Originally known as the Boston Wire Stitcher® Company, the first syllables of the words "Boston" and "Stitcher" were joined to make "Bostitch®", and the name was adopted for product use after the manufacture of machines began. Thomas Briggs, the founder, invented in 1896 a new kind of user friendly Wire Stitcher designed for fastening books, calendars, checks, hat boxes, etc. This machine made a staple or stitch as it was called from a coil of wire. It was called the Boston Wire Stitcher and the company was named the Boston Wire Stitcher Company. In 1903 the company invented a foot operated stapling machine that used pre-formed staples. These staples were not collated but had to be slid off of a track into the magazine of the machine. Later they were collated with paper and then glue. Soon the Boston Wire Stitcher Company was developing various kinds of staplers for industrial markets. In 1930 the Bostitch® Sales Company was formed to sell Bostitch® products, and in 1948 the Boston Wire Stitcher Company officially became Bostitch®, Inc. The first Coil Nailer from Bostitch, the N2, came on the scene in 1965, and the rest is history. Today, Bostitch sells a huge range of nailers, compressors, and other products, and is a leader in the industry.

Customer Reviews
Great power, weak magnet
I bought this nailer and put in two dozen or so Joist hangers and did a little blocking. It is quite large and massive which gives it a good solid feel and dampens the vibration a bit. It has power, and with three tips plenty of versatility(anyone use those other tips?). There is an extra magnet in the repair kit bag. Here's the problem: The magnet is too weak. Reaching around a joist with a 16d the nails can fall out. Worse, because the nails are so poorly secured, it is difficult to start them straight when you are not going into hardware. Strangely, nails hold great to the outside of the tip. Bottom line -- If you just want to blast n10s and 16ds into joist hangers, this guy has power and speed to spare. For bare wood, it's hard to get em started straight.
So I bought the Ridgid. The Ridgid is lighter and has a better magnet. I don't think it is as solid and powerful as the bostitch, but at least I can place nails straight and without them falling out. Love ya Bostitch, but you need a better magnetic nose.

Nailed It
Needed to do some experimental work with a new cement base anchor, the AAC, Ambex Anchoring Capsule, which is a thixotropic cement in a veneer capsule. Due to the thixotropic nature of the cement, vibration would greatly increase the anchor insertions speed.
Happy to say the Bostitch Impact Nail Driver exceeded my expectations.

Versatile alternative
Great alternative to a hammer or nail gun. Will drive any nail unlike a nail gun. It is loud. I would recommend you start the nail with a hammer if critical placement is necessary.

NOT ALL THAT
First, there is a mistatement in the blurbs about this. The magnet that holds the nail is not an integral part of the tool, but imbedded in the nose piece and held on with a plastic band, a decidedly low tech, but workable, way to go. Unfortumately, not in all 3 nose pieces, only two of them. Whatever genius decided that it would be a good idea in two of the nose pieces, but not the third and largest one, should get the Homer Simpson award for stupidity, in my opinion.
If you're having trouble trying to get the leather 'glove' on this thing, here's a handy hint:
Get a leather stretching liquid (I used something called 'Premier Professional Shoe Stretch', but I'm sure there are others out there that work also).
Pour it on, let it set for just a minute, then use PLIERS to pull the damn thing into submission so you can fasten it. Yes, you read it right, PLIERS!I was real nervous about ripping it apart, but this leather is STRONG, didn't even put a dent in it! The leather covers vary greatly, from ones that slip on literally like a glove, to ones that need to be stretched beyond belief.
The snaps on mine were a full three inches apart before using the leather stretcher and pliers! Even with that, it took 10 minutes of wetting and pulling with all my might to 'make ends meet'!

Plam nailer
Bought the Bosititch Plam Nailer and it worked better then I imagined. Thought there would be more vibration but it was really smooth, I tested it three ways one with the cover provided, two with a leather glove and three with bare hand and really couldn't that much of a difference. Did read a few reviews that mentioned noised so I put ear protection on before using and there was no problem. The only complaint would be that there was no air hose fitting in the kit and was a couple of days before going into town. It was almost fun to use, wish I'd bought one sooner. J.P. Calif.
