Metabo HPT 16 Gauge Finish Nailer, Lightweight 1-2.5in, NT65M2S

Great nailer, good power, reliable feed. Only used once but no problems at all out of the box. Shot trim and casing around a door with every shot hitting and no blowouts or wanky behavior. I considered the cordless option but my experience with nailers is that compressor guns are reliable and dialing in the air pressure gives more control over the result.

Love this gun

Let me start by admitting that a tool called Metabo had me bracing for something that sounded more like a galaxy-conquering robot than a humble shop companion. I half-expected it to arrive with its own user manual in Klingon. But after poring over the rave reviews and seeing the wallet-friendly price, I decided to give it a shot—and I’m glad I did. Unboxing & First Impressions The packaging was straightforward, no ancient runes or secret decoder rings required. The unit itself feels solid and well-balanced—no wobbling or rattling parts, just a sleek, professional-grade air tool. Performance Hooked up to my compressor, it fired to life with a satisfying hiss. From loosening stubborn lug nuts to driving long screws, it tackled every task with ease. Even when I challenged it with a gnarly, rusted bolt, it didn’t break a sweat. Comfort & Handling The grip is ergonomic without being bulky, and the trigger response is smooth. After an afternoon of use, my hand felt fine—no cramps, no blisters, just that gratifying sense of “I’m in control.” Durability I’ve already put it through its paces—some accidental drops and plenty of gritty shop time—and it’s still running like day one. Clearly built to survive more than a few “oops” moments. Value For the performance you get, the price is shockingly reasonable. It’s the kind of tool that feels twice as expensive as it really is—and in a good way. Final Verdict If the name Metabo made you pause, don’t let it. This is an air-powered workhorse that’s user-friendly, tough, and priced right. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just upgrading your home workshop, it’s a tool you’ll be happy to keep around. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend!

Very happy with this tool. I’ve never used or owned a nailer before, but it was easy to set up in use and worked great. I had a large baseboard installation job to do and it sure beats bending over to use a hammer and countersink tool.

Very nice but a few minor issues. 1st-if using in an inverted position the next clip of nails hangs up on the magazine due to gravity and fails to feed causing misfires. Once I realize what was happening I unlocked the magazine and push the clip past the notch. Other issue-the round "guard" that must be pushed to shoot a nail is plastic and slippery making it difficult to toe nail as it slips and one cannot accurately place the nail. I think I can modify it and maybe file some teeth or notches so it can dig into the stud and does not skid. I placed many nails without issue but what I mentioned.

Works great. Easy to load and fairly lightweight. I use it all day on some jobs and have had it for some time and it has never jammed. The reason I bought it is because my old one was worn out and kept jamming costing me too much time on the job. I would buy this gun again. I especially like the air discharge at the top. Pull the button and it’s like a mini blow gun. Great for a quick clearing of the table or miter saw.

Good finish nails gun

Quality construction throughout. A workhorse that won’t let you down. This will be one you can hand down to your kids. Highly recommended.

Muy practica y liviana

Works like a nailer should. No jams yet, which is nice. Great for hanging doors. So far I’m not disappointed.

Best nail gun.

Great 16 gauge braid nailer, works awesome and super smooth, would buy it again.

Great nailer. Metabo is seriously under rated. Buy with confidence.
