Metabo HPTPin Nailer Kit | 23 Gauge Accepts Nails from 5/8-Inch to 1-3/8-Inch 5-Year Warranty NP35A

I have had some 18 gauge nailers for a while now but decided to try a pin nailer. After doing some reading online it seemed like this would be a good buy. I love using it. It does a great job of sticking things together while glue dries or sometimes when I don't even use glue. My only criticism is the safety mechanism on it. The safety and the trigger operate in the same way and are close to each other. I prefer the safety mechanisms on my other nailers where they won't fire unless the business end is firmly pressed against my work piece. I do worry about accidentally firing a pin into myself or across the room. Other than that, this nailer works great.

I have used quite a few 23g pin nailers and this one takes the cake! It’s super quiet which threw me off for a little while but every time it sank the 1” nails perfectly. I don’t think I will be using any of the other nailers again. It’s super balanced and feels great in the hand. If your looking for the best 23g pin nailer this is the one.

Super handy for cabinetry work.

This is the replacement for Hitachi and it works very well. No miss fires after more than 500 shots.

I have 5 Porter-Cable nail guns, which I am happy with, so I was interested in getting a P-C pin nailer for the set. The cost of the P-C pin nailer was too much, so I looked for alternatives. The Metabo pin nailer looked good and was reasonably priced so I took a chance. I am pleasantly surprised with the quality. I think the quality is better than P-C.'s It would have been nice to get an assortment of pin lengths with the kit, but I knew it didn't come with it so I bought some at the same time as the nailer. Tried the smallest length pin (5/8") and it worked flawlessly. I drove it thru 1/4" hardboard into MDF and it worked perfectly (no misfires or jams and drove pin flush). I will be using it to hold hardboard router templates and small box joints, so this was an important test. Very pleased with the purchase so far.
