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 Darrell Sharp

Revainrating 4 out of 5

NuMax SBR50 - Good inexpensive brad nail gun.

I had a project of nailing a lot of T & G paneling between the ceiling floor joists in a basement remodel for our home and the thought of hand nailing was out of the question. Never used a pneumatic nail gun before so I read the reviews on numerous brad nail guns and was considering purchasing a more expensive name brand 18 gage 2-inch gun. Being a novice I was concerned of quality of the less expensive units but the reviews of the NuMax were good even from the pros. The price was right even if it only lasted for this one job I was doing. The unit did the job without a fuss and the only problem from time to time was that it misfired. Not sure if this happens to any nail gun. This gun did not leave any noticeable dents from bounce back in the soft pine paneling I was installing which was a concern I had from some of the reviews. I do wish this came with a case option. I would recommend this to a friend.

Pros
  • Nailer doesn't have a rubber tip so it bruses the wood
Cons
  • Expensive replacement parts
