First on branding. Metabo (a German manufacturer of power tools) was acquired by Hitachi back in 2016. Hitachi started labeling many of their tools with the Metabo name, anywhere you would use a 23 gauge tool - I mainly use it around the outside corners of the molding to hold them while the glue dries (to make sure they never come loose).Since the pins have no heads I wouldn't recommend it as a primary nailer for finishing carpentry work.Ultra light, easy to use, comes with a pouch Here's the downside, you have to use the included hex key to adjust the depth of the pen, I found that the pen m It wasn't flush on the default setting - I had to set the nib to "maximum depth" so the pen sat just below the surface. I would still buy it again - good value for money - just be aware that you will probably need to adjust the depth to get the pins flush.
