About SKIL PWR CORE 20 Brushless 20V 18Ga Brad Nailer Kit
Overall Feedback:
78% positive
96% appreciated the adjustable depth control, though 4% found it limited
I have compared the firing mechanism of this SKIL brad nailer with a pneumatic tool and noticed a split second delay as the tool winds up to fire the brad. I have also compared it with my Metabo HPT brad nailer and it fires instantaneously with trigger pull.
97% appreciated the easy loading and unloading, while 3% struggled with the process
The firing of the brad is significantly different than a pneumatic. With a pneumatic, the brad fires immediately with the trigger pull. This SKIL brad nailer has a split second delay as the tool winds up to fire the brad. In comparison, my Metabo HPT brad nailer fires instantaneously with trigger pull just like a pneumatic. This SKIL nailer takes some getting used to as I can't go as fast it's easy to pull the tool away too soon due to the delay in firing, causing brads to not sink entirely.
74% liked the quiet operation, though 26% found it excessively loud

98% found it to be a high-performance nailer, but 2% experienced jamming issues
I compared the performance of this SKIL brad nailer with my previous pneumatic nailer and Metabo HPT brad nailer. Firing a brad is significantly different than a pneumatic. With a pneumatic, the brad fires immediately with the trigger pull. This SKIL brad nailer has a split second delay as the tool winds up to fire the brad. In comparison, my Metabo HPT brad nailer fires instantaneously with trigger pull just like a pneumatic. This SKIL nailer takes some getting used to as you can't go as fast it's easy to pull the tool away too soon due to the delay in firing, causing brads to not sink entirely.
96% found it to be lightweight and portable, but 4% found it too heavy
I find this SKIL brad nailer quite heavy, almost one and a half pounds heavier than my cordless Metabo HPT nailer, which could make it difficult to carry or maneuver.
