Review on Lightweight And Ergonomic Pneumatic Brad Nailer - NuMax SBR50 - Reload Indicator And 18-Gauge 2" Straight Brad Gun For Trim, Moulding, Baseboard, Doors, And Handrails by Brad Cash

Revainrating 3 out of 5

A no-frills tool for my opinion

Postives:- Light, easy to handle- Very few jams- Easy trigger pull- Accepts longer brads (up to 2", although I haven't used any over 1-3/4")Negatives:- No adjustment mechanism for the depth to which the brads are driven, which is a feature that is quite handy. Even the comparable Central Pneumatic brand (Harbor Freight) brad nailers have this feature.- No rubber foot on the contact point--the tool WILL leave a dent after the brad is driven. With the proper technique (it takes some practice), the mark can be minimized.- Male air coupling provided with the tool did not engage correctly with the female fitting on the air hose. The result was a slow leak that caused the air compressor to cycle frequently, even when the tool was not being used (quite annoying with an oil-free compressor in a small room). Use matching coupling components (i.e., same brand) to eliminate the problem.

Pros
  • Just what I needed, used on several jobs good to go.
Cons
  • Low speed
