Surprisingly Brilliant Tool
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I wasn’t completely sold on this tool when I bought it. I was leaning towards the Dewalt 18 volt brad nailer, since I had the Dewalt 18 volt 16 gauge finishing nailer, which was a game changer. Anyway, didn’t even know this tool was out when I bought it a month ago, and wasn’t sure I would like the gas/battery design versus just a straight battery design like the Dewalt. But, I did like the design of the gun and especially liked the weight. This gun is nearly half the weight of the Dewalt, 7.4 pounds, versus 4 pounds, and it is noticeably better balanced.
Driven a 1000 or so brads, no jambs using excellent quality brads. The tool-less depth changing knob works very well, turning produces exactly the right quality of change in the height of the brad.
Decibels produced by the gun is less than my Dewalt finishing nail. Obviously there is a slight gas odor that is associated with most guns of this type, but it is minimal.
Comes with a fantastic case, 2 batteries, protective glasses, and mine surprisingly came with a Hitachi 3.6 volt screwdriver. Not sure all these come with this item, but mine did. Be sure to watch who you buy this from, I wish Amazon would carry this directly. I buy nearly all my tools from Amazon, no problems. Just be sure to look around for the best price.
