NICE!

Very nice gun. It functioned beautifully. It countersunk the nails as designed with no problems. It sure saved me a lot of time.

So far, so good

Used it a few times. It works great. Hoping it will last. The cushion head is a little large, but it is removable.

Metabo Does It Again

Would Recommend

Metabo always impressed me with their affordable air nailers. I have 3 different nailers from them and will continue to grow my collection. I've driven 5,000 finish nails so far without a single jam or miss feed. I oil the tool before each use.

Metabo is a brand I trust wholeheartedly! Love that it came with a carrying/storage case! Metabo = you can't go wrong.
