Review on Grex 1850GB 18 Gauge Power Tools by Eric Pavelko

Like my size 23 Grex nailer, this size 18 nailer works perfectly. It definitely costs more than most other nailers, but it makes up for it in performance. I've driven a few thousand nails in it and only pushed it in once, and that's just because I caught a metal corner of the drywall. I've used it to install baseboards and find it very satisfying to cover up pin-sized holes made with nails. I really like that the hammer doesn't hit the material and just leaves a nail-sized hole. It's lightweight and feels like it's built to last. Switching from sequential to rapid fire is as easy as moving a small lever. Oh, and the locking feature is amazing (very few guns have them, and if you're like me you'll shoot half a dozen holes before you realize you don't have nails). If you want a quality nailer, pay the extra $100 and buy this one. You will be very glad you did.
