. It jams occassonally, but I think they all do that, and it's fairly easy to clear. Also sometimes have trouble countersinking the longer brads into dense wood, but that may be my compressor's fault. The Airy came with the worst instruction manual of any tool I have ever bought, and it was the first air tool I had owned, so it took me a little while to get used to it. (Didn't know for a year that it could be adjusted to countersink by switching the front plate around.) I think Airy makes a combination brad nailer/stapler now also. Anyway, hope this helps. GP
