What nail sizes does it take?

It drives wire-collated coil nails from 1-3/4 to 3-1/2 inches long. It does not take paper-tape or plastic-strip stick nails.

Does it need a compressor?

Yes, it is a pneumatic tool and runs on compressed air through a hose. There is no battery or gas cartridge option.

How does it compare with a stick framing nailer?

A coil magazine holds more nails, so you reload less often, and this gun is lighter than most stick framers. Stick nailers are easier to find nails for at any store.

Is it good for roof decking?

Yes. The light weight and large coil make it a common choice for overhead sheathing and decking work.

Does it have a depth adjustment?

This model has no depth-of-drive dial. Nail depth is set by air pressure and how firmly you press the nose.

The nailer comes with the tool and safety glasses; nails and air fittings are sold separately.

Our take on the Metabo HPT NV90AGSM 3-1/2" Coil Framing Nailer

The Metabo HPT NV90AGSM is a pneumatic coil framing nailer that drives wire-collated nails from 1-3/4 to 3-1/2 inches. At 7.7 lbs it is lighter than most stick and coil framing guns, and the side-load tilt-bottom magazine speeds reloads. It suits framers, roofers and remodelers who want full framing power without arm fatigue. Against stick nailers it holds more nails per load and needs fewer reloads; against premium coil guns it trades some refinement for a simpler, lighter build.
