Metabo HPTFraming Nailer, Pro-Preferred Power Nailer for Flooring, Roof Decking, and More, Lightweight 7.5 lbs Framing Tool for 21° 2" to 3-1/2" Plastic Collated Nails, NR90AES1

This Nailgun exceed our expectations. My son is doing some remodeling on my home and had mentioned purchasing a Hitachi Nailgun (now made by Metabo) based on recommendations made by contractor friends of his who still use them daily. He told me that he was familiar with that particular Nailgun as he had used it before but couldn't remember the model number.Minimal research on my part quickly determined the Nailguns durability and it's performance is beyond question as evinced by the many accolades it has received over the years.As my son is doing the remodeling work per gratis, I felt a good start on "tokens of appreciation" would be to purchase a good nailgun for him to use (and keep). We had both owned Nailgun kits before made by another manufacturer and neither of us were pleased with them. I am a price-conscious shopper, but in this particular case it was less of a factor for obvious reasonsAfter doing a substantial amount of research, I was debating between purchasing the older style Hitachi Nailgun (NR83A5 now branded Metabo) and this newer model Nailer offered by Metabo. At the end of the day I decided to purchase this newer model, thinking that if my son did not like it, I would just keep it and then purchase him the older style for him to use. I figured he couldn't lose either way and if this newer style, lighter Nailgun worked as well as the reviews said it would, he would be pleasantly surprised.I made the final decision based on the positive customer reviews I had read and the product specifications, including the weight. The substantially lower price factored in but not as much as it might have under different circumstances. I knew I would be using the Nailer on occasion and liked the idea that it was lighter, something that appealed to me after owning a different brand Nailgun that was much heavier and somewhat cumbersome. I also knew my son would be doing considerable overhead framing work at my home during the remodeling process with whatever Nailer I purchased and if the unit worked well, he would certainly appreciate the lighter Nailgun..After talking it over with him and how it would play out if for some reason he was unsatisfied with the newer model Nailer, I ordered this nailer. We are both very pleased that I did! It has performed flawlessly. He has put over 2,000 nails through the gun without a single misfire or jam. I made note of the one complaint about the hanger that comes on the Nailgun being "too wide" to be of much use and ordered the $15 aftermarket kit that easily replaces it.While I am sure I would not have regretted purchasing the older style gun, I am glad that I got the newer model for him to use on my project. It is easier to maneuver in tight places and obviously easier to hold over his head constantly (at times).I don't normally write reviews, but figure this product was worth the time it took to let you know my experience.

Building a 16x24 Tiny home and let me tell you this thing is incredible, I've put in thousands of nails at this point and no issues at all. I'm not one to put tools down nicely I really beat them up and this feels sturdy and holds up well. incredible tool 10/10

I recently used the Metabo HPT Framing Nailer, Pro Preferred Brand of Pneumatic Nailers, 21 Degree Magazine, for a basement project, and it performed flawlessly. This metal nailer is robust and well-built, handling 3-inch nails with ease.Throughout the entire project, I experienced no jams, which was a pleasant surprise compared to other nailers I've used in the past. The efficiency and reliability of this tool made the work much smoother and quicker.Metabo HPT lives up to its reputation as a top brand in pneumatic nailers. If you're looking for a dependable and powerful framing nailer, I highly recommend this one. It's a great investment for any serious DIYer or professional!

This is a really nice, modern version of the old classic Duofast CN 350 nail gun. It's lighter and more maneuverable, and tougher than it looks. If you're looking for a framing or fence nailer that shoots full-round-headed nails -- this is a really good choice.

I have used pneumatic Nailers and staplers before, but never a framing Nailer. This was my first experience with Metabo. I bought it to rebuild a fence and ended up nailing about 1500 Metabo 2-inch galvanized nails. As suggested by other reviewers, I stuck with the Metabo nails.In the beginning I was loading two strips of nails into the gun (because it could take two strips), and often the gun was jamming as it moved from one strip to another. When using only one strip everything worked perfectly. Having to continually reload after one strip slowed my nailing down a bit, but the consistency of not having any issues was worth it. Also, extracting jams was fairly easy once I figured out how to do it (the manual was no help). In the beginning, I was looking for a way to disassemble the gun as I had with other brands, but the nails jammed nails would slide easily out of the gun.Looking back after completing the project, my inexperience with this brand was the biggest issue. The product worked well and it was a very good value for the money.

Works great! Used to frame a small cabin and not a single missfire or jam. Works well off of a $50 harbor freight air compressor--just needed about 80 psi. I put 5 drops of tool oil into the hose port before each day and never a problem.
