I have been wanting a nailer for a while. I have a mix of kobalt and DeWalt tools. Should I pull the trigger on this nailer?

First off, what do you need a nailer for?

Second, if you need multiple nailers it is best go pneumatic, cheaper and they last longer

It is on the large side. However the M12 only does 5/8" - 1-1/2" while this does 5/8-in to 2-1/2 and almost half the price.

I've been waiting for this to go on sale and plan to pick one up. Thanks!

One thing I have read is that it's challenging to find replacement tips when they wear out. However, someone uploaded the 3D plans if you have access to a 3D printer you could make your own. https://www.printables.com/model/...no-mar-tip

Yes you should pull the trigger. It's huge but it's not as huge as your compressor and takes a fraction of the time to set up. I've built a few cabinet sets with it so far and the last thing I want to do after cutting is lug out the compressor, look for my hose, wait for the long, loud pressurization, hook up the nailer, etc. For this, I toss in a battery, press the on button and fire away.

The next best alternative from the cost perspective for a cordless brad nailer would be a Metabo HPT. My local Lowes still has a few in stock as a kit with a single 2.0ah battery for $150.00 (no tool bag included). I bought that one and I really like it. The Ketchup and Mustard cordless nailers are crazy expensive IMO. Those may be worth it if you're in the trades, but for DIY you could probably get by with one from a less popular brand. Lowes has this newer version Metabo kit (now with bag) as a deal of the day for $180.00. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Metabo-H...5002218845

Home & Home Improvement Tools Drills & Power Tools Kobalt Lowe's

Product Description:	The Kobalt XTR 18-Ga Brad Nailer is the perfect tool for most applications such as residential trim work, cabinetry, furniture, and similar finishing applications. This tool is equipped with a pre-charged internal gas chamber to drive a piston which gives the user a similar feel to traditional pneumatic nail gun performance while eliminating the pain point of dragging an air compressor and hose around the jobsite. The XTR nailer delivers repeatable depth of drive due to the nearly instant reload technology so the user does not experience improperly sunk nails due to low air compressor lag. The pre-charged gas system provides instant nail delivery after the trigger is pulled. The 18-Ga nailer is equipped with an electronic control panel that allows the user to easily turn the tool ON with the touch of the power button. The user can also easily choose from sequential or contact actuation (bump) mode using the control panel. This cordless nailer delivers on all the features you would expect from a premium performance nailer including the ability to accept 5/8-in to 2-1/8-in long brad nails, 110 nail magazine capacity, tool-free drive depth adjustment, dry-fire lockout, tool-free jam clearing mechanism, magazine site window, and no-mar pads to protect the workpiece.
