Suitable For Cordless Nail Gun NTC0023

I had an older nail gun that had to use a compressor. It was a pain carrying the compressor around. For this privacy screen I was making in my condo (see video), it would have been very difficult to carry the compressor around and navigate the hose and have the compressor connected to an outlet and how to squeeze it through the tight areas. I can’t imagine doing this project with it. This cordless nail gun made it a lot easier. Other benefits I noted: - The instruction manual was A LOT less wordy than my previous one (see image). It used a lot more images and a lot less wordy paragraphs, which I really appreciated because it makes it very easy to read through before you use it. When it’s super wordy, sometimes I get overwhelmed and will delay working on a project until I feel like reading through all the paragraphs. - Most nail guns have the contact safety (thing you push against surface that allows you to pull the trigger), but this one has a light indicator. So you will see a little light when it’s pushed, which I thought was a nice addition. - It has a clip that you attach that could be used to put it on a tool belt or something while you are working. - Easier maintenance - for my old one, you had to put oil into it every now and then to prevent it from jamming. This one doesn’t have anything about that. Potential cons: - Does not come in a case. My old nail gun came in a case so you could keep the nails, instructions, etc all together. It would be nice to have a case for this so you could keep the battery with it. - It would be easier to accidentally trigger with this vs one with a compressor. For the compressor ones, I know that after I have disconnected it and I’m not worried about it going off when I’m putting it away. For this one, I would want to disconnect the battery when storing it just to be safe and again there is no case, so it won’t be easy to keep it together if it’s disconnected. Overall, I really liked it. I think if you don’t need a compressor for other things, this is a better option and a very good choice, even for beginners!

This nailer is efficient, does what its supposed to do and is easy to maneuver. It is a great buy for the price and works well for everything I would ever need it for. Curiously, it operates in the vertical and horizontal position but this one will not operate upside down. Perhaps some do but this one does not...small problem of no consequence. The battery charges quickly and has indicator lights to tell the remaining charge left...used it three days with no charging required.

I tested with staples and brads. They worked well with most wood used. The staples sometime need tro be tapped flush. That to me is a no big deal. Weight is good, battery as expected, adjustment for depth is great. I believe the great value for price.

I was looking for a reasonably priced alternative to a larger 15 ga nail gun, and this cordless 18 ga brad nailer was perfect. I bought it specifically to reinstall baseboards in a room where we ripped out carpet and installed vinyl planks. Dialed up to its maximum power setting, and using the supplied 1 1/4" brads, it handled the task of penetrating the baseboards and sinking the brads into the wallboard easily. It jammed only once in the coarse of driving about 50 brads, which is typical of nailers this size being pushed to their capacity limit. A tool costing twice the price could be expected to have about the same reliability, if you believe the online reviews. The jam was cleared with very little effort, requiring no tools and no disassembly of the tool. I simply picked the pretzeled nail out of the snout of the tool with my fingernail, and was back in business. Definitely recommend this tool to the casual home improvement hobbyist. Before putting the tool away after its intended use I was able to use it to strengthen an old rickety particle board file cabinet, well offsetting the initial cost of the tool compared to replacing the cabinet.

I purchased this item for a small DIY baseboard project. It worked fairly well and even though it didn’t always fire the brads deep enough I was reasonably satisfied with it at first. I tried to use it again a short while later and found that the battery wouldn’t charge. I contacted Neu Master customer support and they promised me a new battery, but they said that they wouldn’t have any in stock for about a month. I replied that I was willing to wait. Two months came and went, and ever since then they have not responded to any of my emails. I don’t believe they ever had any intentions of replacing my battery. I went back through to read some of their product reviews and this appears to be their standard practice - so my advice to potential buyers of this product would be to steer clear.

To be perfectly honest, I got this because I needed to change the glass and a window and thought it would be easier to nail the window stripping with a nail gun. It arrived on time for the job... But the gun itself was slightly disappointing. The battery did not fit properly into the charger so I had to continuously reset the battery during the charging. Also the gun did shoot the nails without fail but even at the highest power setting it would not set the nail so I had to come back the hammer and a nail set to finish the job. Not a big deal setting a window pane and a door but doing extensive trim work of any sort might require using a pneumatic nail gun instead.

Okay I got this last year for a Christmas present from me to me. So I've had it almost a year. I have used this a lot and it stays charged for whatever I need it for. I have used this thing for hours and it never stopped working in the middle of something and had to stop to charge the thing. It is a little heavy but it is well made, I have dropped this thing a lot and it still works. So I can say it is very durable. Okay in the reviews that I read before I purchased this I noticed that people were saying that the staples or brad's didn't go in all the way in. You just have to adjust it to the correct depth that you want it. When you press down hold it down firmly, if you hold it loosely the staple or brad is not going to go all the way in. I've only had a few jams but I put a little bit of wax that I use on my bandsaw blade on it and it seemed to clear it right up. And pretty much all the jams that happened was because I was in a hurry. I would highly recommend this product.

It's rare that I buy something and truly love it, but this is one of those. I do a lot of little DIY work around the house and got tired of dragging out my heavy, noisy air compressor whenever I wanted to tack some stuff together. You never know how well a cordless tool is going to work, but I am quite amazed at how good a job this thing does. Pros: Works $*#&ing awesome! I particularly love the staples. Drives brads and staples through everything I've thrown at is so far, from hardwood to Hardy board. Cons: 1. Damn heavy! 2. Not instant nailing like with an air gun. I think there's a very heavy spring the motor winds up then releases to drive the nails. Takes about 1-1.5 seconds from trigger pull to drive. 3. The safety switch can be very picky and the only real issue I have with it. Overall, one of the few tools I'm really glad I bought. So convenient and just plain works.
