It is an 18V cordless paper strip framing nailer.
It’s good for all kinds of construction framing, but it’s also very good for punching out work on a job site without needing a tank or hose.
Fasteners can be used with nails that have been cut at a 30 degree angle and have a round head. They can be from 2 inches long to 3.5 inches long.
There are two 1.5Ah batteries, a #2 Phillips bit, a bag, and a WH18DDX 18V compact impact driver in this kit. It comes with everything you need to get started.
This means that the drill driver weighs only 1.5 pounds, and the impact only weighs 1.78 pounds (2.6 lbs with 1.5Ah battery.
Impact has 1240 in-lbs of torque, 3,200 max RPM, and 4,000 max RPM. It can be used for a variety of things.
This is great because it runs on batteries. I have only used it for 10 minutes so far, but I think it’s great (I will update this in the next year if I have any problems). As soon as metabo wants me to buy another tool, I’d improve these.
2) Smaller/Lighter – to get into smaller places and 10 pounds is a little heavy above the head.
The new battery has 4AH instead of 3AH, which is a lot more powerful.
3) A better charger with a decimal readout/display and an estimated time to charge to full is easier to figure out than the one that doesn’t have this.
4) It should be able to use nails that are 1″ to 3.5″ long. This would make the tool more versatile.
It shows how to load, clear a jam and charge. This is number 5. (since the current battery chargers is not intuitive.
6) The price is too high. If you cut the price in half, I think having this one is a no-brainer. In that case, I’d buy it for even $50 more.
To clear a jam more quickly, you don’t have to pull out an allen wrench I lost and remove four screws to take it apart.
You can also geolocate the tool from your smartphone. This is a good thing because how many times have you started a project and couldn’t find the right tool. Apps for iOS and Android that show where all of my Metabo tools are could also help sales, make it easier to buy more tools and get discounts.
The current design is good, but it could be better if you looked at the 8 things above. It drives nails quickly and deeply with the ability to quickly change. Had a hard time finding nails that were 3.5″ long with a 30 degree off-set head. If you had a smartphone app that could be solved quickly or even a 3D barcode that I could scan to order the right nails and watch a video, that would have been very helpful. However, this is a lot better than having to use a hammer.
