Review on Metabo HPT NR83AA5 Framing Nailer by Chris Moody

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Ignore the trigger and the useless and annoying hook

This new trigger setup is terrible. in single fire mode. I have to take my finger completely off the trigger before I pull the trigger to fire the nail. If I touch the trigger even a little bit before the trigger is fully pulled, it won't fire and I have to reset the trigger and try again. My nr83a3 is not like that. It works great even if you keep your finger on the trigger while driving nails. Switching to Aim Mode will of course fix the issue, but there are times I prefer not to set Aim Mode. My only other issue is the hook they provide with it. You'd think they'd already come up with a hook design that's not just bulky and in the way, but that's definitely not the case.
