Metabo HPT Framing Nailer, 21° Plastic Collated 2-3.5in, NR90AES1

Single project usage at time of review: Much lighter than expected, comfortable to use, easy to disassemble/re-assemble, and power adjustment is exceptional. I genuinely can’t find anything to complain about. From 2” nails at 85PSI TO 3 122” nails at 110 PSI, attaching 2x6s to pressure treated 4x4, heads seated flush. Exceptional value with high quality results.

I am thrilled that I got this framing nailer. I built a 10 x 12 shed by myself with plans from scratch (No kit) and this worked flawlessly. I saved a ton of money building the shed myself instead of hiring it out. I haven't built a shed in over 35 years and as tiring as it was, it was very satisfying doing it myself. I built it 16" on center and built my own trusses. I couldn't have done it without this nailer. I never had a jam or miss fire. Definitely a great buy.

This Nailgun exceed our expectations. My son is doing some remodeling on my home and had mentioned purchasing a Hitachi Nailgun (now made by Metabo) based on recommendations made by contractor friends of his who still use them daily. He told me that he was familiar with that particular Nailgun as he had used it before but couldn't remember the model number. Minimal research on my part quickly determined the Nailguns durability and it's performance is beyond question as evinced by the many accolades it has received over the years. As my son is doing the remodeling work per gratis, I felt a good start on "tokens of appreciation" would be to purchase a good nailgun for him to use (and keep). We had both owned Nailgun kits before made by another manufacturer and neither of us were pleased with them. I am a price-conscious shopper, but in this particular case it was less of a factor for obvious reasons After doing a substantial amount of research, I was debating between purchasing the older style Hitachi Nailgun (NR83A5 now branded Metabo) and this newer model Nailer offered by Metabo. At the end of the day I decided to purchase this newer model, thinking that if my son did not like it, I would just keep it and then purchase him the older style for him to use. I figured he couldn't lose either way and if this newer style, lighter Nailgun worked as well as the reviews said it would, he would be pleasantly surprised. I made the final decision based on the positive customer reviews I had read and the product specifications, including the weight. The substantially lower price factored in but not as much as it might have under different circumstances. I knew I would be using the Nailer on occasion and liked the idea that it was lighter, something that appealed to me after owning a different brand Nailgun that was much heavier and somewhat cumbersome. I also knew my son would be doing considerable overhead framing work at my home during the remodeling process with whatever Nailer I purchased and if the unit worked well, he would certainly appreciate the lighter Nailgun.. After talking it over with him and how it would play out if for some reason he was unsatisfied with the newer model Nailer, I ordered this nailer. We are both very pleased that I did! It has performed flawlessly. He has put over 2,000 nails through the gun without a single misfire or jam. I made note of the one complaint about the hanger that comes on the Nailgun being "too wide" to be of much use and ordered the $15 aftermarket kit that easily replaces it. While I am sure I would not have regretted purchasing the older style gun, I am glad that I got the newer model for him to use on my project. It is easier to maneuver in tight places and obviously easier to hold over his head constantly (at times). I don't normally write reviews, but figure this product was worth the time it took to let you know my experience.

My new favorite framing nailer this thing is so lightweight and comfortable to hold I look for excuses to bring this tool out. Most of my tools are cordless but this is easily better than any battery framer

Great framing gun, good value. Very light and has the adjustable modes very convenient and safe to switch. No rafter hook anywhere and thats a bummer. Even so this is my second one because I needed two and this has been my pick for about 15 years now.

I didn't want to spend a ton on a framing nailer since i only need one every couple months. Having bought metabo brad nailers and palm nailers, I knew it would work. It's a bit heavy and it has no sky hook. The good outweighs the bad. It fires clean and hasn't jambed like the dewalt and paslode before it. I bought a sky hook for 15 dollars and am happy to have it. I would have given a 5 star, but the weight and no hook are why I didn't.

This gun is AWESOME!!! No misfires ! Highly recommend!

when I was building a shed I got the advice to use a framing nailer to speed things up. after a lot of consideration and review I decided to go with this one mainly because of the affordability and the good reviews it already had. normally I prefer to have my tools from the same brand, but a bostitch framing nailer is quite more expensive and is very sensitive to the nails used I have experienced. this hitachi I got with the companion galvanized 2.5" framing nails 1000 count and I have 2 strips left after the shed is completed and it didnt jam a single time. with a 90psi setting on your compressor, this guy shoots in nails perfectly flush whether angled or straight. it did speed up my project and even with an unplugged 6gallon compressor you can shoot quite a few nails before it needs a charge. it is a little on the heavier side I found (just by its weight, but havent used any other framing nailer to compare however so it may just be what it is). I did buy some lubrication oil that I squirt in the air opening every use, not a fancy lubrication kit. I would want to recommend to buy or have a longer air hose for maneuverability, but this is not caused by the product obviously, but merely something that could have made the framing a little easier. the one "con" I would like to mention is that the nose is a little pointy, so wherever to point the nose you will see some dents around the nail. this for wall studding doesn't really matter as it is not visible, but for panelling for instance you can see that a bit (although easily fixible with some caulk afterwards). I believe there is a nose cap for it, but that is $20 or so!! I would have expected this to be part of the kit to be honest but hey... :)

Excellent framing nailer. Has not jammed or miss fired once since I bought it. Reasonably light and agile. Packs a punch when nailing into old hemlock fir.

Still cant seem to get it to work. It won't fire any nails, its set up correctly. Not sure where else to go here? Tried contacting the manufacturer but they are based in America and dont answer. Is there something that we are missing??

As Described

5000 nails without single jam
