Metabo HPT NR90AES1 Framing Nailer with Air Hose, 1/4" x 50'

As I was building my shed, I received advice on how to speed up the process by using a framing nailer. Based on my consideration and review, I decided to go with this one because it's affordable and has already received good reviews. It is quite expensive and very sensitive to the nails used using a bostitch framing nailer. I prefer to buy my tools from the same brand, but I have experienced that this nailer is quite sensitive to nails. It is a Hitachi galvanized 2 that I got with the companion galvanized. With a 90psi setting on your compressor, this guy shoots in nails perfectly flush whether you set it straight or angled. With 5" framing nails, I have two strips left after I complete my shed and it has never jammed once. During my work, it speeded up my project and, even with an unplugged 6gallon compressor, I could shoot quite a few nails before the battery needed to be charged. The nailer is on the heavier side, as I found (just by its weight alone, but I haven't used any other framing nailers to compare it with, so it might just be a matter of weight). My air opening gets lubricated with lubrication oil that I squirt in every time I use it. No fancy lubrication kit was purchased. It would have been helpful if you could have bought a longer air hose for greater maneuverabilty, but this is not an issue with the product itself, but rather an issue with the method of framing. There is only one "con" I would like to mention, which is that the nose is a bit pointy, so wherever the nose is pointed, you will see When it comes to wall studding, it doesn't matter as it isn't visible, but if it comes to paneling, then you can see it a bit (although that's easily fixed with some caulk). A nose cap for it is available for about $20, but I think that is overkill! On the whole, I would have expected this to be part of the kit to be honest.

After doing research and reading reviews, I ordered the Nail gun online. My experience was mediocre when it arrived. Right away, the gun jammed, but I was able to figure out how to hold the pin back and get it unlocked, but shortly afterwards it jammed again. After a few more attempts, the nail holder got stuck pretty solid, so I had to remove it to unjam it. Yesterday it jammed again and I was tired of fiddling with it, so I decided to send it back. Whenever I fire my older Paslode gun, it always fires like a champ. I have never had a jam since I bought it used. The end result may have been a defective gun I received (I am not sure for sure), but I received two stars for that experience.

Why 3/4? It's an excessive price for plywood, isn't it? In fact, yes. Other options were not available to me. Nonetheless, the nails are now flush in four by header over the garage door just after being shot about 300 times this Saturday! I am very pleased with my purchase. Considering your options, it's a great deal. I'm happy to have found such a great nailer under 200 dollars, from a trustworthy brand.

Nailgun is a better product than we had expected. Based on recommendations made by contractor friends of his who still use them regularly, my son is doing some remodeling on my home and has mentioned purchasing a Hitachi Nailgun (now made by Metabo). As a matter of fact, he told me he was familiar with the nailgun because he had used it before, but was unable to recall My minimal research on my part quickly determined that the Nailgun is of impeccable quality and reliability, which is evidenced by all of the awards it has won The work my son is doing for me is free, so I thought a good way to start out on "tokens of appreciation" would be to purchase a nailgun for him to use (and to Nailgun kits made by another manufacturer have been owned by each of us before and neither of us was happy Normally I am price-conscious, but in this case it was less important for obvious reasons

I had been contemplating between getting the older Hitachi nailgun (NR83A5, now marketed as Metabo) and this newer model from By the end of the day, I decided to purchase this newer style with the thought that, if my son did not like it, I would just keep it and purchase him the older model for him. Since he was unlikely to lose anything, I figured he would be pleasantly surprised if this newer style, lighter Nailgun worked as well as it was supposed to. My final decision was based on the positive customer reviews that I read and on the specifications of the product, including its Even though the lower price is significantly lower than under different circumstances, it still contributed, but not as much as it might have. It was not something I had contemplated before, but I know I will use it on occasion, and I like the idea that it is lighter, something that appealed to me after owning another Nailgun brand that was considerably My son will be doing a lot of overhead framing at my home during the remodeling project with whatever Nailer I purchase, so if the unit is a good one, he will certainly be thankful for the lighter weight. In light of what we discussed with him and how it would function if he were to not be satisfied with the newer model nailer, I ordered this model. My husband and I are very pleased that I did. This program has performed flawlessly so far. It is the first gun he has fired which has not jammed or misfired over 2,000 nails. It occurred to me that the hanger that comes on the Nailgun will be "too wide" to be of much use, and I ordered the $15 replacement kit that fixes the issue. Even though I would not have regretted buying the older model gun, I am glad I did given the newer version to him to use. It is easier for him to maneuver in tight places, and it also holds better over his head frequently (from time to time). My experience with this product was worth taking the time to share. I don't usually write reviews, but I thought it would be appropriate.

It was not working, I didn't know where a repair facility was nor how much it would cost, and I needed an air hammer soon. I have another pneumatic framing hammer, a Paslode, but I hadn't used it for years. It cost less than half of what I paid for the Paslode for my deck, so I bought it- In fact, I used it on a restoration project, and it worked perfectly. I'm so excited about this hammer I might knock over my old, rusty tool chest I took an old shed and rebuilt it just to be able to work my It might not be that simple.

The full-length version was used I have a hot head There are 700 of these galvanized nails. In comparison with the tool I had previously borrowed, this one is quite light. In order to use the compressor at 85 psi, I set the pancake valve.

Except for the fact that it continually fails to eject a plastic disk every five minutes, this gun would be perfect A total of 6 shots are A staple will fall onto your desk with no disk under it when it misfires. Then, you may or may not receive a disk the next time depending on whether you hit the nose on the mark. It looks great and I really like it, but I would give it five stars if it would fire correctly 95% of the time but it only does so every once in a while This is too difficult if you repeat it six times.
