Overview
The CMCN616C1 is Craftsman's battery powered nailer, weighing 9.05 pounds and rated at 900 rpm. It drives fasteners without a compressor, hose or gas cartridge, which suits buyers who want a cordless tool over a pneumatic setup.
Craftsman placed this in its cordless lineup rather than the pneumatic side, so battery charge state matters more here than air pressure or hose length. At 4.6 stars across 475 ratings, buyers have responded well, though Amazon logs no purchases in the past month for this listing.
- Battery powered, no air line needed
- 9.05 pound tool weight
- Rated 900 rpm drive speed
- 4.6 stars from 475 ratings
Who it's for
Fits buyers who want a nailer that runs on battery power instead of a compressor and hose. Less useful for anyone who needs a stated gauge, nail length or battery voltage, since none of those details appear in this listing.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- No compressor or hose required
- Manageable 9.05 pound weight
- Strong 4.6 star rating from 475 buyers
- Portable between rooms or job sites
- Nail gauge and length not specified
- Battery voltage not stated
- No purchases logged in the past month
Performance notes
Running on battery power removes the compressor and hose from the workflow, so setup is shorter and the tool can move between rooms or job sites without dragging air line. The listed 900 rpm figure describes the drive mechanism's rated speed; actual firing rate in use will depend on battery charge and fastener length, neither of which the listing specifies.
