- If you're in need of the metal connector nailer that I used.
Here is the link that I used to buy it through Amazon.

I do have to tell you though. I feel pretty dumb. After I bought it I realized that I could have spent $30 more dollars on ACME Tools website and received a FREE Metabo Cordless Grinder too! That's a $200 tool for FREE!!
Here's the link to that too. I really wish I would have known. I hate wasting money.

Hey, My name is Tom. I don't know about you but I find myself wanting to DO everything myself. I consider myself a Jack Of All Trades. Master of none. What you'll find here will be anything from building or fixing cars or trucks, building or remodeling projects and everything in between. I get myself into some pretty interesting situations.
I'd love it if you subscribed so we can stay in touch... You might even learn something. I know I will!
Thank you for watching!!

Do I have any interest in buying or using a nailer? No. Am I watching anyway? Yes.
My 8 year old budding tool guy loves watching you and Today’s Task
I bought my first Hitachi battery tool - an 18 volt grinder - because it was about $50 (on clearance) at Lowe’s. And I’m too cheap to buy the red brand all the time, unless I don’t want to lug around multiple “systems” of tools, batteries and chargers! I liked it so much that now I have MANY Metabo tools - ALL good and most cheaper than the red equivalents! Metabo is the system I lug around… and it’s less a magnet to thieves. 😂
Tom walks over and immediately picks up the tape measure! Good organization etc.
I love tool reviews done by people that I trust. Sometimes you feel like people are asked to review and you don't know if you can trust them. I love that it was put to the test and an honest opinion given.
Thank you!!
Tom, my husband and I totally understand and appreciate and truly ENJOY YOU and EVERYTHING YOU share with us ! ❤️
Watching you is a learning and fun. With Tom & Dawn & Diana, Montana winters are more bareable. Thank You ❣️
We so much have LOVED "THE ENDINGS" HA HA HA 😄 😄
Guess you’ll have to wait until Friday 😂
@Rusty Judgment Very much looking forward to seeing it ! 👀 😀
Here in FL, everything from chicken coops to barns to houses have hurricane straps. With all of the outbuildings we've built, I think we (and by we I mean my husband) would have loved to have had that tool. Thanks for the review.
Great content. It’s good to see a product review where you can see the product being used in the wild! Your channel should have way more subs!
When you open a box and the battery was already attached to the gun. I would have checked to see if the battery was charged. It looked like Amazon sent you a used item. I
I have recently purchased my first metabo hpt nailer and it worked well. Thanks for your review and showing the gun being used on an application it was intended to be used for.
I actually used Metabo tools back in the Netherlands 30 years ago, they are good tools! I bought the 18V framing nailer about two years ago, and love it. Buying the metal connector nailer soon for another large deck job, I've hand hammered thousand of joist hanger nails by hand and getting tired of it!
😃 Great Review Tom! I'm female but awfully handy with a saw and hammer myself. I love watching both you & Dawn. I agree with the one other subscriber... Perhaps submitting your detailed video review to Amazon can earn you some bucks for your trouble. I've heard that they pay out, if the video review is watched. I also agree that perhaps wearing a headlamp LED light might help in those dark nooks. So keep on... Keeping on! You're doing great!
😃 🧰🔨🔨
Tom, I love that your space is still organized & you were able to walk to the exact space where you keep the tape measure. Thank you for reviewing the tool. Great job!
The light is a good idea but would use up battery power. Excellent review Tom. Enjoyed the video.
Tom, I have to say this before I watch your video. First, I always give you a thumbs up immediately before watching, and second, your videos have the best intro ever!!! 🤗💕
Another great video. I really don’t watch any other videos like this. I’m amazed that you knew you needed the gun and knew exactly how to use it.
Can you use a head lamp? I find a small LED headlamp really helps in dark places. I've never used this kind of nailer and most of my tools are Dewalt cause it's hard to change when you have a lot of Dewalt batteries like I do. I know someone who is in the process of swithching and has a t-shirt that says "Delwaukee". I appreciate this kind of review and like you I always do research before buying.
Your review was extraordinary! Your channel and those of your wife and sister in laws remain my favorites. Thank you ❤️
Great battery life even in cold weather. I did not think it would last in the cold. Our floor joists are 12” on centre. Glad we do not need to install hurricane ties.
I thought it was so cute that you got so excited about the safety glasses.😂 Score
I thought it was funny 👍
I like a practical tool review for sure. Many times tool reviews are people just opening boxes and comparing new unused ones. Drives me nuts.
I want to see a tool put to normal use and it helps a lot knowing if it would be useful to me. I doubt needing this one but when I built some steps I used some metal clips to tie some supports in to stringers and hammering those nails in was awful. I ended up shooting in exterior screws. I don’t do that stuff often. I don’t blame you for buying this tool for that huge job. I would too.
Another great video! I was wondering how you could hold that thing over your head for so long! Always amazed at (1) all you can do and (2) all that's involved in building a house!
Excellent review. Frugal is buying the best for the job not always the cheapest.
Very true!
