Overview
The Metabo NT50AE2 is an air powered nailer weighing 2.2 pounds with a plastic housing and dimensions of about 10 by 2 by 9 inches. It runs on compressed air rather than a battery.
Running on air rather than battery power keeps the tool light at 2.2 pounds since there is no onboard power pack to carry, though it does mean staying tethered to a compressor and hose while working. The plastic housing helps keep weight down for extended use.
- Air powered operation
- 2.2 pound weight
- 10 x 2 x 9 inch dimensions
- Plastic housing, no battery needed
Who it's for
Suits users with an existing air compressor setup who want a light nailer for trim, crafts or light carpentry. Not for cordless jobsite use since it requires a hose connection.
Pros and cons
- Light at 2.2 pounds thanks to no battery
- Compact 10 by 2 by 9 inch size
- No battery to charge or replace
- Requires a compressor and hose to operate
- Plastic housing may feel less rugged than metal-bodied nailers
Performance notes
As an air powered tool, the NT50AE2 relies on a compressor and hose for its driving force rather than an internal battery, which keeps its own weight down to 2.2 pounds. The plastic housing further reduces heft, useful for tasks that involve extended overhead or repetitive use, though the compressor and hose add setup and mobility constraints of their own.
