Just got the Metabo HPT 18 ga. It works ok but leaves a large jagged nail hole bigger than my 16ga. Paslode & Bostitch. More work to fill nail holes. I think I will be returning it.
I just bought my metabo nail gun. Tried it out before I bought it. Makes a bigger hole than Milwaukee one but I was able to adjust that by filing the firing pin narrower and it makes a better hole. Only thing I don’t like is the safety set up. Waaaay lighter than the Milwaukee and the biggest pro for me is that you can refill the chamber with air unlike the Milwaukee. Every time my Milwaukee’s needed recharging they just gave me a new tool lol. I’m impressed with the Metabo so far. Weight for me was a big issue. It doesn’t have dry fire lockout and the light stays on all the time too.
This was s helpful review! Could you do a comparison on the 15 guage makers?
Thank you! Sure, I am hoping to do one in the future.
Great review! Did you consider adjusting the depth setting on the Metabo HPT to sink the nailers further? I wonder if it would have improved the bump-fire results, but resulted in more surface marring in single-fire mode.
I adjusted them as best I could before that test, but it always seemed like adjusting did very little. The Milwaukee adjustments were far superior and easier to dial in.
@@UltimateToolReviews Thanks for the update!
@@cobuck4007 Thanks for watching!
It will. Metabo HPT 18g Brad nailer blow the Milwaukee nailer out of the water.
I just bought the Metabo and used it today and had sinking issues even though I didn’t rapid fire. Very disappointed.
You (or anyone) have experience with the new Kobalt xtr brad nailer?
I've had the gen 1 and 2 Milwaukee's. Gen 1 was a nightmare and gave it away, gen 2 has been back to Milwaukee 3 times. I can't have my tools down for more than a couple days so bought the Metabo as a back up, but it's my main brad nailer now, even above my air guns. Super light and compact compared to the Milwaukee, barely bigger than my air guns. You do really have to hold it tighter to the workpiece than the M18, or it will leave the nail proud, and the 2 second lockout is annoying AF. That said it's been way more reliable and the weight and size makes a huge difference.
The 2 second lock out and the auto turn off timer on the nailers is what made me get rid of my hikoki/metabo
2 second lock out? Have the previous version not really a big deal@@tomc3965
Metabo is charged with compressed air, if you increase psi it sets nails more.
Filler valve is available from metabo vs Milwaukee uses nitrogen.
As for the Metabo not seating nails you might need to adjust the depth with the wheel...as for it being quieter then the Milwaukee. Unless I'm working in a funeral home while a funeral is going on, that isn't a factor in going to consider.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing about the depth.
Or Maybe try using your right hand for both guns.
Very informative video (particularly how you cover the small details of both nailers). However, unless you are dexterous, I think that demonstrating the results of a nailer while using your left hand if you are naturally right handed (not saying you are) will alter the results. Something to keep in mind both for viewer and content producer.
To be fair on build quality, your Milwaukee broke inside 5 weeks lol.
At 7:40 i bet the reason the video cut is bc he opened the latch with the nails still in it and they shot out when he opened the latch😂 i did it too when i first got mine😂
I've been using the M18 for about 3 years now, and never once put it in bump fire mode, and I've never seen anyone else do it either. It's a finish nailer, so you line up a good shot where it's going to go in clean.
I do like the Hitachi. I've used it. I always hold the M18 upside down when doing base so I can criss cross the nails onto the studs, and the Hitachi is more comfortable for that. I've no need to buy a second 18g nailer, though. Maybe if the M18 lives past warranty then breaks I'll try the other one
I am glad I was able to put it in bump fire for the review, gotta push it to the limits!
Why do you have such a big battery on the metabo
I’m thinking of adding a 16 gauge Makita to my collection. It still costs more than a Metabo that comes with battery and charger. But… it’s the extra quality measure that keeps me leaning towards Makita. Great review.
Don't do it, Makita has never got nail guns down. Go Metabo.
I'm a makita fan and I wouldn't go makita for nailers they need to come out with new guns
I went with a pair of 16 and 18 Ryobi nailers. They’re both doing really good. 👍
Metabo's still better than Ryobi...
I love the metabo’s design and wish it had the same build quality as Milwaukee
Will the Metabo work on baseboards? Door casings etc?
Sure, it gets the job done!
My Metabo 18g cordless never fails to fully seat a nail unless im shooting at an extreme angle. I have a few other brands (DeWalt, Craftsman, Kobalt) and the Metabo is my personal go-to but the Kobalt is actually really good too. The DeWalt and Craftsman both kind of suck to be honest and I hate saying that about a DeWalt tool but it is what is
Same here. My metabo will leave a nail flush every now and then buy I've never had a single nail sit as proud as he was having them. Either operator error or a faulty gun
I bought the metabo because it came with 2 batteries and it was 200 dollars cheaper. The metabo is just as good as milwaukee and a much better deal. The 23 gauge pin nailer is a different story iv heard of all sorts of issues with the metabo 23 gauge and everyone loves the milwaukee M12 pin nailer
I have the Metabo 18 gauge, and M12 23 gauge. Your comment is completely accurate
The operator matters when you did the teat o. Bumpfire. The 1lb weight diff also mayters
Mikuakee brad nailers have been a nightmare . For me . Ive had them stop working multiole nailers multiple times even when new .
Didn't touch the depth settings so very poor comparison
the Metabo is better build Quality by far I own Both these nailers the Milwaukee is on its 3rd warranty the metabo no issues at all with it and it gets used the most plus it also got left out in teh rain by one of my employee's over the week end last week and still works no issues ..METABO has a superior IP rating on there internal electronics and motors and the body composition is rated for more impact resistance and set the depth properly on the Metabo your depth was not adjusted properly but the Milwaukee does have more power but Durability sucks and the Metabo is lighter and smaller and better warranty Life time on that nailer and they cover water damage or damage from moisture ..Milwaukee NO water damage o moisture damage coverage your not supposed to use any other there tools out side or on construction sites