Came for Dawn. Staying for Tom! I'm not in a season of life where I am in any need for a nail gun or any type of building stuff haha. But I love learning from you Tom! Keep up the great work!
I use both brands. I actually prefer Metabo HPT's framing nailer guns over the Milwaukee which I just sold away just a day ago. Sold it because the darn thing is heavy and it required to be sent out if it's no longer shooting nails deep enough, while you are able to self charge the Metabo HPT with the proper accessories. Glad I got to see the metal connector in this video. When I told one of my framers that they had this in cordless, he did not believe me at all and it's ironic because he uses the one that connects to the air compressor under the same Metabo HPT brand.
I bought a Dewalt last year, couldnt wait for any other brand to deliver. Sweden is very slow to crank out tools on the market.
Got a surprise, darn gun is awsome. Shot even through the steel of joisthangers. Like to test tools Hard. Recoil increase of course.
Downside is its fiddly close in angles, and with battery its gets heavy after some hours.
So swing around the Gun is needed, and take turns on joistshooting 😊
How many hours saved on a week 😂
And was the cheapest Gun on the market so win win.
What model DeWalt do you have? Where did you order it from?
I don't even need or use a Metal Connector Nailer but I like your videos so....I am watching
Thank you 😊
I enjoy your videos and find them informative. I feel like I always learn something.
You can purchase cordless battery adapters from the internet, so it doesn't matter what tools you buy as long as you standardize batteries.
Hi Tom - You can buy a touque with a bright LED light on the front. I bought one from Amazon. Perfect for staying warm and having a hands free light source lighting up where you’re looking.
I enjoy your channel (and I’m a huge fan of The Minimal Mom!) Dawn’s channel was the first CZcams channel that I subscribed to !
Me too & have followed her for years. Great couple!!
My husband says Metabo is a very good brand. He hopes you can get free Metabo tools to review on your channel. Maybe send them a letter with reference to this video.
The proper tool makes all the difference....so now you have a little green in your arsenal...very Christmas-y!
I have a Ryobi nailer with 2 batteries. Its not as industrial strength as yours, but works well when I do a project-- and I got mine as a scratch and dent off amazon for about a $100. that came with the 2 batteries- a great surprise.
So Tom, I've been watching Dawn's videos for a while and totally enjoy that. I love that you're sharing too. I, as a wife to a do it yourselfer, always enjoy the product reviews. Thanks for the clean content too.
Great job Tom! Love that you did a review. Hope company gets back to you on updating the nailer to incude a light and magazine to hold more nails!
Also called Hikoki - awesome gun
Those nails have an adhesive on the end of them and at high speed when entering the wood they liquify and then grab🎉.
Good call on that tool being returned! The new battery comes with the battery protector on it. I've never seen any company ship a tool with the battery on it. I'd wager someone bought it thinking it was the framing nailer and returned it. I've got their framing nailer, it's noticeably lighter than the Milwaukee one. If you want lighter you need to go pneumatic. It's also not really a renovation tool, usually hangers are installed on new construction where you don't have to worry about there being a house on top of you.
Another thing to note, the Metabo tools use a sealed air system instead of a sealed nitrogen system like Milwaukee, so it's easier to service when you need to repressurize the system.
Just built a 20x16 cabin last summer and those hurricane straps were a bear to nail by hand (especially starting the nail-I used needle nosed pliers because fingers got in the way). Took a long time and exhausting-even with 2 people. My forearms and hand were so sore-but at least the framing was below and not overhead.
Love your videos and have learned so much watching your channel. Definitely load your video on Amazon-very few good videos on there that cover as much as you do. Thank you.
This is a great review, Tom! I love that you showed it in action. Great Video!
This nailer takes advantage of the MV system so it runs at 36V, also a mag extension will be coming soon this year
You make everything so interesting!!
Thank you so much! I have been agonizing over whether to get a nailer which one to get, etc. This is the kind of application I would probably use it for.
I really enjoy your channel; thanks for posting.
We call you " The Maximal Dad"😘
Hurricane ties? Do they actually have hurricanes in Minnesota? Nice job, Tom! I'm a Milwaukee tool person, too! My husband is a Dewalt guy. He bought me my Milwaukee drill a few years ago. I swear, he uses it more than his Dewalt!
No hurricanes but high winds
Your garage still looks so well organized Tom!!!! :) Im sure Dawn is proud of you!! :) You are such a humble man!! Thank you for your honesty!!! Thats a really great tool to have!!! I have learned something new today.....lol....thanks Tom!!! :)
Your review was great! We got the Milwaukee Compact inflator thanks to you and love it!
That’s awesome! I use mine all the time 👍
Hey Tom Your videos are great ! For a change from watching All of the Cleaning Videos and haul videos... your videos are very interesting 😸
🤣👍
Loved the review. Is Metabo the "new" Hitachi?
never thought of a light but that would be handy . i want the short magizine on my positive placement gun . generally in my job i need to get in a lot of tight awkward spaces. for this reason cordless over air house is ideal . not dragging a hose in a crawlspace or attic would be very helpful.
