It’s rare that an item exceeds my expectations for it by such a wide margin. I spent a long time debating cordless nail guns. I went back and forth between proper framing hammers and finishing hammers and then of course. Brands. I settled on the metabo 15 ga finishing nailer and feel I made the right call.
Framing hammers shoot framing nails. They’re large, heavy and expensive. If you’re actually doing structural framing this is clearly what you need. But for everything short of framing out a house that’s not so clear. The geometry on a 15 ga finish nail won’t split even thin wood. But has enough rigidity to hold lumber in place. This past weekend I built a set of outdoor furniture and some dividers/Plant walls. I used the gun to hold structural members in place while I squared them and put in pocket screws. With out this gun the job would have taken twice as long. I think I shot around 450 2 1/2” nails on one charge (battery didn’t die. I just finished). The metabo is fast, relatively light and very powerful. I couldn’t be happier.
