KIMO 18 Gauge Nail Gun Cordless with Battery 2.0Ah X 2, 1000pcs Nails and Staples, 2 Firing Modes, 180 Nails/min, Adjustable Nailing Depth, 2 in 1 Cordless Brad Nailer and Stapler for DIY Project

Getting on for years with some hand issues, not able to drive small nails straight anymore. This electric nailer is just my answer for doing baseboards on my hands and knees, driving nails sideways. I found that this Kimo is reasonably priced for a complete kit with two batteries, and could drive 18-gauge 2" nails. Powerful but light enough to handle easily. Now I can focus on the work instead of swearing at the bent nails. I should have bought this a long time ago.

The media could not be loaded. Update:I bought another one of these because the first one worked so well. The second one worked for a few hours then when I went to replace the battery I smelled burning electronics. I yanked the battery out and the smell stopped. I put the battery back in and it seemed fine but when I pulled the trigger only the light would come on. The gun wouldn't fire. I removed the battery and tried another, known good battery and the gun began constantly firing. It completely ignores the trigger and the safety tip and just fires constantly. I'll include a video showing the problem. Apparently the second battery it came with was defective and when I attached it to the staple gun it burned out parts of the staple gun.So I got one that works fine and one that is clearly defective. I'm returning the clearly broken one.----------I have the DeWalt 18 gauge brad nailer, but it won't shoot staples. I went to use my pneumatic nailer / stapler the other day and it had broken. The little safety mechanism wouldn't depress all the way in. so the gun wouldn't fire.I went online to buy a new pneumatic nailer / stapler and saw this. I have two other Kimo tools. The 1/2" impact and the 3/8" ratchet. They are both very good, reliable tools, so I went ahead and bought this too.After setting it up I am very impressed with it! My DeWalt uses angled 18 gauge brad nails that are a little harder to find than the straight ones and a little more expensive. The DeWalt also will not fire staples. Just brad nails. This Kimo uses the more common straight brad nails and standard 18 gauge staples and it functions better than the Dewalt too. The DeWalt takes longer to "spin up" than this Kimo does, and its louder than the Kimo.Both the DeWalt and the Kimo have a built-in soft tip, that you can't lose. That's nice. A friend of mine has a porter cable that uses little replaceable plastic soft tips. he is always losing them and they are not cheap to replace. The Kimo's is built in and cannot be lost. That's a big bonus. When you are installing cabinets with a fine paint job on them, losing the dang soft tip is very annoying.I am thinking of selling my DeWalt and just using this Kimo for everything. Kimo tools are great. They are offered at great prices and I have never experienced a quality issue with any of them. I am a Kimo fan now with three of their tools in my arsenal.

GREAT NAIL GUN! Only reason for not giving it a full five-star rating is because when it stopped working after almost three years of moderately heavy usage (using it an average of 2 days each week during approximately 40 weeks out of each year) I couldn't find any helpful customer support or practical repair services to replace its failed interior electronics control board. However, for its relatively modest price, versatile features...like its 2-in-1 ability to drive both brads and staples in a wide range of lengths, automatic contact versus manual triggering feature options, nicely focused project light, manageable weight for balanced one-handed usage, and its convenient nail depth adjustment dial...as well as the fact that it almost never jammed (and when it did, it was usually my fault), this powerful nail gun with its long-lasting battery is the best overall brad and staple driver that I've ever used. Since the only way to have the now failed electronics board of my first one repaired/replaced apparently is to ship it back to China, I've acknowledged that I've gotten MORE than my money's worth out of it and have just ordered a new one...exact same model, except this time it's being sold with two batteries, rather than the one battery that came with the original, and for the same modest price of the first one! Again, if this company had a USA-based repair service location and better customer support, I'd give it a solid 5-star rating!

I wish I could give ZERO to this product. I bought this product last year and used it for 3 times. When I was using it for forth time, it started jamming. I removed jammed staples for 6 times, and now it stopped working. On the listing they listed 2 years warranty, so I reach out to them over 1 month ago and they have third party customer service who just take your information. Per the agent I should get email within 48 hours, but no one responded over a month now. I reach out to them again and same thing. I do not recommend this product at all. I spent over $150, and I wish i spent little more for well know brand over this.

Update.. Problem solved. It seems that most of my prior communication with Kimotools apparently ended up in the wrong department. Once that was resolved and my complaint escalated to the proper department, I was sent a replacement Nailer with an apology for the misunderstanding. Thanks Kimotools.
