Thanks for the thorough walkthrough. I just bought my first exact hitachi model nailer. You are a great teacher. What would be awesome is to include a video to show how to unjam if others have problems. I know you will not because I did exactly as you and bought Hitachi nails. Thanks for being a constructive teacher to many, to include myself.💯👍👍👍😉

Invaluable information!! Just got the same gun, now Metabo brand. Never owned a nail gun before. This was extremely helpful. 👍🏻👍🏻

I just bought a Hitachi (now Metabo HPT) brad nailer (slightly different model) and read through the instructions that seem to be the pretty much the same as what you were reading. Excellent demonstration of the nailer. Just what I was looking for.

This is my first Nail Gun as well. I went step by step with you on this. This will be perfect for molding work over my head and base boards. You Boosted my confidence HOOAH!!!!

I watched this video the first time I bought the nailer and it was a big help. It has been over a year since then when I last used my nailer and it wasn't firing . I looked up this video again and walked through everything and bang! It worked! Thanks a bunch!

Yep, and the pneumatics are half the weight, which I prefer. Really enjoyed your presentation style. Thanks for the fantastic review!

That was a really awesome video. Thank you for helping me out with my OWN first nail gun!!

Awesome tutorial, please tell me I’m not the only person who thinks this is a live action Hank Hill.

Thanks for a great video! I appreciate your taking your time to explain everything and not talking too fast.

Great vid. I bought the gun today. I love it so far. Thanks for the remarks.

Thank you for that! I was winging it and after watching you I was doing it right! To the chagrin of my husband lol! And yes that is the concave you pointed to ..

Nice demo. I purchased the 18ga nailer today at Lowes, Its sold under the Metabo name now. After finishing a window trim project I decided I'm not going to do the next 7 windows by hand. Hopefully this will save me some time and smashed fingers

Thank you for this video. I'm new to all things power tools and I found this to be extremely helpful!!!

I just purchased this item on sale at Lowe’s. The instructions were complicating. This video was helpful!!! Thank you

Thanks so much for your vdo. I just bought the exact one from Lowe’s today. Never use one before so ur vdo helps me a lot. I going to use tomorrow and fell more comfortable after watching ur vdo. Thanks again.

Best tutorial for pneumatic tool operation! Thanks!

Thank You! I just set up my new Metabo HPT 16 gauge Nailer! Very Helpful to follow along! (First nail gun also)

Thank you so much for putting this together! I appreciate it greatly.

Thank you for the detailed walk through on how to operate the nail gun. This was supper helpful.

Great video. My first air nailer as well. Thanks for posting a cool, informative tutorial!

I applaud your zeal for safety and I have experienced the shooting of a smaller 23 gauge pin nail into my finger. fortuneately it was not very deep and only bled a little but a bandaid was sufficient. I have both the 23 gauge pin nailer and an 18 gauge nailer but the 18 gauge nailer quit firing after only about 10 or 12 nails. That's how I discovered your video; I am looking to find how to troubleshoot these devices.

Thank you so very much for this video, great help!

Nice video. Just bought one of these. Looking forward to using it.

this was exactly what I needed. Great job!!

Excellent video Sir !

THANKS for your video. Great tutorial for those of us whom learn better with visualization. Saved me an hour or two setting up. ALSO I have a Metabo HPT framing nail gun / THIS one operates very similarly.

Good review , very basic and simple 👍. Thanks , just got this one

Thank you sir, great info

Thank you Sir! You are a natural Teacher

That was great! Thanks for the lesson.

Thanks for this. I just got one yesterday and it is also my first nail gun. Well, brand name is changed to Metabo HTP. And it really is silver instead of green. But otherwise it is the same unit. So, thanks for giving me the overview of how it works.

The best type of videos thank you answered so many questions

Great vid!

Great video! You should do this on a regular basis!

Great video 👍 thanks!

Thanks, Very helpful.

Most accidents with pneumatic nailers (or other power tools) occur due to the user not following safety instructions or complacency (when one gets too comfortable with the tool).

thank you! u helped me set up my new nailing gun :)

This is as fun as anything else we could watch I guess, haha

Thak you Sir helped alot

19:00 "people would bitch....." lol that was hilarious. By the way.....the space where the safety glasses are will hold 1 pack of nails. That's where I keep em.

ps in case anyone didn't know the hitachi compressor gets to the psi set, then shuts off. i thought my compressor was broken but it just stops until youve nailed a lot, and then the pressure drops and turns back on again. I didn't know that and called the store and they said return it, but i figured it out. :) sorry for the newbie comment if this is common knowledge.

Great video review. I bought this one today. It looks to be exactly the same even though the name has now changed to Metabo JPT. Are you still satisfied with yours?

One setting for the nails is single the other as long as you keep the trigger pulled you can put down 1 nail lift nailer while keeping the trigger pulled place the nailer where you want the next nail push down and it will shoot anouther

Hitachi tools are now under the name brand of Metabo, due to various mergers and acquisitions...same for the nails. You probably won't find Hitachi brand name nails anymore as they are now being manufactured with the Metabo brand name. Same for their tools.

Great video definitely helped out alot I just bought mine fixing to break it in tommarrow. My question is I'm from Texas & I bought mine at Lowe's the only thing is your video shows the Hitachi brand,mine says the brand Metabo what's going on? There the Sam nice equipment but two different names if you can explain! Thank you

Word of advice keep fingers clear of gun tip when using any nail gun

Great video. Thank you very much. One thing I might add. Is it does not matter what nails do you use it must be 16 gauge nails. I made the mistake I’m getting 18 gauge Dale’s.

"people would bitch." How true, how true! Nice vid sir.

I just got the same gun only the metabo version, I also had the 15 gauge Hitachi, I found out on the firing mode that you can do a single fire on either setting, but if you do a single fire on the bump fire mode it will sometimes shoot a double shot, 2 nails right next to each other, its because of the recoil, so pick the fire mode you want, either bump fire or single, dont shoot a single fire, when its in bump fire mode or you might get a double fire, also the rubber bumper will cause the nail to not go as deep, if you want it to go deeper, so you can fill with putty, you can take the rubber piece off, just twist it, it will come right off, you can put it in your pocket, I was a painter for 40 years and would hate when the nail was flush, you see if you stain the wood, and shoot clear on it you will see the shiny nail, and it looks bad, I would have to carry a nail set around with me to set the nail, I would then find the carpenter and complain to him and tell him the problem so he could set his depth deeper, in his case it was a wore out gun

I'm looking for this exact gun I got the same one and needing a new one. I've looked through amazon and they just show the new named Hitachi (METABO) Only problem with the new ones is that they are mostly all plastic feel cheap and most of the reviews are bad. I use my tools every day 365 of the year. I take care of them but they do take a beating. I know what I've used and dont really trust the newer cheaper stuff. Do you have a link to where I can find one of these?

A knot in the wood can easily divert a nail.

How do I go about oiling the nailer ?

Keep your other hand far away from your nail gun Do Not hold the piece with your hand, nailing clamp it down. Or keep it far away from the gun in case of double firing or knot in pieces your nailing.

Your air tools will work much better with a larger diameter air hose.

Follow safety regulations and learn how to nail with it you won't ever have a issue.Id recommend someone with experience working with you till you know .

Electric… Eh. I’ll take my pneumatic tools any day. Electric is fine for drills and impacts. But when I need power, I’ll whip out the air tools.

I wish I watch vids like this before I used mines. I didn't oil it for years. Now its not working.

Very thorough but too long. You should break the video up. I just needed to know how to lubricate it.
