Metabo HPT Finish Nailer with Air Duster, Pro-Preferred Pneumatic Power Nailers, Ideal for Molding, Chair Rail, and Cabinetry, Lightweight 3.7 lbs, 16 Gauge, 1″ to 2-1/2″ Finish Nails, NT65M2S

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!

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

Have not used it yet. It appears to be good quality. It's not Milwaukee level but good enough for most tasks.

Very nice gun, replaced one that was 40 years old, worked just as well and feels great to use. Would buy this brand again with no hesitation

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.

The Metabo HPT NT65M2S is lightweight, powerful, and easy to handle. Perfect for trim, cabinets, and fine finishing work thanks to its precision and comfort. It includes a sturdy carrying case and works with 1” to 2-1/2” nails. Great value for both professionals and DIY users.

Works great & light in the hand.

Great stapler. Dropped one an broke it. The other we had quit working and it was cheaper to replace. These were used building 3 or 4 houses.

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.

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

Best nail gun.

Excellent travaille tres bien
