About WEN 20V Max Cordless 18-Gauge Brad Nailer
Overall Feedback:
77% positive
86% appreciated the adjustable depth control, though 14% found it limited
The adjustable depth control is a great feature that allows for precise nail placement depending on the material.
I tried adjusting the air pressure from 60 to 100 psi but it had no impact on the performance.
88% liked the long-lasting battery life, but 12% found it too short
I used approximately 800 brads on a single charge of the battery, indicating that the battery life is good enough to complete a significant amount of work on a single charge.
I have been using the gun professionally for a month, using it 2 to 3 days a week on trim moldings.
I have used the device and experienced poor results, including jamming, double shots, and triple fire.
I noticed that the gun fires a shot crooked and the brad comes curling out the side of the work. This indicates a problem with the battery life of the power-brad-nailer.
The power-brad-nailer has a problem with battery life as the gun fires crooked and the brad curls out the side of the work.
89% praised the durable and low-maintenance design, though 11% experienced issues with wear and tear
I find the nailer highly reliable and efficient, indicating its durability.
I have used the device to run 200 1 inch brads through it, but the results were poor.
91% appreciated the easy loading and unloading
I find the tool easy to load and use, with a comfortable grip that reduces fatigue during extended use.
The depth adjustment works well, unlike some other reviewers' experience.
70% liked the comfortable grip and handling
I find the tool easy to load and use with its comfortable grip that reduces fatigue during extended use.
The handle is comfortable to hold and the safety lever has a rubber stop to prevent sliding on my wood project.
72% liked the quiet operation, though 28% found it excessively loud
I have not mentioned anything about the noise level of the power-brad-nailers.
The tool can be a bit loud, but it is expected with pneumatic tools.
The power nailer has a heavy recoil and sparks heavily every 2 or 3 shots. It also shoots 2 nails at once every 5 or so shots.
89% found it to be a high-performance nailer, but 11% experienced jamming issues
I have added the 18-gauge brad nailer to my DIY toolkit and it has been fantastic. It handles nails from 3/8 inch to 2 inches, offering great versatility for a variety of projects.
I had a poor experience with the device after running 200 1 inch brads through it.
I am disappointed with the performance of the power-brad-nailer. About 50% of the time, the brad remains 1/4 to 2 inches outside of the wood and about 15% of the time, two nails are fired: one goes in, and the other sticks out.
92% found it to be lightweight and portable
This power-brad-nailer is portable and a plus for odd jobs when I don't want to carry around a compressor or don't have power at hand.
I appreciate the convenience of the carrying case that comes with the tool, making it easy to carry and start working right away.
