Better ergonomics & nose make this nailer a winner

Reviewed by: WOOD Magazine

Review Summary

Grex’s Green Buddy brad nailer has more heft than the nailer I regularly use on jobsites as a trim carpenter, but it fires with less kickback. So after firing a hundred or so brads my hand and arm aren’t as tired. This tool’s nose profile—smaller than most brad nailers—helped me precisely place fasteners, even in tight quarters, while trimming out a kitchen remodel. Its dry-fire lockout prevents damaging the drive pin when empty.

…

The Green Buddy’s fit and finish are excellent, which I expect from a nailer at this price. The tool fires brads from 1/2" to 2" long, and I really like the extruded aluminum side-loading magazine that makes it easy to add them. There’s also a window that shows when it’s getting low on nails. —Tested by Dave Fish, WOOD Magazine
