Cloueuse à chevilles Metabo HPT, calibre 23, 18 V, 1 3/8 po

Won’t shoot more than a couple pins without jamming. Stopped using it. It’s unfortunate since I have all metabo hpt nailers. It’s not convenient to have multiple brands for cordless. But this pin nailer can just sabotage quality and momentum on a job.

I've had this for a little over a year and thought it was going to be an integral part of my tool kit. In fact, it's the worst nailer I've ever used. Heavy hole for a pin gun, shoots maybe 1-in-10 pins correctly and without jamming. The worst thing is since this is a fine finish gun, those failures are impacting high-end cabinetry and wood projects. I've ditched it entirely. Better to know an 18g will go correctly and have a single hole to correct than to shoot 10 holes and still have no fastener.

I have barely shot 20 nails and it has jammed 10 times with one time breaking the pin. I now have a new pin and same problem. Junk. I own several hitachi guns both air and 18v with not issues. This however has a major design flaw. Stay away.

I recently purchased the Metabo HPT NP18DSALT 18V MultiVolt™ Cordless Compact 23-Gauge Pin Nailer for a project that involved installing 3/4" solid oak, and while the tool has a lot of great features, it didn't quite live up to my expectations of Metabo HPT tools. The brushless motor is efficient, and with the 3.0Ah battery, I was able to drive up a few hundred pins per one charge without any issues, making it ideal for longer sessions. The built-in counterweight helped minimize recoil, and the no-push safety tip ensured a clean finish with minimal marring. I also appreciated the tool-less depth of drive adjustment, which allowed for precise flush drives. The high-luminance LED light was helpful, especially when working in low-light conditions, and the soft grip handle made the tool comfortable to hold during extended use. However, despite these positive features, I’ve encountered some significant issues with this nailer. After using it for several months, I’ve found that it frequently misfires and jams. I’ve only used Metabo HPT’s 23-gauge nails and made sure the rails were clean to avoid any feed issues, but I still faced problems with the nailer jamming and breaking the nail sets after multiple tries. One frustrating issue is the anti-dry-fire safety feature, which stops the tool from firing when there are only about 5 nails left in the magazine. This causes wasted nails since I can’t load a fresh strip behind them without triggering a feed jam. When a jam does occur, clearing it isn’t quick or easy. It requires removing four screws, two plates, and the non-marring tip, which is time-consuming and annoying. I also found the LED light to be nearly useless. It’s so dim that you can barely see it unless you’re working in complete darkness. While the tool is light, compact, and easy to use, the constant misfires and jams make it difficult to rely on for regular, heavy-duty work. For a tool that’s supposed to help with precision tasks like fine carpentry, these reliability issues are a major drawback. On the plus side, the battery life is fantastic. I haven’t needed to recharge the battery after about 200 nails, and it still shows a full charge. The fact that the tool comes with two different non-marring tips is a nice touch, and the built-in 3mm hex key holder is convenient when I need to perform quick maintenance. Overall, when the nailer works, it performs well. But with the frequent jams, misfires, and issues with the anti-dry-fire feature, I can’t recommend it for anyone who needs a reliable tool for professional or frequent use. I’ve struggled with it enough that I’m considering switching to a different brand on this particular tool, especially now that other cordless options are hitting the market. For the price, I expected a tool that wouldn’t give me these headaches, and sadly, I don’t think I’d buy it again. I hope Metabo HPT considers feedback on this tool and re-engineers from the bottom up on this tool.

I bought this almost a year ago and it has handled everything Ive thrown at it. I got all sorts of sizes of Pin nails for it and it drives up to 1-3/8" Pins really well! Its fairly light and easy to work with.
