Does nailer alone really weigh 14.5 lbs?

Hi Craig . . . the nailer weighs less than 10 lbs, the 14.5 must be the gross weight of the nailer within its' somewhat rugged plastic case. . . I can't say enough about the nailer, it's my 2nd Freeman product. . . they offer a great value!

That weight has to include the case. I bought it to build a deck and it performed great.

Yes Sir: However, I have the "Jr." Traeger and must keep the turkey weight at about 12/14 lbs.

Definitely yes. In fact my friends brother, who weighs 65 pounds, was able to use this gun efficiently.

Actually it does... It is a bit different design - allows you to do 3/4" and 1/2" thick planks.BTW, the unit I got works perfect! I just installed 140+ SF of oak T&G; flooring with no hiccups and no nail hanging. There is couple of things you need to remember; this is not a really heavy duty commercial unit, droplet of light oil every time you put a new nail strip and most important - hit the striker pretty resolute EVERY TIME!Thanks, Mario

I weighed it and it came to around 14oz, so either my scales are busted or it does in fact weigh this amount. It isn't too heavy.

Disclaimer: I don't own a nailer (yet). The home depot web page lists the 18GA nailer at 11.73x10.24x3.54. The 16GA nailer is listed at 12.75x11.61x4.13. The 18GA Stapler in listed as 11.733x10x3.544. The new 15GA nailer is 16.46x14.65x6.06. So for the 18GA tools probably but the bag will be bulging. I don't see how the 16GA nailer can fit. And no way for the 15GA nailer.

I used some of the 22 degree without a problem. I've used Bostich guns for 30 years prior to this gun & this is as good as any I've used. t's a great nailer

Less than a pound I believe. I dont remember the exact weight. The nails are individually packaged by size in zip lock baggies and labeled. Then all the small bags are in a larger ziplocked bag. It weighs almost nothing. Hope this helps?

This nailer only shoots 15.5 or 16 gauge nails. I used 16 gauge nails to install my 5/8 bamboo. Worked great.

Leo, I am away from the tool right now, but got either 1 inch or 1.25 inch brads with the nailer. Hope this helps you.

No weighs more, you cannot get anything lighter to do the damage that this can, this is a great tool. Never a single problem and a nice workout at the same time. You will not go wrong by buying it.

The description Amazon attributes to the manufacturer states: "...fires 15-gauge nails from 1-1/4-inch to 2-1/2-inch." I haven't tried anything shorter, and I'd be hesitant to do so without seeing something from Hitachi that says it's okay. I've been fortunate enough to have an 18 gauge brad nailer/stapler (Senco) that has handled everything I've asked of it. If I'm using only a 1" fastener, 18 gauge is normally sufficient. If not, spacing them a little more closely should make up the difference in shear strength, IMHO. In most cases, I'd probably just use a 1-1/4" 15 gauge nail (if I had some handy), rather than getting out the other tool. I can see where that wouldn't always work, but as I said, the lighter gauge fasteners should normally work for applications using material so light as to preclude use of the longer ones. I didn't look. Do the other brands' 15 gauge finish nailers handle shorter nails?

The manual that came with the nailer says the minimum is 1 1/4 inches and the maximum is 2 1/2 inches (all 15 gauge). I have not used anything except the Hitachi 2 inch.

They probably mean with the charger, spare battery, etc?? It may weigh a bit over a pound, but it is not 4lbs. by any means. I don't have a small scale, but I'd say it weighs about what an average claw hammer weighs.

I have never weighed mine, but I think that the stated weight of 14 lbs. is about right.

I bought this for my brother who is a general practitioner and is very happy with it. I do not know the exact weight, but 14 lbs does not make any sense. It may weight 1.4 lbs. My brother had no complaint about its weight.

Unless you ordered a hammer a tool kit with this, it's NOT 7.1 lbs. This is a mis-posting on the page. Try checking out with it and I'm sure you'll find they aren't charging you by the ounce based on this weight.
