WEN18-Gauge 3/8-Inch to 2-Inch Pneumatic Brad Nailer - Compatible with Any Air Compressor - (61721)

The 18-gauge brad nailer has been a fantastic addition to my DIY toolkit. This brad nailer handles nails from 3/8 inch to 2 inches, offering great versatility for a variety of projects. The included carrying case and 2000 nails make it a complete and convenient package, perfect for getting started right away.One of the things I like most about this nailer is its consistent performance. It drives nails smoothly and accurately, ensuring a professional finish every time. The tool is easy to load and use, with a comfortable grip that reduces fatigue during extended use. The adjustable depth control is a great feature, allowing for precise nail placement depending on the material.The only minor downside is that it can be a bit loud, but this is expected with pneumatic tools. Wearing ear protection easily solves this issue.The nailer is a highly reliable and efficient tool for any DIY enthusiast. Its versatility, ease of use, and included accessories make it an excellent investment for both small and large projects. Highly recommended for anyone looking to achieve precise and professional results.

I took this Brad Nailer out of the box, put 5 drops of the included oil into the air connection port and loaded it with 1" SS brads. I set the air compressor to 60 PSI and started nailing two pieces of 5/8" fence picket wood together. It worked like a charm, no adjustments needed. Single trigger pulls worked fine. Next I held the trigger depressed and tapped the nose in several places in rapid fire. Once again flawless. It is well made feels sturdy and weighs just about nothing. The hand grip is soft and very comfortable. This only confirms why this is the 7th tool I've purchase from this manufacturer over the last two years for my woodshop. Yes, I have several yellow tools and red tools, but this manufacture makes tools available at an affordable price, that I may not be able to buy otherwise.

My DeWalt died. I was unable to spend the money for another DeWalt. I have many other wen products. Reviews were good. Got to me in two days. Fits in my DeWalt case and is very similar. Feels and looks good. Easy to adjust and works well. I happy with this wen product for the money.

I may update my review after I have had some use time but for now it seems to work pretty well. Some of the parts such as the little penetration adjustment wheel have that chinese hard plastic feel and it is a little lose but OK. The unit is a little heavier than I expected and time will tell if I go back to the air guns. However, the portability of this should be a plus for those odd jobs when I don't want to pack around the compressor or don't have power at hand. The nail door slide has a good solid feel to it as if it will accurately feed the nails.I have a whole collection of air guns but bought this one for a pretty large trim project to dispense with hoses and the noise of the compressor. Wen seems to make or have made good tools for a competitive price equaling good value so I trust them enough to give them a go when I buy something new.All of my stuff is another tradesman brand but that brand's brad nailer is much heavier, did not get good reviews and is more than twice as expensive so Wen gets a try this time.

Outstanding and a wide range of braid nails. Wonderful design, speed and power. Very glad I bought this braid nailer.

. Very nice product. Works straight from the box. Easy to use. Great for finishing jobs as well as installation jobs. Battery holds its charge. Does not make as much noise as regular air guns. Great tool to have.

The media could not be loaded. This is my 2nd WEN product (first was a chainsaw) and I'm impressed with both.I use brad nails a lot and this is my 4th brad nailer having gone through 2 Porter Cables and 1 Hitachi. So I use them a lot and have good experience to compare. I did some rapid fire aggressive testing on this nailer and its a keeper. Read on for my impressions.-- NO JAMS and CONSISTENT DEPTH: I did a rapid fire test sing 1.5" brad nails into a 2" thick fir. See the video. The gun never jammed and the nails drove in consistently.-- ALL METAL NAIL SLIDE: Why is this important you ask? Doing the same test as in the video on a Hitachi brad nailer, I blew out the bottom of the slide when a nail jammed. See the attached photo showing the section of the slide blown out during a jam. I mention this because the Hitachi had a plastic nail slide and the Wen is an all metal nail slide. I feel much better with the WEN just removing a jam vs destroying the nailer.-- 360 ROTATABLE EXHAUST: Its important to direct the air away from you and the work piece. See the attached picture. Both for comfort and to keep excess exhaust oil (yes some of us put a few too many drop in now and again) from getting on a work piece. A few day ago with another nailer without adjustable exhaust I had to cover the head with a rag to keep oily air off the work piece. So this feature is important and I happy the WEN built it in.-- NAILS LOADED WINDOW: I love this feature. I quick glance allows me to see the nails remaining.-- SOFT RUBBER HANDLE: The handle is very soft and make for a comfortable hold and protects your hand from the occasional jarring impact when nailing.-- TIP LEAKED AIR: Not all is perfect. When I attached my WEN to the air hose it leaked air profusely out the connection. The WEN comes with a steel inlet. I swapped it out for a brass inlet with a subtly different shape (see the attached picture comparing the WEN to the replacement) and the connection was then tight with no air leaks.Conclusion: Great nail gun and a great value. The only minor issue was an air leak at the tip and thats not one that would prevent be from providing a 5 star review. The only think I cant review is longevity and Ill report back after some use. Buy it, you cant go wrong!

Really nice Brad nailer; good value. At first blush it felt comfortable in the hand with good weight. Worked well and reliably. Dropped it twice from about 5 feet - no apparent damage and kept operating with no issue. Came with oil. I recommend it and believe it’s a nice little tool considering the price.
