18 Gauge Cordless Brad Nailer Stapler, 18V 2 in 1 18GA for Home Improvement Woodworking Remodel Project Compatible with Enegitech 18V Lithium Battery (Tool Only, Battery Not Included)

Used this brad nailer to reattach deck balusters that had fallen off a deck railing because the original 2” brad nails had rusted or got lose. I used galvanized exterior 2” Bostitch brand brad nails on single fire mode and depth set all the way in. Probably 90% of the nails went in no problem. The ones that didn’t go in straight, I didn’t push the contact pin/nailer hard enough. This brad nailer is much lighter than I was expecting like my Hitachi framing nailer so that may be why you need to push the firing pin harder agains the wood. Overall I’m very surprised how light this is and how well it works. Didn’t need a compressor or need a gas firing catalyst. Just works off batter and internal compressor. Well done.

If you've used brad nailers with a compressor, then be prepared to go a little slower---but I think the convenience of not having to roll out the compressor, airline, extension cord, & etc outweighs that for smaller jobs. If you're trimming out a whole hose, definitely go with an air tool. Just doing a room or some random stuff, punch list, etc, great tool. Be advised that it's going to be heavier than the air tool by a lot---but that's to be expected.I had zero problems with the tool. The comments about bounce fire seem to be from someone who is not familiar with that mode of nailing. But, as I said, it's not as fast, so you have to slow down a bit.Tool seems robust enough to me. Works fine in the Makita ecosystem. I'm considering getting the drill with the 2 batteries---because it's like getting a free drill for less than the cost of 2 batteries.

Works with Makita batteries. It’s as fast as my buddies $400 dewalt. I’ve already done all shoe molding and most of the case and base in an entire 2400 sqft house with it and have had no jams or issues. It has a light to shine on the work. It came with a good belt/ladder hook. It won’t fire when empty and tells you when your battery is getting low. Lasts more than one day on fresh 3.0ah battery. All of these electric nailers are a bit bulky but the weight fights recoil and helps sink the fasteners. Shoots 2” staples no problem. You need this tool and you’d be silly not to buy it. I hope they make a framing nailer soon.

Jams constantly, heavy even if u adjust depth it still can't penetrate l

This product is definitely crap don't buy this piece of junk, heavy ,jamming gun should be its name and after 3 uses the strike pin broke .Waste of time and money.

A bit on the heavy side compared to other brad nailers. Works well and convenient. Easier than setting up a compressor and running an airline. Great for small projects.

heavy to use 8 hours but for small trim projects is perfect

After months this stop working
