Metabo HPT NT65M2S Finish Nailer with Air Duster — 16-Gauge, Lightweight 3.7 lb for Molding & Cabinetry

The Metabo HPT NT65M2S Finish Nailer with Air Duster is designed for professional finish work on molding, chair rails, and cabinetry. Weighing just 3.7 pounds, this tool balances smoothly in the hand, helping you maneuver into tight spots without excessive fatigue. It accepts 16-gauge finish nails from 1" up to 2-1/2", offering flexible options for trim and frame assemblies. The built-in air duster lets you blow away dust and debris instantly, helping you maintain a clean surface for precise alignment before nailing.

Precision, control, and built-in convenience

Two firing modes give you options: bump fire for quick placement and sequential fire for deliberate, controlled nailing. A tool-free depth of drive adjustment lets you tailor penetration to different woods and finishes, reducing the risk of over- or under-driven fasteners and ensuring a professional-looking edge.

The NT65M2S also features a non-slip elastomer grip and a simple flip actuation switch, designed to reduce hand fatigue during longer sessions. The 360-degree exhaust directs air away from you, improving comfort and visibility, while the no-mar tip protects delicate surfaces from unexpected marks. An integrated dust blower helps keep the work surface clear as you work, contributing to more accurate nail placement.
