Overview
Coil-fed rather than strip-fed, the Metabo HPT N5008AC2 nailer is listed at 4.4 pounds. Coil nailers hold more fasteners per load than strip nailers, cutting how often a crew stops to reload.
Metabo HPT, formerly sold as Hitachi, has a long track record in pneumatic nail guns, and the coil-feed design on the N5008AC2 favors jobs with high fastener counts such as roofing or sheathing over occasional trim work.

Who it's for
Suited to roofing, framing and sheathing crews who value fewer reloads over a long work session. Less useful for finish carpentry, where a strip-fed finish nailer gives more control on visible surfaces.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Coil-feed magazine holds more fasteners per load
- Light at 4.4 pounds for a coil nailer
- No stated fastener size range or air pressure requirement
- Not suited to fine finish trim work
Performance notes
Coil magazines trade a bulkier, rounder profile for significantly more fasteners per load compared with strip nailers, which reduces how often a crew stops to reload during a long run of sheathing or roofing.
