Best Framing Nailer Ever, or Did I Just Waste $579? Metabo HPT

I am in love! This is the all-new Metabo HPT framing nailer, and it is awesome! Let me show you what it can do. I'm shooting 3-1/4-inch nails into two pieces of LVL. That is impressive! Raise your hand if you enjoy the sound of an air compressor or tripping over air hoses. The Metabo is cordless. It's powered by a 5 amp-hour, 36-volt battery. This is not an ad. I've been waiting forever to get one of these, and when I finally found one, I drove an hour and a half to get it. And they're not cheap. I paid $579 before tax. Overall, I'm really impressed. It's even got a bump-fire mode. Just hold down this button, and once it starts to blink, you can bump fire. This thing is fast! Metabo says it can shoot six nails per second. Let's give it a try. This nailer is so good, I think it deserves the highest award any tool can get: the much-coveted Haus Plans battery sticker. @hausplans #build #tools #howto #construction #contractor
