The NP18DSAL Pin Nailer is taking fine finish carpentry to the next level. No longer will you have to worry about hoses and compressor for your 23-gauge pin nailer needs. Please note, it is necessary to buy high quality pins to ensure the tool works as expected. Pins with lower grade metal can be less rigid and bend at the point of entry or bend at the point of impact from the tool. Each of these scenarios can cause the tool to jam or the pin not to penetrate the wood as anticipated, especially at longer lengths. Metabo HPT pin nails are manufactured to higher tolerances and perform better in our nailers. For best performance, use the following genuine Metabo HPT pins, available on . 1) 23000SHPT (5/8") 2) 23001SHPT (3/4") 3) 23002SHPT (1") 4) 23003SHPT (1 3/16") 5) 23004SHPT (1 3/8") It is equipped with a built-in counterweight that virtually eliminates all recoil, while reducing the force needed to actuate the tool.
