Metabo HPT 18V MultiVolt Cordless 21° Framing Nailer Kit, 3-1/2" Plastic Strip Framing Nailer with Power Tool 4.0Ah Lithium Ion Battery, Drives 2" to 3-1/2" Nails, NR1890DRST

I have been using this framing nailer for projects here and there over the last year and have been impressed with the reliability and convenience of this tool. I used it redecking the roof on my house, framing a dog kennel, and building a few walls. The power is sufficient enough to drive into the old oak lumber in my house adding studs or walls where needed. The 2.0ah batteries last ok but if your up on the roof I suggest opting for the 4.0ah batteries. They have a good life but I apologize that I didn't pay more attention to the time to give a more accurate analysis. I have run almost 2000 nails through this and have only had 1 nail bend that I had to take the head apart to get it out. I have had a hand full of nails that didn't drive all the way and some of those was because I was trying to nail to fast or didn't have sufficient pressure against the nailer. I don't know if I would get this if I needed to frame all day every day but it works fantastic for projects around the house or especially out on the property away from the house. The price was steep for something you don't use often but when looking at other red or yellow models this one has better deals making it a better value. All in all I would highly recommend this nailer and when or if the time comes I need to replace it, I will be getting this one again.

I'm a retired general contractor. I have many pneumatic nail guns. I needed this gun because I didn't have enough power to run my compressor at a distant location of my property. This nailer is 99% perfect. It works perfect, it is as heavy as one of my old brutal Hitachi gun. I used this gun a lot and I still on the first charge. It does not turns of automatically for a long time. I saw some complains about it. I guess they fixed it. Minus 1% is because it is very hard to see the super tiny LED lights on the control panel.

Excellent quality product. It’s powerful. Very quite air motor. Read the user’s manual. It’s important to understand how it works

Five stars without hesitation! Perfect functionality, premium materials, and long-lasting results. Hassle-free returns policy. Speedy delivery with tracking. Exceeded all expectations—worth every penny!

Works perfect

This happens far too often. I can opt for open box and get a discount or new and pay more. I usually opt for new because open box can mean anything, pristine to parts missing and or broken. As nailers can be touchy and easy to screw up if you don't know what you are doing, I want new, untouched, unopened, unjammed, undropped, etc. What I got was a box taped every which way, manhandled in shipping, and obviously used and abused. Looks new but loose in the box and looks like someone could not figure out how to work it (god forbid you read the instructions) and forced the power on button. This review should be about the nailer. I love my other Metabo nailers and hope to find this one as good, reliable and competent as the others. Sorry I have to give it a low rating based on out of the box impression that wasn't Metabo's fault.

Bought for several projects, two bathroom installs, bedroom install, and other light products. Works well.

Hasn't even let me down once put close to 5000 nails through it. Heavy? Sure. But considerably lighter than any one I have used that needs to ramp up. This gun fires clean and consistent. Absolutely the best nail gun I have ever used. (I own a 16, 18 gauge paslode, a bostitch 21 framing, the ryobi 18 and 23, a 16, 18, 20 craftsman, and the 15 metabo)
