Review on πŸ”Œ Discover the Superiority of Metabo HPT NH90AB Over Molded Connectors by Michael Willis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Started skeptical. In the end I loved it.

I was skeptical of something that fits in the palm of your hand and can hammer in a nail. But I bought it because of the low price and the need to have something in cramped conditions. I could drive nails between the joists and under the floor, which I could never have done otherwise. I use a tiny portable air compressor I bought 15 years ago and the nail gun works like a champ. The hand nailer is very portable and can be used anywhere there is an extension cord. This is great for less strong people. My girlfriend uses it and thinks it's great. It took her some time to get used to the instrument. After acclimatization, she hammered nails, which she had great difficulty driving. Saved a lot of hassle. Two problems I found. (1) Sometimes the product will only leak air when the compressor is at low pressure. I unplugged it, waited for the compressor pressure to hit 100psi, and plugged it back in. (2) It's not as fast as me with a hammer and good shots. I can hit a 10p nail with four good hits. This thing is a little slower and I have to wait for the air compressor. However, there were too many times where I just didn't have room for a good backswing and the nailer drove it in way faster than me. Great for an attic. If you're buying for speed, buy a good $200 nail gun. If you need something for unusual places or working in less than ideal conditions, this is your tool. Highly recommended.
