[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received this nail gun as a gift for completing evaluations of other tools. I have used it a few times and it easily drives the finish nails. The big drawback is the weight. It's significantly heavier than my pneumatic nailer of the same gauge. For small jobs, not a big issue, for large jobs, I'll drag out the compressor, air hose and use the pneumatic nailer

Bad Quality Control
I ordered this online as it was not available in the store. upon reaching it I found that the battery or battery charger was not working. I tried taking it to a store to replace the battery or charger and they were unable to do that because this particular model is only available online and the battery/charger is unique to this model only. This was extremely frustrating because I have now lost literally an entire week of my personal time to complete the project I needed this nail gun for. At l...

The Trim Installer/Back Saver
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect For Trim, and quick fastening in Projects. Can’t hold a piece in place while you screw it in? Throw a finish nail in it to hold it. Want to install baseboards in half the time? You need one of these. No more lugging around That air compressor. It’s worth the money even if you just use it a few times a year.

Lightweight and works great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This nailer hasn’t failed for me yet after 2 years and is much nice to work with compared to having a pneumatic one. Would definitely recommend.

Shiplap with Ease
I am beginning to slowly replace my 19.2v Craftsman Tools with v20 tools due to the long, successful tenure of the past models. I began a shiplap project in the living room and was tired of running the mini compressor in the house (we have an infant.) I saw this nailer and bought it skeptically, as I’m using wood shiplap not PVC. The power is unbelievable- so make sure you do some test nails first to adjust the depth. The controls are intuitive, no jams thus far, and being hose free is fantastic...
Awesome Nailer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this nailer to trim around my kitchen and living room after putting down laminate flooring. I liked that it was battery operated, so no air hose and loud compressor running in the house. I did have to get used to the way it charges the load and shoots when trigger is pressed. Having formally used air nailers which shoot as soon as the trigger is pulled, but it was quick to get used to the short delay. The weight in hand is well balanced ...

Easy to use time-saver
I was shopping around trying to find the best option for my home projects I have going on right now. Which includes installing baseboards and quarter round. I decided on this cordless nail gun so I wouldn't have to bother with air compressor. I absolutely love this nail gun. Very easy to load the nails. The gun itself is kind of bulky, but it is not heavy. Very easy to handle and I really like the work lights on either side of where nails come out so you have good light no matter where you may...
Don't waste your money
Charged battery over night to use for building a closet the next day. Loaded nails, set depth, test shot a few nails, all was good. I shot all of maybe 75 nails and the unit misfired and jammed. Cleared the jam, reset the unit and no luck. Quit working. charged the battery again as suggested. No go. Loaded nails, apply to piece being nailed, pulled the trigger and all it does is click and both lights start blinking. After doing some research found this is a common problem and there have been mor...

Perfect and easy to use!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this over a month ago and I wanted to wait before posting my review. I like to use things multiple times before making my decision on how I like a product. I own multiple craftsman tools but not a finish nailer. I needed one to finish off my living room after redoing the floor. I used this for my trim and also for my quarter round. I must say that this nailer is great. Super easy to use and handle. Doesn’t give off much of a kick, and it ...

A real time saver!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first nail gun I have ever owned, but I am glad I chose this one. I love Craftsman tools. Growing up my dad always had craftsman tools. This was a no brainer to buy a cordless craftsman nail gun. I bought this to use on a bathroom remodel and to put trim down for new floors in bathroom and bedroom. It worked perfectly. I love the easy loading of the nails and also the work light to help see where you are nailing. The charge seems to...
