The Porter-Cable 28-248 is a 28-gauge pneumatic brad nailer. This tool is compact and lightweight, making it easy to maneuver in tight spaces.

This model also includes a selective actuation switch, allowing users to choose between sequential and contact firing modes based on their needs. The built-in dry fire lockout mechanism is another valuable feature that prevents the tool from firing without nails, which prolongs its lifespan and ensures safety.

The ergonomic design of both models emphasizes user comfort, with features like rubber grips that minimize fatigue during prolonged use. Both tools are compatible with a variety of nail sizes and types, making them suitable for a range of tasks from cabinetry to flooring installations.
