Does it come with a battery?

No. It is a bare tool; the battery and charger are sold separately. You need a Bosch 18V pack, ideally a CORE18V 4 Ah for the longest runtime.

What size nails does it take?

18-gauge brad nails from 5/8 inch to 2-1/8 inch. It does not take staples or larger framing nails.

How many nails per charge?

Bosch claims up to 2,000 nails with a CORE18V 4 Ah battery. Expect fewer with smaller packs or in hardwoods.

Can I use it for baseboards and trim?

Yes. It is aimed at finish work such as baseboard, casing, crown and cabinet trim, where an 18-gauge brad leaves a small hole.

Does it have a bump-fire mode?

Yes. A switch toggles between single sequential and bump fire, and the dry-fire lockout stops firing at the last five nails.

Is it compatible with other Bosch 18V batteries?

Yes. It runs on Bosch's 18V Li-Ion platform, including CORE18V packs, so it shares batteries with other Bosch 18V tools.
