Hoteche 18GA 2-in-1 Electric Brad Nailer/Stapler 19/32-Inch to 1-1/4 Inch Staple Gun Power Adjustable Nail Gun with 2000Pcs Brad Nails& Staples for Home Upholstery and Woodworking

Was slightly concerned due to the reviews saying that this nailer does not get the nails flush, which if you’re trying to use this as a high powered air nailer it’s true, however, if you push the tip of the nailer firmly against the material you’re trying to nail it should be completely flush. It took me a little bit of testing on some cedar fence pickets before I got the hang of it! If you work with mostly hard woods this might not be the best for you but for me, I mainly work with pine and cedar so it should work perfectly for me!

The longest nail it can hold is 1 1/4 inch so it limits the capacity to complete certain projects. I’ve installed some baseboards in my basement nails not quite long enough but it gets the job done. Hold with two hands and apply pressure and use the right extension cord helps to drive the nail as deep as it can possibly go.

The nailer is much heavier than I expected. The casing seems solid, the slide to insert the brads works well. The instructions are good, although how they are set up could be more user friendly. I got this for replacing pickets on a fence. I am using the brad nailer for placement then will go back and use screws, making it an easier one person job. The nailer puts the brads all the way in when I press fairly hard. A little is left out if I don't. Just a learning curve. For my purpose this is just what I needed.

This tool would only work occasionally. Get a few small nails in and then it just wouldn't respond when pulling the trigger. After a while it might decide to work again.....or it might not, depending on what mood the tool was in. For sure it couldn't possibly get overheated within 5-10 small nails going into pine. Also didn't sink nails or staples well into soft wood at even the highest setting. Had to go back and re-nail everything. I'll be returning this. Not impressed.

Lots of capabilities, takes the 32mm ( 1 1/4 “ ). Drives them right. It’s not for construction of course, but for my small shop it’s perfect. Works as advertised not bait and switch. I needed a nailer not just a stapler. It has them too. Good deal. I’m happy.

I used it but the nail does not go in completely. I have to used hammer to finally finish it. Product is OK but does not meet expectations.

I read all the reviews and was able to get it to work a little bit. Still not worth it though, most of the nails ended up not going through and took me even more time to fix, this would be fine as a stapler for art and craft but not much else.

Es práctica y eficiente. No esperaba que fuera tan robusta ,,, la recomiendo

This is one awesome nailer. Well balanced and grips easily. Made very sturdy should outlive me. Very heavy duty body. Works great with staples and nails. The best is using the one inch nails. It's the only nailer I could find that can do one inch nails. All the others, the best they can do is 3/8 inch. Great product. Highly recommend it. Great company to deal with. When it was delivered, the box was badly damaged. Looks like the UPS children had a soccer game with it. All the nails that came with it were all broken to little pieces. I contacted Hoteche and explained what happened. They send me replacement nails. Very nice of them to do that. But the nailer is awesome. Made very solid and works great. Good job Hoteche on a fabulous over the top product. It does "One Inch" nails folks.

Excelente clavadora y engrapadora, superó mis expectativas, use clavos de 1", 5/8" y 3/8" y grapas de 5/8" que trae incluidas (y que no están tan afiladas como las Arrow U.S.A.). La probé en pino duro (un segmento cercano a los nudos de la madera, como se muestra en la foto) y los clavó al ras, sin mayor problema ni esfuerzo, con el selector de potencia a la mitad de su capacidad; es decir, con una reserva del restante 50%. Cuenta con un apotencia nominal de 12 amperes, por lo que solo debe utilizarse con extensiones de calibres 14 o 12 AWG, para evitar baja de potencia. Algo que me gustó mucho es que funcionó muy bien con clavos Truper calibre 18 (que cuestan de entre una quinta a una décima parte de marcas como Arrow u otras importadas) lo que la hace muy costeable. Es muy similar a otra, marca Arrow (que también compré en Amazon) pero que solo cuenta con 6.5 amperes de potencia, que es solamente clavadora y que cuesta aprox. $300 más (pero viene con un estuche de plástico de excelente calidad). Así que será cuestión de necesidades o preferencias, por una marca tradicional u otra, relativamente nueva. Por mi parte conservaré ambas; laHoteche para clavos grandes (de 1 y 1-1/4") y la Arrow para clavos de 3/4" o más cortos; y no tener que cambiarlos constantemente (lo que resulta tedioso y molesto). Nota: las grapas que utiliza, son muy angostas tipo tapicería, con corona de 5.7 mm y patas largas de 5/8" a 1"; por lo que no es compatible con grapas T50 ni similares (con corona de 3/8") que son las que utilizan la mayoría de engrapadoras manuales y electricas estándar. Llegó antes de lo ofrecido y en perfectas condiciones. Sí la recomiendo.

So far so good. I used it with 1" brad nails into 1/2" cedar panelling to a stud. Powerful, almost sinks nail entirely, just used a nail set to finish. Perfect with the colored nails, too, making the project look good and it is easy to use and load. Recommended for the do it yourselfer.

I got this because I didn’t want to spend $200–$300+ to replace my cordless brad nailer. I’ve only tested it for about a day, so I’m not sure how long it will last, but so far it seems to work fine. Don’t expect it to fully sink 32mm nails every time—it won’t. I often had to use a nail set and hammer when working with harder materials. If that’s a deal-breaker for you, then this product isn’t for you. But given the price, I think it’s a decent piece of equipment.

gun will not sink staples or brad nails to flush surface of even soft pine wood, even with impact adjustment at maximum. must use hammer to finish every staple/nail
