It’s easy to see why this drill was rated a 2006 “best buy” by a leading consumer magazine. Impressively compact, lightweight, and comfortable to use, Panasonic’s 15.6-volt drill/driver fits into tight spaces where other bulkier drills won’t. The 3-1/2 amp NiMH batteries deliver remarkable run time per charge, which is a big plus, especially if you need a tool for continuous use. What about power? This Panasonic packs...

To be honest, we looked twice at the price, certain the folks at Amazon had made a mistake. But sure enough, they’re right–and so is the price. Porter-Cable makes some of the best pneumatic tools in the industry, and these nailers are two prime examples. The 16-gauge is sturdy, compact, lighter and quieter than you’d expect with a grip even smaller hands can get around. Great balance, easy depth-of-drive adjustment, and a pleasure...
Perfect for finish and trim work that requires getting into small spaces, this Impulse finish nailer from Paslode lets you avoid the hassle of compressor hoses and compressor noise. The nailer’s small, lightweight body (just under 5 pounds) is easy to grip and, because you’re not hooked up to a hose, doesn’t cause as much arm fatigue as other nailers. It drives 1-1/4- to 2-1/2-inch nails and has easy-to-adjust drive depth, a probe...
This Porter-Cable 18-gauge, 1-1/4-inch brad nailer shoots standard brads from 5/8 to 1-1/4 inches long. The gun’s die-cast aluminum body is lightweight but strong, and the handle is comfortable to hold, even over long periods of time. The quick-release nosepiece lets you clear jams quickly and easily. Features include a special hardened driver blade, a sequential fire trigger, a visual reload indicator, a safety that’s located behind...
No compressor. No hoses. No kidding. And no sacrifices in speed or power, either. There’s absolutely no comparison between this performer and the fuel-cell powered competition, which we thought was a great innovation. But there’s no costly fuel cell to replace on this tool—-just pop on a recharged XRP battery and get back on the job. The only difference you’ll feel between this and a traditional pneumatic is that you’re...
Porter-Cable’s palm nailer is growing in popularity among both woodworkers and contractors alike–and for good reason. At first glance, it doesn’t look like much of a powerhouse, but connect it to even a small compressor and you’re driving 6-inch nails no problem. Another great feature: you’re not restricted to one type of nail. Fatigue is minimal, thanks to its light weight (just 2-1/2 pounds!) and ergonomic design. The kit comes...
So small, so light, but so powerful-—what a delight to use. It’s just perfect for the professional upholsterer and the home do-it-yourselfer, too. Because it’s so compact, it fits nicely into tight spaces, and its super light weight means no fatigue, even in the awkward positions upholsters can find themselves. We didn’t experience any misfires or jams, but if they happen, just release the magazine and the driver blade guide retracts....
This Porter-Cable 18-gauge, 2-inch brad nailer is a compact, comfortable-to-carry unit that might not offer quite as many extras as other (more expensive) units, but it’s very reliable and does its job well. This nailer shoots standard brads from 3/4 to 2 inches long and has an anodized magazine with a reload indicator. The die-cast aluminum body is lightweight but still very strong, and the handle is comfortable to hold, even over long periods...
