  • Works great

Very good tool. Works better than I expected

  • Impressive. I'm a convert!
Style: Metabo HPT NH90AB Palm Nailer
Being a hammer and pneumatic nailer kind of Real Man, I always thought palm nailers were an unnecessary tool in search of a problem. But, I ran into a situation recently where the 3" galvanized framing nails I needed to attach barn trim boards under a 10" eve were not seating all the way with the framing nailer, and I couldn't effectively hammer or punch the nails flush manually due to the overhanging fascia. This tool arrived the next day, and my girlfriend, who is generally unskilled with a hammer, was even able to finish seating the proud nails with this palm nailer after just a few minutes of experimentation. She seemed to actually enjoy it. We finished the barn trim with this tool and it saved me a ton of frustration and time. Also, I have neuropathy from a prior biceps surgery that can make swinging a hammer a rather painful affair. This thing avoids the nerve pain I would normally get from gripping a hammer. I especially love the feature where, when driving a nail, the palm nailer screams to a stop leaving just enough nail exposed for you to make a decision about pulling it, running a sting off of it, or committing to completely nailing it. Additionally, the swiveling hose connector is a nice upgrade that'll save you $10 if you were to buy your own. That'd be 20% of the cost of this unit, which is priced very well for a professional tool. Some things to consider: The tool will quickly drive a nail to flush, and even a little recessed. If you're not careful, it can beat up the face of the wood pretty quickly. It's probably not designed for finish/trim work, unless you develop a really fast reflex for it. Also, it's really loud - your neighbors might think it's automatic gunfire if they're skittish! You should wear hearing protection. Finally, if you're not accustomed to pneumatic nailers you may not be aware that tools like this need pneumatic tool oil. After dripping a few ml of tool oil into the air connection, you should drive a few nails, remove the rubber palm swell and wipe up excess oil to keep it from getting all over your hand. One thing I wish I could find for this thing is a rafter/ladder hanger hook. It seems like it'd be an easy thing to design to fit at the base of the hose connector. There are quality hanger hooks available for other Metabo HPT nailers, but I think I'll have to hack one together for myself. ... show more

  • Good power and smooth
Style: Metabo HPT NH90AB Palm Nailer
The magnet holds nails in very well. The tool drives the nail smoothly and with plenty of power. The tool is light and has a nice rubber cover, and it's smooth to operate. It's fast and smooth. Air pressure adjustment is needed to match the job. The anvil that hits the nail head can and will extend out past the guide tube if you keep pressing down, which means the nail can be driven well into a countersink position. Holding the tool over an existing nail and pressing will countersink a nail that's already there. Controlling the depth takes practice. It's easy to get a nice flush nail set, and easy to countersink it afterwards if desired. As long as the nail head fits in the tube, you're good to go. Don't use a nail without a head. Finishing nails get jammed inside between the anvil and tube. I especially like the swivel air fitting and would not buy a similar tool without the swivel. ... show more

  • Pay attention to what you are doing
Style: Metabo HPT NH90AB Palm Nailer
When I buy a new tool. I actually read the directions and look it over the test it. You should do the same. DO NOT PUSH THE PLUNGER DOWN ON YOUR HAND OR FINGER. I did and It left two very painful back and blue circle bruises on my palm. There is no power button on this. It is activated by pressure, meaning when you push down on a nail, it begins the "jack-hammer" effect and sets the nail in under 2 seconds. ALSO, I assumed that the cylinder tip was magnetized to hold the nail. It is not, but it is not difficult to hold the nail until the nailer pounds it a few times. This seems like a good tool and even works well with a small compressor. ... show more

  • Awesome

Absolutely awesome. I have nerve damage to my hands that doesn’t allow me to drive a nail anymore. Well now that problem is solved. Great tool!

  • Started skeptical. Ended up loving it.
Style: Metabo HPT NH90AB Palm Nailer
I was skeptical something that fits in the palm of your hand could drive in a nail. But I bought it because of the inexpensive price and the need for something in tight quarters. I've been able to put in nails in-between joists and under subfloors that I would never been able to do otherwise. I'm using a teeny-tiny portable air compressor I bought 15 years ago, and the nailer runs like a champ. The palm nailer is very portable and can go anywhere you can get an extension cord. This is great for less strong people. My girlfriend uses it and thinks it's great. It took her a while to get comfortable with the tool. Once acclimated, she was driving in nails that she had a very hard time hammering in. Saved a lot of anger. Two issues I've found. (1) Sometimes the item will just leak air if the compressor has low pressure. I unplugged it, wait for the compressor to reach 100psi, and plug back in. (2) It's not as fast as I am with a hammer and good swings. I can hit an 10 penny nail in with 4 good swings. This thing is a little slower, and I have to wait for the air compressor. However, there have been too many times where I just don't have the room to get a good swing, and the palm nailer drives it in much faster than I can. Great for the attic. If you are buying for speed, get a nice $200 nail gun. If you want something for odd places, or working in less than ideal conditions, this is your tool. Highly recommended. ... show more

  • Great Tool
Style: Metabo HPT NH90AB Palm Nailer
This thing is great. I have used it to nail some joist hangers, some of which were in really tight spots, and to drive some other nails. I only have a pancake compressor, and while it ran fairly often, it kept up with my pace. I had it set to a little above 80 psi. The palm nailer is comfortable to use and very quick. Some of my 16d nail heads didn’t fit all the way into the opening, but the nailer still worked on them without much issue, though I started a couple with a hammer. This tool does require pneumatic tool oil, just like most (if not all) other air tools. ... show more
