### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great nail gun however..
*by Z***D on December 20, 2023*

The Amazon driver left the box next to the mail box while I was at work and it was raining all day instead of walking the 15-20 feet up to the porch where it would have been out of the rain. Luckily the carrying case the nailer is in is shrink wrapped in plastic, so great on Bostitch. There doesn’t seem to be way to let Amazon know about something like this so I’m writing in the review. 5 stars for the product 0 for the delivery driver who was lazy and didn’t want to get wet.
