Amazon.com Review
Offering the industry's highest power-to-weight ratio, this Bostitch brad nailer kit is easy on the arm but full of user-friendly features to simplify projects from trim work to paneling, staircase installation to crafts. While most pneumatic tools require several drops of oil daily for lubrication, this tool's oil-free design means less downtime, no more post-job cleanup or nasty messes on stain-grade trim.Weighing just 2.1 pounds, this tool packs an impressive 170 in./lbs. of driving power. The tool's innovative magnesium frame offers more durability than you'd expect from a tool this light. It drives 18-gauge brads from 5/8 to 2 inches in length. (For a bit less power and weight, this tool has a smaller brother, the BT125K-2, which features 145 in./lbs. of torque and fires brads from 5/8 to 1/1/4 inches.) An ultra-quiet rear exhaust rotates 360 degrees, which is great for working in tight quarters or around corners and odd-shape workpieces where it's difficult to dodge discharge. Offering another big step forward in brad nailing, the tool's open nose design offers complete access to the drive channel for fast jam clearing. And, an quick access depth adjustment enables quick changes on the fly. A scrupulously ergonomic design offers unsurpassed balance and accuracy. The tool responds to slight movements of the wrist like it knows where you want nail next. Comfortable for both right- and left-hand users, the handle features a molded rubber grip for an outstanding combination of comfort and durability. A highly visible reload indicator lets you know when more fasteners are needed, and an exclusive magnetic strip holds fasteners in place for remarkably smooth loading operations--a handy feature for precarious ladder work. Best of all, the adjustable depth control combines with the protective no-mar tip to make precise countersinking a breeze. --Brian D. Olson What's in the Box
Tool, -inch air fitting, 1,000 2-inch brads, carrying case, Allen wrench and extra no-mar tip.
Amazon.com Review
This is brad nailing for the new millennium: a powerful driver in a feather-light body. The magnesium housing is a fantastic development from the Bostitch folks, who've known all along how to make a heck of a nailer. This one weighs in at a mere 2.1 pounds, letting you hoist and fire for hours without the strain and fatigue of the heavier models. The motor is whisper-quiet and oil-free, eliminating worries about oil-stained work pieces. Bostitch thought of everything with this one, even creating a magnetic magazine that hangs onto your fasteners for breezy loading. The adjustable depth control is quick and easy to use, without any fumbling. You can countersink in a flash, too. Don't let the weight of this tool fool you, it packs serious power. It also comes with a thousand brads and a sturdy case. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

 On my second and no better.... September 8, 2008
Compared to other Bostich nailers this one is terrible. I'm on my second nailer in a couple years. The first one worked very well but developed air leak somewhere around the trigger. I didn't have the time to mail it to Bostich to fix so I bought a second one.
The second nailer is terrible. It jams and won't fire their own (Stanley) 1 5/8" nails - there are grooves in the magazine where the heads of the brads sit and there is no groove in the nailer I have for those brads. A minor issue but that's what I had on hand for brads.
I don't recommend this tool.

This professional nailer is like I use at work. It is my first nail gun at home because it can do from very fine small work to furniture and cabinet size fastening.
 Never has worked right February 9, 2007
I've been using this for about 4 years now and am about at wits end with it. I had all kinds of misfire problems with it in the beginning, after analyzing what might be wrong, I put a metal shim in it and it seems to misfire (drive the nail 50 to 90% in leaving you reaching for the pliers hoping like heck you can extricate the offensive little nail without dinging up your finish work too much) less often. Lately I can't seem to get the gun to fire when I hook it up after it sits over night. Without the air hose attached, I need to put the gun on a piece of scrap or something, squeeze the trigger, then hook up the air hose to get it to fire, once it starts going, it usually does OK. I like the light weight and small tip size, but if it doesn't perform, what good is it. I like my Bostitch N88RH Framer and N62 15 Gauge a lot so I'm not a Anti-Bostitchite, but this BT200K-2 is not worth anything in my world.
Lemon! January 5, 2007
Picked up at Lowe's at $88, over DeWalt ($90) and Hitach ($79). All those were 2", 18GA with depth adjustment. Oil free operation and exhaust air direction is always toward to work piece (there is no deflector that you turn but exhaust port is located right at where quick connect fitting) were the merits. I minded about those four Allen screws that need to be unscrewed to clear jam but I have had only one or two jams over the past 5 or so years with my other nailers (1-1/4 brad, 1-1/2 staplers) so did not care too much. It came with 1000 brads too!
On the first day of working (I am a diy person) on an oak window casing and door molding, it misfired once in almost every 5 shots or so. It just won't drive a nail at all at the first attempt. Too picky depressor mechanism? Many will understand the situation that, working alone, you hold long moldings with one hand, while you support other side with your nailer for the first shot, but it just won't fire but not ever missing to leave a dimple. And had three jams. (yes! for the period of just 300 brads...) Did I mention that it needs four screws to be undone?
On the second day, I tried to get a hang out of it and spent 200 brads on a 2x4, just to find out when it misfires. I tried to change the way I depress this nailer and change how much force to push it... without any luck.
Gave up and returned it and came back with DeWalt D51238K. Heck! DeWalt did not even come with quick connect fitting, neither 1000 brads but I completed my work, gone through about 1000 brads. For the period of about 1000 brads, about 8 drops of oil, four strong puffs from exhaust at my face, two puffs to a floor that caused blow off of saw dust at my face, zero misfire and zero jam are all I had to deal with.
And one more thing, DeWalt left about 2/3 size of dimple of Bostitch. Although I haven't spent more than a few weeks, after getting along with two guns, my eyes tend to pleased on that bright yellow color over tainted rather ugly poop color too!
The first Bostitch tool to ever fail me October 12, 2006
I have 4 Bostitch pneumatic tools and I've never had any trouble with any of them, until now.
I agree with several other negative reviews in here:
I've used it for several weeks now and given it every chance not to fail me. This nailer has a sequential trigger and it double fires at times, mostly because of the large recoil from such a small tool I believe. Whether using long or short brads, it misfires. A lot. The gun recoils so bad you will easily mar softer woods. To the skeptics reading this review: yes, the technique, application and air pressure are all a-ok. No operator error here, I've been using pneumatic nailers since the 80's.
Minor point: the instruction book is total trash. It's intuitive enough once you look it over before just ramming a stick of nails in the mag, but there's a couple of tricks to loading the magazine they don't even hint about.
I think I'll still give this tool another chance. Maybe I just have a 'lemon'. I'm going to exchange it for a new one and try again. If the new one jambs or double fires within the first 10 shots it's going back to the store for good.
