BOSCH GNH18V-18MB12 18V Brushless 18-Gauge Brad Nailer Kit with 2Ah Battery and Charger - Cordless, Efficient, and Precise for Decorative Work and Tight Spaces

Unit works pretty good. Adjustments work pretty good. I'll get some use out of this.

I'd been using a cordless Porter Cable for years and loved not having to plug into an air compressor every time I needed to use it. What I didn't like is the constant misfires and having that one battery that didn't charge with the rest of my Bosch batteries.I was super excited when I saw Bosch released their 18-Gauge Brad Nailer and even more excited after I used it. It's a bit heavy but nice and powerful. If you own Bosch cordless tools, this is a nice addition to your arsenal.

It's not too heavy, and there have been no jams.Build quality is ok, the bottom screen with buttons is loose but works fine for mode switching.

I've been using this Bosch brad nailer for a few projects around the house, and I'm impressed with its performance. Like my other Bosch tools, it feels well-made and durable. It is a little heavier than I expected, which can be a bit noticeable when working on something like baseboards, but the convenience of not needing an air compressor and hose more than makes up for it. The freedom to move around without being tethered is great.The depth adjustment is easy to use, and the nailer is precise. It's a bit bulkier than my old air nailer, so it can be a little tricky to get into super tight spots, but for most jobs, it works perfectly. The battery life has been surprisingly good so far. Overall, it's a solid and reliable tool that's made my projects much easier.

The media could not be loaded. I have no cons for this other than weight and a little getting used to the power button. I have so many tools that have a safety switch that needs depressed to operate that I kept turning it off and on. The good thing is, this is a one touch on and it stays on. The bad news for me was not constantly turning it off because of force of habit.That aside, this is a really nice nailer. I purposefully set this up without the instruction manual and it's really straightforward. Setting the depth, inserting nails, figuring out how to open it up for service/clear jams is all easy and straightforward. The depth setting wheel is easy to use and it's foolproof though it's a little finicky. I had a few times after I adjusted where it failed to feed. Fortunately it didn't jam, it just didn't feed. Opening the top up to check for jamming is easy and needs no tools.Speed is great, can pretty much pound nails one right after the other with little to no time between. Its able to easily bury the head so you don't have to go back and drive them deeper.Noise level is very low. Even in a closet or tight space you won't need hearing protection. This is where this really stands out over air nailers.My favorite part of this is it leaves no markings in your material, something all of my air nailers do. Very impressed.Battery life seems great. I ran about 100 nails through this and it didn't make a dent in my 2ah battery. This is nice because I'd want to run as small of a matter as I could since this is already plenty heavy which bring me to the size and weight.Its heavy and big for an 18 guage nailer. If you dont need to use this heavily for extended periods of time and you aren't in a shop with a dedicated air source... then this is absolutely perfect. The weight is quite real on this tool weighing almost 7.5 lbs and it's almost as big as a framing nailer.Overall quality is great. The plastics and rubber feel as good if not better than my milwaukee tools.Overall, I think it's a great tool and perfect for someone that only drives a few nails at a time. Also great if you have a customer that works from home or has small children and wants to keep job noise down. If you're the trim guy and using this for hours , I'd suggest sticking with air and a much smaller pneumatic nailer. The weight and size would get tiresome day in and day out though still lighter than lugging around a pancake compressor.

I bought this 18g thinking it was gonna replace the dewalt. I bought the og 16 gauge bosch angled cordless nailer and it was a solid tool.1st off, this nailer is heavy. Put the battery on and it's even heavier. Dewalt for the win.2nd off, the way you turn it on and off is really dumb. It's on the handle, and as you're using it you can accidentally turn it off.3rd no matter what battery size I use, it doesn't fully sink nails (yes I messed with the depth gauge).I love bosch. I have a full arsenal and then some, but this 18g is a failure in my book. I regret buying it.

This is an exceptionally well made and functional cordless nail gun with impeccable fit and finish as well as ease of use. Battery life is phenomenal, with a comfortable balance and the ability to very precisely place brad nails. Overall, a tremendous value that saves time and ensures professional results every time from a highly trusted name in power tools. Highly recommend.
