The Metabo HPT 16-Gauge 2-1/2" Cordless 18V Straight Finish Nailer (NT1865DMSM) allows the user to move easily around the jobsite without hoses or compressors! Equipped with Brushless motor technology and powered by a Compact 3.0Ah Lithium Ion battery, it is capable of driving up to 1,500 nails per charge. It employs a unique air spring drive system (similar to Metabo HPT's pneumatic line) that uses compressed air to drive each nail resulting in zero ramp up time, increased shooting speed, recoil that feels like a pneumatic nailer, quicker response time between drives, better flush driving - even at an angle, and easy maintenance if the need should arise due to fewer parts to manage. It also features a low battery indicator, selective actuation, tool-less jam release, tool-less depth of drive, variable position belt hook and LED light . This 16-Gauge cordless finish nailer drives nails from 1" to 2-1/2" in length and can be used for a variety of applications including chair rail, install molding, cabinetry and other finish applications.
