The WEN 20516 is a cordless 16-gauge brad nailer that runs on WEN's 20V Max battery line, so it replaces a compressor and hose with a single tool. It fires 1 to 2-1/2 inch brads at up to 120 nails per minute, holds 100 nails, and switches between single-sequential and bump-fire modes from an on-tool panel. The brushless motor and 2.0Ah battery are the main selling points, and the battery also fits other WEN 20V tools. It suits trim carpenters, cabinet installers and homeowners doing punch lists who want air-free nailing without a premium brand's price. Against DeWalt, Milwaukee and Metabo HPT cordless nailers it is heavier and less refined, but it covers the same 16-gauge range and adds a work light and rafter hook.

Owner feedback on the WEN 20516 is limited, and it centers on the convenience of going cordless and the shared 20V battery. Users who like it cite the brushless motor, the two firing modes and the work light. Complaints tend to focus on weight and on depth control that takes some fiddling.
Remember when you could build whatever you wanted wherever you wanted? Ditch the noise and hassle of air compressors and hoses with the WEN 20V Max Cordless Brushless 16-Gauge Brad Nailer. With our handy on-tool control panel, you’ll be able to track your nailer’s battery status and quickly switch between firing modes at the touch of a button. Whether you need the precision of single-sequential mode or the speed of bump-fire mode, the choice is yours. The included 2.0 amp-hour lithium-ion battery delivers consistently powerful performance at any level of charge, features an onboard LED charge gauge, and is cross-compatible with the entire WEN 20V Max Lithium-Ion Cordless Power Tool line. Fire a range of 16-gauge brads anywhere from 1 to 2-1/2 inches long. The powerful brushless motor provides high-speed operation and lasts longer with less maintenance than brushed alternatives. With a maximum firing speed of up to 120 nails per minute, and up to 1000 nails per charge, you won’t be falling behind on those busy days on the job. The easy-load magazine holds up to 100 nails, and features dry-fire protection to prevent damage to the nailer if the magazine is empty. Thanks to the LED work light and adjustable rafter hook, you can work in dark or unfinished spaces with ease. The ergonomic, rubberized grip and body bumpers prevent wear and tear to the nailer’s body. And because it’s a WEN product, your nailer comes backed by a two-year warranty and a friendly customer help line, all to make sure that you remember WEN.
