Hitachi NP35A 1-3/8" 23 Gauge Pin Nailer

Seems fine. Have only used it on one small project. Cons, if you use the no mar tip, pins won't fully seat. leaves the pins proud of workpiece. If you remove the no mar tip, pins seat properly but you have to be careful about touching the nose to the workpiece as it will mar the workpiece. Pros, it works. Small pins leave a barely visible mark in workpiece.

At max 100 psi and with the nose adjusted to full depth and freshly lined out of the box this nailer wouldn't drive pins flush into a 2x4. Tried both 5/8” and 1” pins. Shot about 100 pins each. Not one would drive flush or under the surface, protruding pins are no bueno. Pretty disappointed, returned.

I only gave it three stars because it does not penetrate hard woods completely sinking the head. Tried it on numerous pieces of hard wood and never did sink the heads. Made depth adjustments and it did not make a difference. I was using 100psi air going to the pin nailer.

Have been using this pin nailer for custom cabinetry work for several weeks now and it has performed flawlessly. Puts nails exactly where I want them, has not jammed or misfired once, and depth was easy to set. No complaints at all. Would definitely recommend.

I needed a pin nailer for a cabinet project, but I had already gone over budget. The Metabo 23-Gauge Pin Nailer was at an affordable price and it worked perfectly. The nailer comes with a nice vinyl case with space to store several boxes of pin nails and the included safety glasses.