Thanks for review! I am considering purchasing this tool as a replacement for my other PP (positive placement) nailers requiring air (tired of dragging air hoses everywhere). Most PP nailers will only accept 1 clip of nails, except Paslode’s larger PP nailer.
For what it does its fairly light. I use headlights for slot of jobs in basemdnts, attics, etc so the lighted tip is not z big deal. With their history in nail guns of various types you have a durable and efficient tool for your money.
Good review Tom. I would like to see more like this.
👍. Will do 😁
That was a fast job with your new tool!!
Great review. I have a metabo framing nailer and trim nailer I love. Tired of dragging around a hose for nailing in hangers. I'm planning on being 95% cordless in a year. One thing I would point out is I've never seen a connecter nailer that takes more than one rack of nails at a time. Even pneumatic ones.
Codes require a full head nail so that limits size of clips. A $100 palm nailer is the old school way to put in hangers. They are fast and get in very tight spaces.
Nice review Tom! I had no idea that a tool like that exists.
Tom I highly recommend a strap onto your head hiking light for detailed work. Also keeps you hands free.
Where’s the funny guy!!!! 😉
Great video! 👍
He’ll be back on Friday 😁
Metabo crown nailer has a light on it which is super nice. That's weird that they didn't put a light on this gun. Great video!
This was a great review video, well done.
Thank you!!
Enjoyed your review. Do you have recommendations for a starter kit setup? We have some plans for some home repairs and honest opinions like this would be a big help.
I love how you do your review!
Tom- out>Great review. Maybe you could jury rig a penlight type flashlight to help out? I agree with someone else who said that a light would eat battery, but maybe it wouldn't be a bad trade-off since LED lights are so efficient it might not make a big difference.
Thanks for doing the review for us.
Hi Tom, Nice review. Regarding the cost of the tool. I always look at the time it saves and the wear and tear on body when evaluating the cost. I'm guessing it would you take a full day to nail the ties in by hand, that's 8 hrs @ $50 per hour, that's $400, minus the 1-1/2 hours with the gun, and the time spent doing the research. I would estimate you could take $275 off the cost of the tool that you saved in labor. I think the tool was well worth the cost, especially if you're likely to be doing this again.
PS; my wife says I'm probably related to you, a brother by another mother.🤣
😂👍
It says 36v on the box, and they give you an 18v battery. You paid for a 36v model and they gave you an 18v model. that's why it was previously returned.
Enjoyed this video. It was great to see you do a tool review. I am sure it saved a lot of time versus having to pound each nail by hand and it may be better ergonomically.
Really liked watching your review.
Amazing tool!
Would a head lamp help with seeing where you're nailing? As my father would say blessings on you! Pam
Thanks for this additional video since last Friday's video was pretty short. I am glad to see how your rental #1 project is coming along. Do you think you will be complete by sometime this summer? Keep warm up there!
Excellent tool review and demo, you mentioned 18v but isn't that a 36v battery?
8:56 Paslode makes one gas which is available in the UK and Europe and one is New Zealand. It is called PPN35Ci UK and PPN Master in NZ. I email Paslode to see if they have one coming to North America.
Fasco also makes one cordless and sells in North America, but I don’t think it is as small as the Paslode plus it is $900 ish CAD or USD😅
That tool was a return. The way it was packed tell you everything you need to know. No manufacturer is going to send you a tool with the battery connected.
Good point indeed
Pls update on the beam situation. Good review - hope I never need one of those!
Nice review.! All nail guns are slightly heavy!
What about taping a small flashlight on top of the gun? Cheap fix?
"If we haven't met before, my name is Tom, and I have 16 trucks ages 25 and under!"
😆😆 too funny... And sooo TRUE!!
Fantastic review thanks for sharing
Tom, I would love your thoughts on the Milwaukee pack out... thinking about getting it for my husband :)
That was a Pretty expensive battery test ( wasting them Nails ) into the wood until battery dies, but you did great job on the test!
Thats definitely a return as they come with 2 batteries and the batteries are packed separately with a plastic cover
Where's the funny skit at the end? I so love those!!!
Friday’s video will have one 😁
Great review!
I love your videos.
Air nailers are best. Light and powerful. Last forever
They make a great pnuematic if it's too heavy
Normally, from the factory, the battery is always separate.
Good job on your review!
great review , would like other tool reviews too, 👌😁
You got it!
Awww...no funny ending 😮💨. I was so looking forward to that.
Friday 😁
I love this nailer
excellent review! many thanks!
I believe the Metabo is the only one that can do both 1 1/2", and 2 1/2" nails.
I thought you were going to trash talk the gun and was ready to debunk all. But in all honesty, here in northern europe i know this is used in constructions and it works even in -20C temps and theres no delay like dewalt has.
Good video. 👍🏻
Thanks Tom
I hope Milwaukee tools sponsors you some time. Then you can review them
Nice job.
Having a light would use up some battery.
What degree nails did run through the gun? Im wondering if 30 degree would work?
Always love watching you
☹️☹️☹️☹️ no skit at end of your video ☹️☹️☹️☹️
Friday 😁
Yeah !!!!
would wearing a headlamp help?
