Our take on the Craftsman CMCN616B V20 Lithium-Ion 16 Gauge Cordless Finish Nailer

The Craftsman CMCN616B is a 16-gauge cordless finish nailer powered by the V20 lithium-ion battery line. It drives up to 375 nails per charge and fires without a compressor, hose or gas cartridge, so it works in places a pneumatic gun can't reach. It suits trim carpenters, remodelers and homeowners running baseboard, casing and crown who already own V20 batteries. Against pneumatic nailers it trades some raw speed and sustained fire rate for portability, and against premium cordless rivals it is a simpler, heavier-feeling tool without depth micro-adjustment or a rafter hook.

Pros
  • Fully cordless: no compressor, hose or gas cartridges
  • Drives up to 375 nails per charge
  • Tool-free jam and stall clearing
  • Balanced, lightweight body with belt hook
  • Runs in cold and hot conditions where gas nailers struggle
Cons
  • Battery and charger often sold separately
  • Heavier and bulkier than a pneumatic finish nailer
  • No depth-of-drive micro-adjustment wheel
  • Slower sustained firing than air tools
  • 16-gauge nails only, so no 15- or 18-gauge flexibility

What reviewers say

Owners like the freedom of no hose and the reliable firing for trim work, and most say it sinks 16-gauge nails cleanly in softwood and pine. Complaints center on weight, the need to buy batteries separately, and occasional jams or misfires in hard wood.

Questions and answers

Does it come with a battery and charger?
Most versions are tool-only. Check the listing carefully, since the kit and bare-tool versions look alike.
What size nails does it use?
It takes 16-gauge finish nails, typically 1-1/4 to 2-1/2 inches. It will not run 15- or 18-gauge nails.
How many nails per charge?
Craftsman rates it at up to 375 nails per charge on a V20 battery. Real counts depend on nail length and wood hardness.
Is it good for baseboard and crown molding?
Yes. It is built for trim work, and the cordless design helps with overhead crown. For long production runs a pneumatic gun is faster.
Does it need gas cartridges?
No. It runs on the V20 battery alone, with no fuel cells to buy.
Can it sink nails flush in hardwood?
Usually in pine and softwood. In dense hardwood some users need to set nails by hand or adjust technique.
