Method: Roster covers 11 independently re-verified 23-gauge headless pin nailers (pneumatic and cordless): Grex P650L, Grex P635L, Metabo HPT NP35A, DeWalt DWFP2350K, Makita AF353, Bostitch HP118K, Senco FinishPro 10, Freeman PP123, NuMax SP123, Valu-Air H625, and Ryobi PCL310B (current AirStrike model, superseding the discontinued Ryobi P318). The draft's 'Craftsman CMPPN23' was DROPPED: its manufacturer page (craftsman.com/products/cmppn23) returns HTTP 404 and no reachable retailer page could corroborate the exact model or its distinguishing specs (170-pin magazine, dual-trigger), so it failed the verifiable-source rule. Two originally-requested numbers 'WEN 61789' and 'NuMax SPN64' remain dropped as non-existent (WEN lists no 23-ga pin nailer; NuMax's real 23-ga model is SP123). Existence and headline specs were re-confirmed against manufacturer pages (Grex USA, Metabo HPT, DeWalt, Makita USA, NuMax, Freeman Tools, Ryobi/Direct Tools Outlet) and the official Senco FinishPro 10 PDF (read in full). Prices were spot-verified where retailer pages were reachable: Metabo NP35A $99.99 (CPO Outlets), Freeman $59/$49 (freemantools.com), Valu-Air $34.96 (Castle Rock Tools), Ryobi factory-blem $120 off $159.99 (Direct Tools Outlet). Home Depot, Walmart, Lowe's and Nail Gun Depot pages were bot-blocked this session (403/CAPTCHA); those URLs exist and are topical, so their prices are carried from the draft as plausible and are flagged in each provenance rather than presented as freshly re-confirmed. Corrections applied: Makita AF353 priceUsd changed from the strikethrough list price ($227.74) to the actual selling price ($188.34); Metabo NP35A priceUsd changed from the unconfirmed $119 MSRP to the confirmed $99.99 retail; Grex P635L priceUsd aligned to the draft-cited Home Depot figure ($188); dual_trigger_safety set to null for DeWalt DWFP2350K and Ryobi PCL310B (contact-trip / select-fire actuation, not a documented two-trigger safety). pin_length_range_in in inches, weight_lb in pounds, magazine_capacity a unitless pin count; booleans report a source-confirmed yes/no, left null where undocumented (never guessed); priceUsd is the clearest confirmed USD figure, null where none could be corroborated. accessedAt 2026-08-19 throughout.
