Wasted $200 on a brad nailer that jammed nonstop

Picked up one of those no-name brad nailers off Amazon last month for a kitchen trim job. Figured it was a steal but it jammed every 15 nails and I spent more time fixing it than shooting. Ended up tossing it and grabbing a used Bostitch from a pawn shop for $40 that works perfect. Anyone else get burned by cheap nail guns from online?

Learned that lesson too, now I only buy name brand air tools used.

Same thing happened to me with a no-name finish nailer. Bought it off some random site, jammed on the third nail, and the return policy was a joke. Scored a used Senna from a guy on Facebook Marketplace for $50 and it's been flawless for two years.

Used tools are the way to go.
