Bosch BNS200-18 Brad Nailer

Has directable exhaust

By Kit Camp

Price: $97
Weight: 2.4 lb.
I was excited to test the Bosch nailer because I’ve never seen one on a job site. In use, it was just OK, and some of the parts, such as the depth adjustment, felt cheap. It struggled to sink 2-in. nails into my hardest test materials. This tool does have an excellent selector switch for the firing mode, but for the money, there are nicer nailers out there. Features: directable exhaust.
